Ok you have the mod great and everything but the new recipe for red matter sucks no offence but atleast make 2 or 3 red matter come out when you craft it like that the red matter is too much to make
If anything Dark Matter should cost alot more, and Red Matter even more then that.

The change to Red Matter was entirely intentional as to balance out the length of time between the DM and RM tech trees, and it's something x3n0 and I have talked about in the past that it needed to be done. DM was a small stepping stone towards Red Matter, and it didn't feel like a big enough "achievement" to finally get to the EE end game. I also correspondingly buffed the MK3 Collector and Relay to account for the increased cost to help offset the change. And being perfectly honest, this was way smaller of a change than I originally proposed.
I am open (for the most part) various discussion points of how to better balance the mod, but I need more than "this sucks" to go on. Math goes a long way to convince me of something, but at the end of the day we (x3n0 and I, not just me unilaterally) reserve the right to balance the mod.
Work on the Audio, and turn down game sounds/music.
And she's supposedly totally changing world generation for a future version.

WAIT, WTF. X3N0 IS DOING A LET'S PLAY?! On that note- Your voice is not annoying. At all.
Edit: Noticed you said you'd work on audio (the problems with youtube comments when you're embedding the videos in forums :P). Will watch more. Do pass go, do collect 200 EMC.
And yet there was no comment on my idea for Uranium Ore being 32768 EMC? That post was made of math. I even looked up the secret Superfuel http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&postID=44599#post44599 that hardly anyone knows about and spent 2 hours using calculus just to verify whether Lava was the cheapest power source to transmute.

I hadn't gotten around to reading that yet - most of my time on here today was a few minutes between meetings at work and the answers I posted were short ones. Re: Uranium having an EMC value, it was specifically removed because of it gave infinite power for IC2 and that didn't really seem right. From what I hear from the IC2 devs, it was appreciated when we took it out. I understand your math, but the decision was related to mod balance with other mods.
Impossible to make into free energy, but allows for EMC->EU in a poor conversion.
I think it's more along the lines that IC2 devs want you to have to actually go out and get the Uranium. I mean with a standard 17/5 tier 3 flower you can output a piece of uranium roughly every 15minutes. Which no it doesn't sound like a god awful fast speed but it's really still the fact that all you need to do is afk and you get another uranium. I'm personally for haven't the mod revamped so that Items are about 10-15 times more expensive to make than they currently are. I keep getting to gemmed red matter armor way too fast, I mean I set up a couple of the 17/5 flowers and find myself bored with minecraft. I've recently started just setting up 1 mk1 collector and relay with a condenser and nothing more, just so i can make items if i need them but not have a ton of stuff. Then I spend the rest of my time actually exploring and mining, rather than afking or building 17/5flower gardens to pump out tons of redmatter for no apparent reason. Now maybe if it cost you a fully charged klien star omega to make the Uranium, the devs might think it's worth it lol.
I still like the original idea that this mod was made on, get rid of that 8 double chests of cobble and dirt you collected during the quest to make your first diamond armor set of gear. Though I still love those divining rods, that way I don't even need to gather so much cobble and dirt XD
My main reason for leaving off uranium was just not to **** off Al. He's pretty hinged on good balance, and when things turn out "off" he's usually one of the first to say "hmm" at it. I've always tried to be respectful of IC's balance, even back when it was just the bare-bones stuff with full-block cables. Now it's got all the upgrades and stuff, I still think IC2 has good balance [matter generation, for example, takes a while, in comparison to EE] but the machine upgrades are pretty baws. It's hard for me to call them imba. Some of the stuff you can do with recyclers is crazy, but that's about it. And for the most part even that felt like a good amount of work.
Uranium stayed off the list because it was something Alblaka felt important enough to remove from even his own UU list. I figured I wouldn't step on any toes.

If you watch X3n0's Let's Play, he talks a lot about how the balance in the mod works (or doesn't).

@Underreit: Free INDUSTRIAL-CRAFT 2 energy is what's being discussed.
And frankly, you can make iron. You can make coal to smelt it. You can make copper. You can make tin. You can make redstone dust. Rubber can be infinite -- I haven't checked whether you can make it with EE2 yet. You can make lava cells. You'll have to set aside a large cave for it but you can make infinite EU without making Uranium.
Impossible to make free energy? No. when u changing coal into gunpowder u are using free solar energy.
Well nothing is free, technically you have to at the very least spend your time on it or I guess the absolute minimum is acceptance that you recieved the "free" item. But yeah, nothing is free.

Eventually, someone will, utterly by accident, click my reputation up.
I would say lava cells being worth 1 lava + 1/4 tin is easily the most broken aspect of combining EE with IC2. I did it because I was feeling exploity, it was a sort of experiment. I'd say it's a fun mechanic, but definitely broken. Definitely exploitable.
Er, well that and the other point worth mentioning is that IC2 and RP2 both add valuable ore gen to world space which was originally worthless, resulting in higher densities of EMC in shorter spans.
RP2 delivers more, on that note, but I don't really feel like it's a huge balance impact because simultaneously you have more things you're exchanging for in both instances, or reasons to spend/use EMC.
It takes me a while to encode them. It's about 70% finished and then I'll do another snippet. I think 3 in one day is a decent goal. I don't normally do videos well. My computer isn't that awesome, either.

lol, Yeah I know the feeling about the computers not being that awesome. My wife stole my desktop, even though it's right next to me she doesn't let me use it very often, so I'm stuck on my crappy laptop (which isn't that bad i guess), I keep wanting to make a LP or something but seriously my voice is um... really low and grumbly. No one could probably understand me. Guess I could make one put it up and see what people think, but I don't like my voice and I doubt anyone else will so yeah.

At the moment it's too easy to get Red Matter.

RM- Diamond Block surrounded by Dark Matter.
DM is still a small stepping stone, imo. I go Collectors->Collector Array(s)->DM Pick/Shovel for an hour->RM Morning Star.
I only make DM stuff to make RM stuff... DM->RM seems so fast.
I like it.
Oh yeah and
And Tommy Lee Jones has got better **** to do.

Or ask the man himself.

Dunno. Food for thought.
