I havent been having any resource issues, normaly been mining up enough to get my starting stuff and a Mass Fabricator within the first 3 days of starting, just off a few of getting a solar panel to get free energy for creating UU-Matter to stop my resource problems for IC2 and I create my own PhilStone through gold and redstone for Equivalent Exchange (Sadly due to a 1 letter typo can't create tin or copper with it any during the latest update)
