Diamond Creation

In IC2, you can craft Diamonds! This is a multi-step process, all helpfully outlined on this page for you. To create a single diamond, you will need:

• 64 Coal
• 8 Flint
• 1 Obsidian
• A crafting table
• A macerator
• A compressor
• Tons of energy

First Step: Coal Ball

First, you need to macerate a full stack of coal to make Coal Dust.

Then, make eight Coal Balls using your coal dust and flint.

Second Step: Compress

Place all your coal balls in a compressor to make a Compressed Coal Ball.

Third Step: Coal Chunk

Lay all your compressed coal balls out on a crafting table with obsidian in the center. This gives you a Coal Chunk.

See: Crafting Guide

Fourth Step: Diamond

Finally, compress your coal chunk. You have made one diamond!

Final Step

Look at how many diamonds you need for a MFE. Weep.
