also worth mentioning re the diamond example below is that you want to place 1 of each item on each purple spot, on the left hand side. then create 1 cactus (or furnace, or whatever) out of that from the right hand side.

in other words, a STACK of items on one purple slot will only count as one item. so even if you have 23 cobblestone on one slot, the tablet will tell you that you only have 1 EMC invested instead of 23 EMC. you have to split it across the 8 slots, so you can get a maximum of 8 EMC (for cobblestone). so you want to gather as much higher EMC stuff as you can, and then replace the new stuff (cactus/furnaces) down on the left hand side again, so you'll get a maximum of 64 EMC for the cactii/furnaces, and so forth.
