The obvious implication is that ST isn't early-game, although obviously this will vary from pack to pack. I dunno how non-RNG-simple it is to get ST in DW1.7.

Tinkers' Construct: One Emerald, four Gold nuggets, and 24 string makes silk touch. It's really easy.
Yep, that will give an even better return. I just haven't found any emeralds in this particular world yet.

With silk touch, a single harvested flesh block is worth a little over 500,000 RF. Kinda OP :)

Unless I spawn beside a extreme hill biome. I have a quarry, a renewable power source and an AE systeme before I can get my hand on an emerald.

But meh.. "early game" doesn't mean the same for everyone I guess.

There's also trading, an option for those wandering the land and raiding altars/villages/greatwoods for a while before settling down.

Villages FTW. I'm far more inclined to just roam around like a nomad with a bed until I find my first village. Pick berries and kill random animals for food, harvest any sugarcane you find, and then just go. Once I find a village, it's usually trivial to find a villager that you can get an emerald from with paper from the sugarcanes, wheat from the village itself, or logs. I don't bother to settle down until I've gotten one emerald. It rarely take very long at all if you just keep moving.

Two Big Reactor RedNet Ports connected with RedNet cable... and no more fiddling with turning the reactor off when I don't need it and turning it on when I do. Yay!
Yeah it is cool enough that you can do it with such simple means, but it is rather limited. Specially due to the fact that it will not limit the Fuel rods to a certain temperature to avoid bad efficiency.

And honestly CC computers are so cheap and easy to craft that you might as well just take advantage of one of the many amazing scripts that people have made.

Don't we all wish Minecraft could look like this?! Pretty cool but it's just an animation. :)
