Cool.

how do the tools differ from the vanilla versions?

Iron is more damage, Gold is more enchant-able, and Diamond is faster.

Oops, probably should've mentioned that on the thread.
Fixed

So, it takes what looks like 3 Quintuple Sugar cane and 4 quadruple sugar cane to make 1 sugar cane rod... That's 203,391 sugar cane per rod. On top of that, the tools take blocks instead of ingots/diamonds? All that for a "slight increase to all stats" and an obsidian mining level... So... What's the upside of using these?

It actually is 4 Double and 3 Triple, You need 216 sugar cane per 2 rods. If you have a decent farm going it should be too much of an inconvenience. Though if enough people think that it's too expensive I'll nerf the requirements a bit.
The part you quoted shows the advantages there. If the tool you made is iron it will do much more damage (5 hearts on a sword), If the tool is Gold it will have a much higher enchantability (Efficiency IV, Fortune III, Unbreaking III with one enchantment), if you are using diamond it will have a much higher mining speed. All tools get a slight increase to all stats but certain materials excel in certain areas.

If it compresses similar to XU cobble/dirt/gravel/sand, 9 compressed equals one double compressed and so on, then 3 triple compressed and 4 double compressed would still be 2,511 sugar cane for per rod assuming the recipe only gives one.

Woops, did my math wrong, definitely nerfing that.

Neat little wiki page with numbers: http://ftbwiki.org/Compressed_Cobblestone

 

[Numbah90]

Alright, next update will be 4 normal sugar cane and 3 sugar cane blocks instead of the compressed ones. Though you'll only get 1 per recipe. (31 sugar cane per rod)

 

[Numbah90]

Thought it was important to make sure people can actually craft the tools so I went ahead and released a small update (1.0b) which makes the sugar cane rods much more affordable.
No foods have been added yet.

Version 1.1 released -- Added sugar cookies, due to the high amount of sugar in them you have a 50% chance to get a speed II effect for 15 seconds when eating one

 

[Numbah90]

IMPORTANT: If you downloaded version 1.1 before or on 09/25/14 Download it again, I screwed up something when removing a ceartain mod I was planning support for which actually made it so the mod would not load on startup.

Also curse forge isn't letting me upload files... Yay!

 

[Numbah90]

Alright the fixed version of v1.1 has been uploaded, should be approved very soon.
