Ores

Name	Picture	Description
Copper Ore		Found on layers 10 to 70(rate 15:10). Used most notably to make Copper Cable, Bronze and Dense Copper Plates.
Tin Ore		Found on layers 0 to 40(rate 25:6). Used most notably to make Rechargeable Batteries and cells. Dust used for reactor components crafting.
Uranium Ore		Found on layers 0 to 64(rate 20:3). Used to make Refined Uranium.

Generation rate is number of generation attempts per chunk : number of ore generated per attempt. 20:3 means that ore will attempt to generate up to 20 times and will generate up to 3 ore per attempt, generation attempts can fail.

Overworld

Name	Picture	Description
Rubber Tree		Mod relates trees which have dark yellow logs and light green leaves. Cannot be found anywhere except Swamp, Forest and Taiga biomes. They are extremely abundant in Swamp, Forest and Taiga biomes and are easy to find through their unique "wing" on their leaf design. Their wood is special and sometimes has resin holes thet may be right clicked on with a Treetap to get Sticky Resin, used in Rubber production. Can be crafted into 3 jungle planks or smelted into spruce log. Leaves cannot be harvested and have 2% chance of dropping a sapling.

World generation rate of Rubber Trees depends on biome:

Forest 2-12% chance to generate 1-6 Rubber Trees per chunk.
Taiga 0-6% chance to generate 0-3 Rubber Trees per chunk.	Swampland 10-30% chance to generate 5-15 Rubber Trees per chunk.

Minimal tree height is 2 max is 8. Every log has a 25% chance of having a resin hole, max 3 holes per tree.

Cables

Name	Recipe	Description
Tin Cable		Special uninsulated tin cable which handles up to 5 EU/t (ultra-low voltage) have 0.025 loss per block. Uninsulated cables cannot be painted. Uninsulated cables deal 1 point of damage per 64 EU current rowned down. Most effective tool for cables removal is chainsaw. Used in crafting recipes.
Copper Cable		Uninsulated copper cable which handles up to 32 EU/t (low voltage). EU loss rate is 0.29
Insulated Copper Cable		Insulated copper cable which handles up to 32 EU/t (low voltage). Insulation allows the cable to be painted, reduces distance-based energy loss and completely removes electric shock. You can also apply insulation to uninsulated copper cable by putting the uninsulated cable and a single piece of Rubber (shapeless) in a crafting table. EU loss rate is 0.21
Gold Cable		Uninsulated gold cable which handles up to 128 EU/t (medium voltage). EU loss rate is 0.5
Single-Insulated Gold Cable		Single-insulated gold cable which handles up to 128 EU/t (medium voltage). EU loss rate is 0.4501
Double-Insulated Gold Cable		Double-insulated gold cable which handles up to 128 EU/t (medium voltage). EU loss rate is 0.402
HV Cable		Uninsulated HV cable which handles up to 512 EU/t (high voltage) and 2048 EU/t (extreme voltage). EU loss rate is 1.0
Single-Insulated HV Cable		Single-insulated HV cable which handles up to 512 EU/t (high voltage) and 2048 EU/t (extreme voltage). EU loss rate is 0.949
Double-Insulated HV Cable		Double-insulated HV cable which handles up to 512 EU/t (high voltage) and 2048 EU/t (extreme voltage). EU loss rate is 0.9
Triple-Insulated HV Cable		Triple-insulated HV cable which handles up to 512 EU/t (high voltage) and 2048 EU/t (extreme voltage). EU loss rate is 0.8 Although in-game it currently lists "4xInsulated", that is incorrect as you are adding a layer of insulation each time, not doubling the insulation each time. It is actually "3xIns" and should get renamed eventually in some future patch.
Glass Fibre Cable		Special glass fibre cable which handles up to 512 EU/t (high voltage). It is the only kind of uninsulated cable which can be painted and gives no electric shock. Glass fibre cable is useful for long-distance wiring, since it has the smallest energy loss of all kinds of cable - 1 EU every 40 blocks (0.025 EU per block).
Detector Cable		Outputs Redstone current when powered, support up to 512 EU flow(cannot be placed on HV lines). EU loss rate is 0.5 (Since v1.62 this is no longer a viable cable option to replace glass fibre!)
Splitter Cable		Prevents the transfer of EU while being powered by Redstone, support up to 512 EU flow. EU loss rate is 0.025

Nuclear Reactor

Name	Recipe IC2 classic	Description
Nuclear Reactor		Complex generator whose output and total EU varies depending on the setup. Refer to Nuclear Reactor for Dummies for more info. Needs indirect redstone current to run.
Reactor Chamber		Can be attached to a reactor to increase its space by 1 column, provides no bonuses, valid output and input.
Refined Uranium		Compressed form of the uranium resource, used to craft a Uranium Cell.
Reactor Plating		+1000 Maximum Reactor Temperature -5% Explosion Range
Heat-Capacity Reactor Plating		+1700 Maximum Reactor Temperature -1% Explosion Range
Containment Reactor Plating		+500 Maximum Reactor Temperature -10% Explosion Range
Heat Exchanger		These will first exchange up to 12 heat with each surrounding component, and then up to 4 with the reactor itself.
Advanced Heat Exchanger		These transfer up to 24 heat with each surrounding component, and then up to 8 with the reactor.
Core Heat Exchanger		These transfer up to 72 heat with the reactor, put will not move heat to or from nearby components. These will usually be at the same percent capacity as the reactor, so they are useful as a kind of thermometer for your reactor.
Component Heat Exchanger		These transfer up to 36 heat with each adjacent component, but does not transfer any with the reactor itself.
Heat Vent		The basic vent dissipates 6 heat from itself every second.
Advanced Heat Vent		An improvement to a basic heat vent, this component dissipates 12 heat from itself.
Reactor Heat Vent		This vent moves 5 heat from the reactor vessel to itself and dissipates 5 heat every second. This has the advantage that it can function effectively anywhere in the reactor, not just next to the uranium cell.
Component Heat Vent		This vent dissipates 4 heat from each surrounding component.
Overclocked Heat Vent		This vent moves 36 heat from the reactor to itself and then dissipates 20 heat from itself. This will cause the component to overheat if steps are not taken to cool this component.
Neutron Reflector		These reflect neutron pulses back to the uranium cell which produced them. The neutron reflector can reflect 10,000 pulses (one complete cycle from one uranium cell).
Thick Neutron Reflector		The thick neutron reflector is more durable, allowing it to reflect 40,000 pulses before failure.
10K Cooling Cell		Holds 10,000 heat before melting.
30K Cooling Cell		Holds 30,000 heat before melting.
60K Cooling Cell		Holds 60,000 heat before melting.
RSH-Condensator		Holds 20,000 heat. Can be restored with redstone (10,000 each).
LZH-Condensator		Holds 100,000 heat. Can be restored with lapis lazuli (40,000 each) and redstone (5,000 each).
Heating Cell		When placed in a Nuclear Reactor, the heating cell will add heat to the surrounding cells.
Uranium Cell		Generates 1,000,000-5,000,000 EU at 5-25 EU/t (depending on efficiency, that is, cell adjacency), but generates excess heat which must be eliminated through cooling. When it decays, 25% of time turns into a Near-Depleted Uranium Cell, which once recharged, turns into a fresh new cell.
Dual Uranium Cell		These act as if they're 2 cells in a Grid pattern. 1 Dual cell acts as 2x Uranium Cells are side-by-side. The output from a single slot used is 20EU/t because of 5EU/t per cell, as well as the +5EU/t per cell adjacent to another.
Quad Uranium Cell		4 Uranium Cells forged together to only take one space in the reactor slot; Output for these are 60EU/t. These new Uranium components allow for much more compact Nuclear Reactor designs - However you still have to manage that heat produced.

When a player wearing metal boots (iron, gold, bronze, nano or quantum) approaches the fences, said player is quickly propelled upwards while the Magnetizer uses energy. Takes 2 EU/t while a player is being propelled, up to low voltage (32 EU/t).
Electrolyzer		When placed adjacent to energy storage and filled with Water Cells, once the EU storage is 70.01% or more, starts turning the cells into Electrolyzed Water Cells, but once it's 25%, starts using up the electrolyzed cells to supply power. Speed depend on energy storage block tier.
Tesla Coil		When charged and applied a Redstone current, it starts finding NPCs and players at a range of 4 blocks at the cost of 2 EU/t. If a NPC/player is found, it will apply 10 hearts of damage to it and discharge. Useful for placing monster traps outside your base. Takes 5000 EU to charge, up to medium voltage (128 EU/t).
