i was going to comment on how gregtech is not in unleashed then i realised iridium is from ic2
Actually, according to NEI there's a Nether iridium ore, and looking at the config it is enabled, but it looks to be obscenely rare so technically there is another option besides the fabricator, but it's not a very good one.
It's a possibility that's only enabled if gregtech is on. Sort of like how you can't see gregtech bees in the extra bees mod unless you have gregtech installed.
theres a few issues with it.

this will solve it for you, theres a adjusted gregtech config a little ways down.
Not only does it have them, it's the non gregtech recipe. There's already a base with 6 of them on my 1 week old server.
I think greg still has that code that crashes the game if Tinker's constructs is install not sure though
I think it's more to due with block ID conflicts. There's a way you can config around it, but I don't have a link. Was on Reddit weeks ago.
nope. runs fine for me.
i have the link to it above. a few posts down theres a modified GT config that solves the issue.
issue is with pluginsforforestry.
I love how people are complaining that the Mass Fab is the only way to get Iridium as though that were some insanely crippling change. The Mass Fab is NOT the Matterfab. It takes significantly less EUs and can run WITHOUT a boost, unlike the Matterfab. And it doesn't require UUM to make in the first place.
The Matter Fabricator requires 16,666,666 EU to make a single UUM.
The Mass Fabricator uses a max of 1,000,000 EU to make a single UUM if you just leave it running on its own without Scrap.
With a steady supply of scrap, it takes 166,667 EU.
If that's somehow harder than quarrying entire maps for Iridium Ore, you're doing something wrong.

Remember that lots of people have not been playing the game all that long. In fact, IC2's iridium used to be secret and obscure. Gregtech actually made it much more obvious how to proceed.
I think the thing that just kinda blows is that the gregtech advanced solar panel recipe is enabled by default in unleashed, but gregtech is not installed. I know gregtech makes a lot of things harder, but it's easier to get iridium with gregtech. The advanced solar panel only gives 8 EU/tick but takes 9 UU matter to make with the gregtech recipe. The hybrid one takes 54 UU matter. By the time you can afford that much energy, you could have easily made way more regular solar panels. I really like the advanced solar panels in how they store some energy and can generate a little at night, but it's not really worth it, requiring a ton of energy for a tiny bit more energy. If my quarries were automatically finding some iridium, even a very small amount, it'd be more worth it.
