gollark: 2.4GHz and 5GHz are different, er, frequencies, though stuff doesn't run at exactly those frequencies but generally around them.
gollark: That's not really quite accurate.
gollark: You mean 5GHz WiFi or 5G the unneceesary mobile standard?
gollark: RFTools has a builder block thing which can copy areas if you feed in the items, which makes the difficult bit just autoproducing all the items involved, which other mods can do okayishly.
gollark: It would probably be easier to just use CC and OC at least for central coordination and stuff.
