    gollark: Well, yes, exactly, there are steam-based generators in my modpack, but I have no idea about compatibility.
    gollark: I decided to just go for more regular fission now and fusion later because it's better documented and I've no idea what sort of turbines or whatever work for molten salt.
    gollark: I mean, it's cool, but also annoying.
    gollark: * insanity
    gollark: Aaargh, these chemical processing recipes are driving me to instantiy.
