UU-Matter

UU-Matter lets you copy any item that has a UU value: scan it once and then replicate it with energy.

The machines

1. Mass Fabricator: turns 1,000,000 EU into 1 mB of UU-Matter (HV tier). With Scrap or Scrap Box each EU is worth 6. Redstone stops it.
2. Scanner: records an item's pattern (consuming the item and about 850,000 EU) into the adjacent Pattern Storage or the Crystal Memory in its slot.
3. Pattern Storage: stores patterns; imports and exports memory crystals. Uses no energy.
4. Replicator (EV): creates the selected pattern's item using 0.1 mB of UU and 512 EU per tick. Modes: once, continuous and stopped.

With the fluid ejector upgrade on the fabricator and the fluid pulling upgrade on the replicator, UU flows from one to the other by itself.

UU values

Each item costs what it is worth in IC2: world resources have a base value and recipes propagate it to everything else. Some examples:

Item	Cost
Cobblestone	10 µB
Diamond	24.1 mB
Iridium Ore	~120 mB

Values live in a datapack (data/*/uu_values/), so each server can change them. Creative items, structure loot and boss drops have no value on purpose.

The replicator can copy Iridium Ore: it is one of the ways to get iridium without relying on chests.
