P

  • PBI: Polybenzimidazole. High tier plastic.
  • PDIM: Personal Dimension. Quest reward after visiting the moon.
  • PE: Polyethylene. Low tier plastic. Also known as poly.
  • PGS: Planetary Gas Siphon.
  • Platline: Platinum processing line, a long series of processing steps (and therefore, machines) needed to extract all the platinum-group metals from PMPD.
  • PLE: Precision Laser Engraver. Essential machine for circuit crafting.
  • PMPD: Platinum metallic powder dust, the starting material for the platinum processing line.
  • PPS: Polyphenylene sulfide. Mid tier plastic needed to cheaply coat high tier cables.
  • PR: ProjectRed or Pull Request on GitHub, depending on the context.
  • PrASS: Precise Assembler. A multiblock assembler.
  • PRT: ProjectRed Transportation, a module of ProjectRed.
  • PTFE: Polytetrafluoroethylene. Mid tier plastic.
  • PVC: Polyvinyl chloride. Mid tier plastic.
  • PVS: The Exo-Foundry Proto-Volt Stabilizer module.

Q

  • QB: Quest Book.
  • QC: Quantum Computer. TecTech multiblock used for several other lategame multiblocks, notably the research station and space elevator.
  • QFT: Quantum Force Transformer. UEV multiblock that processes resources with a non-consumed catalyst item.

R

  • RBOIQB: Reed, Blazing, Obsidian, Icy, Quartz, and Bone wand cores. They're all practically identical so they are referenced together.
  • RC: RailCraft, a mod that adds rail-related stuff. The most important part from this mod are coke ovens and the iron/steel multiblock tanks.
  • RC, but in version string: Release candidate. This is the kind of version we release right before a stable release. Recipe and balance wise it should be identical or nearly identical to the stable release that soon follows. Slightly more buggy than a stable.
  • RFPP: Reactor Fuel Processing Plant.
  • RS: Research Station.

S

T

  • T: Tier, usually in the context of a multiblock (ie. T1 for Tier 1)
