2. who said redstone for glass fibre is cheaper? in large scale,using silver is better because it uses less diamonds

lets say i want to make 36 glass fibre cable

using redstone,

9 (6 EMC[6glass]) + 9 (128 EMC[2 redstone]) + 9 (8192[diamond])

54 EMC + 1152 EMC + 73728 EMC = 74934 EMC

using silver

6 (6 EMC[6glass]) + 6 (1024 EMC[2 silver]) + 6 (8192[diamond])

36 EMC+ 6144 EMC + 49152 = 55332 EMC

silver is cheaper, because it saves more diamond and create more cable.redstone are used for LOTS of tekkit item while silver are mostly only for condensing,so its better to use silver anyway

3. stop saying idiot, the one you are saying idiot might be smarter than you. Actually silver isn't cheaper it takes the same amount of diamonds, which is one, for redstone and silver. yes, but you clearly didn't wear your goggles. redstone makes 4 with one diamond. silver makes 7. get it? 4 is LESS than 7. so SILVER IS CHEAPER. maybe ge on a quest for goggles? What's with the goggles motif? Well, that doesn't mean anything. Silver has a more expensive EMC value, so, making more but using more isn't always an advantage.

By the way, using Silver makes 6 Cables, not Seven. you are right. bu my calculation is:

siver recipe total cost: 2*512+8192+6*1=1024+8192+6=9222

redstone recipe total cost: 2*64+8192+6*1=128+8192+6=8326

silver single cable cost: 9222/6=1537

redstone single cable cost: 8326/4=2081.5
