Oh my god is anyone ACTUALLY using UU-matter for any other purpose than creating iridium?

Bonkers!

If you are not using scrap at all while using nuclear power to make your UU - then making diamonds with it resluts in a MASSIVE eu loss. Let me demonstrate:

To make one diamond (8k EMC) you'd need 9 UU, which equals 9 million total eu. to get 9 million eu using nuclear power you'd use about 4,5 uranium cells (49k EMC each). 4,5 x 49,000 = 220500 EMC for every single stupid diamond you make. Even using scrap as efficiently as possible makes this crazy because 220500/6 = 36750 EMC for every diamond. The best option is to use the uranium ore to directly transmute diamonds, in which case you get 6 diamonds for every uranium ore.

Even if you make gold ore or glowstone the loss in EMC is absolutely staggering. Please use the mass fabricator only if you need Iridium ore.
