Tekkit Tips and Tricks 5b: Transmutation

5b. Transmutation
When you right click on your tablet, you should get this inter-face.

This is the transmutation tablet. You would be "trading" here. The circle on the left is input and the larger circle on the right is the output. Under the input circle, there is the word EMC followed by a number 0. There is a slot with the picture of a fire in it. The last important part are the words No Lock. To start transmuting, put something such as dirt into the input circle where there is a purple dot.upon putting it there, the number next to the EMC would increase. The amount the number increased is the value of one item. The value would be 1 for dirt, cobble etc. You may also place the item into the fire slot to "sell" it and to gain EMC. Note that you would then lose that item compared to putting in the input where you may remove it at any time and lose the EMC. When you put an item in the input or fire, you would learn the item. This means you would be able to "buy" it. For example, if I put 4 dirt into the fire, I would have learnt dirt and have gained 4 EMC. If I then put a stick in the input slot and immediately retrieve it, I would have learnt the stick but not gain any EMC. I can then spend my 4 EMC from the dirt to take one more stick. I can do this by taking the stick from the output circle.

1 stick + 4 dirt = 2 sticks + learnt stick + learnt dirt.

If you want to, you can put 1 stick in the input and take out the 4 dirt. This mod is called Equivalent Exchange for a reason.

Note: The output shows all the items which you have learnt and can take with the amount of EMC you have stored.

You would notice that when you put an item such as dirt or wood, the words "No Lock" would turn into the word "matter". This is your lock of your transmutation tablet. There are 2 types of locks in tekkit and they are matter and fuel. What this means is that you are not allowed to transmute fuels into matter and vice-versa. E.g You are not able to convert coal into iron.
