After staring at the list of ore dictionary entries for a while, I think I found that, at least with the name to material associations we have right now, that there is no actual solution.
Assuming I understood the material register right, we have the following materials:
- NTM Uranium (NU), unifies to GT Uraninite (NU oxide, which is a distinction NTM doesn’t make so it’s ok)
- GT U235 and NTM U235, which are equivalent, so no further actions needed
- GT Uranium (U238) and NTM U238, which are equivalent but the “Uranium” alias is where the issue is
If GT unifies to NTM U238, there is no longer any item with the “Uranium” tag (since NTM “Uranium” turns into GT “Uraninite”), and none of NTM’s NU fuels would be craftable. If it unifies to GT “Uranium/U238”, that would mean that NTM U238 could be re-used as NU, which would be an infinite source of U235.
Option #3 would be saying “hey, what if we stop caring about what “Uranium” is, and if GT is installed, NTM will change all “Uranium” references to “Uraninite” instead”. That way the “Uranium” material doesn’t get in the way, since it would be equivalent to U238 and NU (now named “Uraninite”) would continue to exist. That’s a change on my end, but I’d like to know if that might cause any side effects because I’m not an expert on GT or how the unification works
