I'm not sure if this mod is meant to allow for duplicating matter values like we're often used to with EMC, and I get that avoiding that is basically impossible once interaction with other mods gets involved, but even loading replication into an otherwise vanilla instance, you can duplicate a lot of matter values just using a stonecutter.
I'm talking about stairs and several copper items. It looks like any set of stairs has 50% more matter than the block they're made from. I can see how that happens based on the normal crafting recipe for stairs, but the stonecutter allows you to make non-wooden blocks into stairs in a 1:1 ratio, meaning you can stonecut a block into stairs and replicate those stairs back into blocks for a 50% gain.
Even vanilla has a bunch of stairs with very useful matter types, like quartz, purpur and cut copper.
And cut copper itself is another block that allows for easy matter duplication. The normal crafting recipe turns four blocks of copper into four blocks of cut copper, so a cut copper block has the same matter values as a full copper block. But a stonecutter lets you cut four blocks of cut copper from one copper block, quadrupling the matter values. The same goes for other copper items like copper grates and chiseled copper.
I'd suggest putting a limit on stairs specifically so they can never have more matter than the block they're made from, which I hope can be done also for all modded stairs without much hassle. The copper items probably have to be handled specially.
I mentioned before that trying to prevent matter duplication when other mods are involved is nigh impossible, but a good approach to start is to consider building blocks that are based on certain materials but do not actually use a full block space - things like fences, walls, trapdoors and signs. There's a bunch of mods out there that provide stonecutter-adjacent functionality for these things, including for wood items. It may be smart to limit the matter values for these items to that of the material block as well.
