How to Get Iridium and Advanced Components for Gravitation Suite

Almost every Gravitation Suite recipe bottlenecks on iridium and advanced IC2 components. If you cannot craft the addon's items, the problem is usually upstream in your iridium supply.

Iridium Production

Iridium comes from IC2's UU-Matter system. You need a Matter Fabricator (or Mass Fabricator in older setups) fed with scrap. Build a recycler line to turn cobblestone or junk into scrap, then feed scrap boxes into the fabricator. UU-Matter is then crafted into iridium plates via the replicator pattern. This is slow — scale up with multiple recyclers and a steady scrap supply.

Advanced Components

Gather or craft:

• Advanced Circuits (from IC2, requiring glowstone, redstone, and electronic circuits).
• Lapotron Crystals (requires energy crystals and lapis).
• Advanced Alloy and Carbon Plates for the armor frames.

Order of Operations

1. Build the scrap-to-UU-Matter line first.

2. Stockpile iridium plates before starting any Gravitation Suite recipe.

3. Craft the base QuantumSuit pieces in parallel.

4. Only then attempt the addon upgrades.

Trying to craft Gravitation Suite before your iridium line is running will stall you for hours. Fix the supply chain first.
