Probably a better name than Operation Get Uranium to Spawn in the Overworld While Following the Original Uranium Generation Patterns as Closely as Possible, which took me up until nearly 04:00 to pull off.

How about Alex the Honking Bird? That's not a title, that's a Youtube channel.

I see this and think "All the birds in the club where you at?"

So, in Tekkit (Modpack for Minecraft if you didn't know) there is an exploit where you can grind Blaze Rods into 5 Blaze Powder. Now Blaze Rods have an Equivalent Exchange of two Blaze Powders naturally, so you can convert the 5 Blaze Powders into 2.5 Blaze Rods then grind them back and repeat.

IT's an endless exponential growth that is good for getting blaze rods.

I started it about 10 minutes ago and I've got two stacks of diamonds, I think it might be too powerful.

Alrighty then. Not much of a science pack user myself, too complicated for me, I usually just stick to magic and lots of it

Well, Equivalent Exchange is of the transmutation magic variety, but I'm utilizing regular science Industrial Craft 2 to buff it.

Moreso things like Blood Magic, thaumaturgy and botany, the standard and the best

I've not played with Blood Magic or Thaumcraft since 1.7.10, but I do know Botania.

If i recall they havent been updated much since then either, but still loads of fun if you can find a server for it

Oh god, I might have to ban this method, I'm already at 25 Dark Matter which is Equivalent to about 6.5 stacks or 425 Diamonds

Keep the method anyway, but divvy up the outputs between feeding it back in the system and throwing it in a trash can? Or do something else that's fun with blaze powder?

The system feeds back into itself unless the macerator cannot hold anymore, in which case it's transported to a condenser to turn into diamonds.

Okay this is even worse.

Is it supposed to be that exploitable?

I don't think IC2's Blaze maceration count was taken into account for EE2, so it's not supposed to be like that.

15 stacks of diamonds now, geeze.

[Olly 1,011]

stacks of diamonds? I'd be rich!

Not if you can't sell them to anybody.

are diamonds the hardest element?

Diamonds themselves are not an element, but I think they are highest on the hardness scale.

diamonds are able to withstand crushing pressures in excess of 600 gigapascals (6 million atmospheres).

Electrical conductivity

Not sure if that's true.

Also, I have room for about 15 floors on my Wizard Tower and I have no idea what to use them all for.
