gollark: Oh, people read the code?
gollark: PotatOS is written to use `pairs` basically everywhere even when it relies on order, which is technically not guaranteed!
gollark: Not me!
gollark: It doesn't really matter. At all.
gollark: In that case:```lualocal mfsus = {}for _, name in pairs(peripheral.getNames()) do if peripheral.getType(name) == "whatever the MFSU's peripheral type is then" table.insert(mfsus, peripheral.wrap(name)) endend```
