Species
gollark: The factory grows.
gollark: Sure!
gollark: I'm trying and failing to design this new production area here nicely. I was going for splitting it into quarters with different types of wood in each, but as it turns out we don't actually have much different wood, and now I have no idea what to do with this.
gollark: This is boring.
gollark: Yes, it timed out, working now.
