Notes
  1. Fifteen players had to play in two preliminary rounds.[1] Four winners qualified into the first round of the competition proper.[2]
gollark: It's not enough (many electromagnets are needed) plus you need power to heat it.
gollark: The quarry draws lots, but on my SP world it could run at max speed fine on 10kRF/t. We don't actually need that, but I want fusion eventually, which needs much RF.
gollark: My design is 9x9x9, which means I'll need to set up autocrafting to make it conveniently.
gollark: I was thinking about making a new, bigger reactor design to run TBUox.
gollark: Ah. Yes.
