I got my setup all running smooth and went to make use of my uu-matter. I have the quantum gear, so I don't need iridium, but I do need lots and lots of emeralds. Only, uu-matter doesn't seem to make emeralds anymore... or many other things I expected it to make (rubies, leather, ender pearls, etc). Am I missing a step? Does it have something to do with the fact I'm using the DW20 mod pack? Am I not holding my mouth right?
Did I break my uu-matter?

You can only make those things with Gregtech. DW20 pack doesn't have Gregtech. DW is a wimp (joking, don't rage). I, myself don't use the nerfs.
Why not? Because I made the world using the DW20 pack before Ultimate was ready or I'd ever heard of GT. I went with the DW20 pack because I could follow his vids with it.
Even if I was looking to start over, GT doesn't have anything about it that is enticing other than extra challenge for mostly the same stuff. I'm playing solo here, and getting a diamond or breeding a bee is enough of a challenge to keep me busy for a long time, so GT is just unnecessary.
But it looks like I'm now on a mission to get some emeralds and find a use for uu-matter. I'm open to suggestions!

I wasn't judging you. Just cuz I love GT doesn't mean you have to. But I would definitely say it cures that end game lull.
A challenge I always make is make a fully automated factory of something.
Getting emeralds: Trade with villagers or create an all-extreme-hills Mystcraft age to mine in.
Use for UUM: Upgrade your quantum chestpiece into a gravity suit.
(Which will relieve you of a lot more resources than just UUM by the way... hehe.)

Wait, I can make emeralds?
*tries*
By dinnerjebhelperbone, you're right!
But I think I should stick with trading wheat for emeralds

This is an complaint wholly disconnected from the facts. Over 50 machines. Expanded (fission) nuclear. Fusion nuclear.
But yeah, if you never get to the mid game, you wont' see it.
IC2: Where technology assembling objects from thin air is easier to accomplish than mining.
You could always just add greg tech in to get the desired UUM recipes, as well as everything else GT adds. Just make sure to go through the config to keep everytbing as it is now.
I didn't think you were. You asked a question and I answered it. I didn't get emo about it.
You simply pointed out the same thing I did: GT gives you more complicated and harder ways to make energy. That's something you can get plenty of in the mid game. So, extra challenge for mostly the same stuff. That's not to say that it isn't cool. If I were playing with some friends I would much rather add that challenge as something we can work toward together. But on my own, just figuring out how to fit a few pieces of machinery into the space I want fills up my complexity meter pretty good, not to mention everything else.
Besides, I have more fun with other mods than I do with IC. It's great, but Thaumcraft is actually exciting to me. If Greg messed about with that mod, I'd be all over it. I don't really have interest in things like fusion power.
You are once again in error. Most of those 50 machines have nothing to do with power generation.
You imply it's an either or situation. You are again, in error.
I said, "GT gives you more complicated and harder ways to make energy." That's not an error, it's a fact. I know as well as you do that it does other things in addition to that. Me not listing ALL of them doesn't make me wrong. But most of those 50 machines can fall under the heading of "more complicated and harder ways to X," where X is the stuff IC does, because that's how the mod was designed.
So, back to my first point, where you started the argument: I don't find that kind of thing enticing for a single-player game. If you do, rock on buddy. You aren't me.
There is nothing harder or more complicated about pumping liquids into generators.
When you attempt to pass it off as all it does, it does make you wrong.
Most of those machines do entirely new actions otherwise unavailable in base IC2
Most people wouldn't find what you're pretending to be reality very enticing. I certainly wouldn't. Good thing its really quite different.
Though I wouldn't be quite as blunt about it as Doctor, I do agree with him. GT is much, much more than simply new ways to generate energy.
In fact, if I had to list all of the things/concepts I found likable or significant about GT in order of importance, power generation would probably be pretty close to the bottom. It's really the one aspect of GT that I wish he'd visit more often, because his machines require energy that the rest of FTB really doesn't support as well as I'd like. In that regard, I'd really wish that he'd take it upon himself to make more things like the thermal generator.
