gollark: On said 1.12.2 server I had fusion reactors for that.
gollark: That is a lot of EU, from what I remember of industrialcraft.
gollark: Obviously they just loaded a backup, but I got to feel smugly superior for a minute or so.
gollark: The spatial IO thing did work, except the computer system managing it broke somehow so I had to manually teleport in ahead of the explosion (it propagated very slowly, Draconic Evolution is weird and also a bad mod which the server had for some reason but that's not the point), press the button, and teleport back.
gollark: You can use an emulator.
