Equivalent Exchange

Equivalent Exchange looks epic, trying to install it now.
If you don't want to watch the video, here's a summary but I don't remember everything.
This mod is about alchemy. Using 1 slimeball, 4 redstone, and 4 glowstone dust, you can make a Philosopher's stone. You may be thinking, "How on earth am I going to get a slimeball?!" Well, this is solved because you can craft a slimeball!
S = Seed, R = Sugar Cane (AKA Reed), s = Sapling
SRs
This crafts a slimeball in Equivalent Exchange.
To craft the philosopher's stone:
G = Glowstone Dust, R = Redstone Dust, S = Slimeball
GRG
RSR

Sorry if I messed up, the redstone and glowstone dust may be switched.
Well, with this philosopher's stone, you can make some awesome stuff.
P = Philosopher's Stone, C = Cobblestone
PCC
CCC

This will give you redstone ore!

G = Gold Ore
PGG
GG
This makes Diamond!
So, once you've made some diamond, and crafted some more you can make some dark matter.
P = Philosopher's Stone, M = Mobius Fuel, D = Diamond Block
DMD
MPM

With dark matter you can make some epic tools:
In all of the following:
D = Dark Matter, d = Diamond, - = Blank
-D-
-D-
-d-
Sword

DDD
-d-
-d-
Pick

-D
d-
Shears

You can make the axe, hoe and spade as usual but remember that you use diamond, not sticks.
Dark matter never wears out! Also you can charge with the 'g' key and it will have a special effect.






You don't really need that much cobble to get that diamond ore. You can always get some iron or gold ore and start from there. Dark matter kind of seems like a ripoff but if you don't have a mod like Zombe's then you can use too many items to get the dark matter armor instead of using Cheat Mod.
I wish the Philosopher's stone with 4 gold ore would give you diamond, not diamond ore.
Easy way to get diamonds! Kill a bunch of endermen and use the philosopher's stone to craft them into gold ingots and then to diamond.

The Interdiction torches will work with Mo' Creatures. Best use is with TMI.
