ProjectEEquivalent Exchange 2 reimagined — EMC currency, transmutation tables, ultimate end-game gear
About
ProjectE is the modernized rewrite of Equivalent Exchange 2: every item in the game has an "EMC" value, you transmute items into EMC into other items via tables. Starts with a Philosopher's Stone + Transmutation Table → you bank EMC and pull items on demand. Endgame includes the Klein Stars (huge EMC batteries), Energy Collectors (passive EMC generation from sunlight), Anti-Matter Relays (network amplifiers), Watch of Flowing Time, and the infamous Red Matter armor + tools. ProjectExpansion (also in pack) adds higher-tier collectors and additional gear.
Things to do
- Craft a Philosopher's Stone (4 redstone + 4 glowstone + diamond) → transmute
- Build a Transmutation Table — learn item EMC values by depositing once
- Energy Collector Mk1 → mid-tier passive EMC; chain into Anti-Matter Relays for amplification
- Klein Star storage stack for huge buffers
- Watch of Flowing Time — speeds up nearby machines / crops
- Endgame: Red Matter Pickaxe (one-shots almost anything), Gem armor (creative flight, swim speed, etc.)
Getting started
The Philosopher's Stone is the foundation. Once made, every item picked up registers its EMC value with the table. Build a chest of common-everything (cobblestone, dirt, oak, wheat, etc.) and dump it into the table early — even basic items add up. Endgame ProjectE trivializes resource hunting; many packs disable it for that reason.
