What to do with What

[PhilHibbs]

Is there a handy guide anywhere of what to do with each resource? E.g.

Coal:
1. Keep until you can convert them into Diamonds with a Macerator, Compressor, Flint, and Obsidian.

Cobblestone:
1. Macerate into Sand if you're not near a desert.
2. Craft into Slabs and Recycle to produce Scrap, then make Scrap Boxes for random stuff.

use NEI and press U when highlighting a resource to find the possible uses for it (won't provide in world uses though (like multiblock structures) and getting dark iron with wrathfire

OK that's useful, I didn't know that. I still think a guide would be useful though. It could warn people about poor uses, e.g. Gunpowder can be used to create Sulfur, but apparently there are better ways to get Sulfur that don't waste precious Gunpowder.

NEI doesn't cover certain recipes, start doing some thaumcraft research and you might find a way to manufacture gunpowder from cobblestone and netherrack.

Generally you can cycle through the various recipes and figure out which ones are more efficient- so warnings are already included...
