I've used IC2 with 1.5.2 , then mass fabricator produced matter in pieces, and one daimond reqired 9 pieces.
Now in IC2 Exp we have liquid system, 3 new (pretty costy in matter of craft) mechanisms and that's nice.
Then I tried to produce some UU matter - it's like 1 new UU matter requires the same energy as old one.
Looking into Wiki - it says, one diamond reqires 10121 UU matter and 560000 EU...
WHAaaaa?...
10121 against old 9?
1125 times expensive? is it a bug or a joke?
With more then 100 solar panels I've gathered about 60 UU matter for a 3 evenings of gaming!
Then, is a gold processing the only one way to get silver except may be treasure chests?
