gollark: I've built (in creative mode) this really overengineered Botania mana generator. It makes TNT from water, cobblestone and horrendous amounts of RF (from a fusion reactor downstairs), and explodes a block of it every 0.6 seconds, which makes the entropinnyums (hidden behind that cable) produce mana.
