gollark: There should be a way to convert corium into diamond blocks.
gollark: I am definitely not using this in any serious setting, though. If the computer shuts down at the wrong time, boom.
gollark: I put in the HECf-251-Ox as a joke. 282240RF/t, 462480H/t, and the only way it hasn't melted yet is an opencomputers controller dynamically toggling it on or off every tick as needed.
gollark: Er, 28224, whatever.
