e.g., no IBF recipe for chrome, and advanced machine casings use aluminum instead of chrome.

Also, I can craft an electrum block into 9 chrome ingots? Lolwut?

Mod still in alpha, may be a LOT of bugs.. ^.^''

so we need to squash them, so then we are beta, and then kill the rest of em for stable release, so basically, let's first start with recipes indeed, also OD is sometimes messed up...

Also a lot of machines still unimplemented and IC2 classic support still needs to be developped... This is actually alpha pre release then xD

But yeah you are right....

@Carbon-Ghost, yeah Carbon, I know all this - I'm one of the project devs. I'm just making issues so I have a record of the problem.

this is because the meta changed when moving things around @Tntrololol will fix

This has been fixed in a number of different commits.
