Hello Guys ! :)

Knowing that i already did the matter fabricator, thanks the two iridium ore block i found, what to do with my 4 recently made iridium plate ? Begin the Quantum armor ? Or wait to produce UU-Matter to make Hybrid Solar Panel ?

UU-matter is soooo long to produce, i have only 3 so far, and i need 6 to make the sunarium...

There is so much i want to do, but only 4 plates. I wanted to to the Hybrid Solar Panel, but my Matter fabricator is running slow, so now i'm just making advanced ones. I though of building an AESU, but same, i need 4 more plates to make the big lapotron.
Maybe the ultimate lappack for now, as it require "only" 1 plate to do, but still, i'll have 3 spare...

Edit : Definitely not the U-Lappack because it require superconductor, which require 4 plates to do :(

Hybrid and ultimate solar panels are more energy sinks then energy producers (more than 2 weeks before cost of iridium and sunnarium will pay of), every other way of producing energy is better. I'd go with quantum leggings (work great with boots of the traveler) or iridium reflector.

I agree on the reflectors. Not many people opt for Nuclear nowadays and go for the free energy cheaty solar panels (I mean why would you? It's confusing and worth less than solar, right?) but if you're high on copper, you can have an extremely productive reactor array.

Plus, you're going to need a handful of them for the fusion reactor, and it's not like they break.

I would say Quantum leggings, or save up for the Ultimate solar, although if only to wear on your head with the Ultimate Solar helm.
Super mega Useful :3

After you make your first hybrid solar panel, the next six UU will take a bit less time to make (although the next 56 UU matter which is required to make eight iridium for two more iridium plates, will take forever and a day). Every time you add more constant energy output to your system, you get UU that much faster.

I though about making a nuclear reactor, but i'm not sure i've enough copper to throw in that, plus the last time i tried a "safe" setup in creative, well it ended with a mothafucka hole in the ground.

Nuclear power isn't the best way to make power. If you are after power, go with lava (either from the nether, or magma crucible cobblestone) or solar.

The thing is i try to keep it "realistic". I mean that i try to make minimal interactions with interdimensionnal words like the Nether, or do stuff that is not possible, like creating lava from nothing. ;)

You are not making it from "nothing". You are converting one cubic meter of mixed stone (called cobblestone) into lava with the application of energy. Provide enough energy to stone, and it melts, ergo lava.

And on the train of thought, you are able to carry about cubic meters of sand, water, stone, wood, etc, so realism is out the door at that. Sorry mate, heheh.
