Notes
gollark: Oh cool, CC.
gollark: Me and another person made this extremely overengineered cobble generator, which produces octuple compressed cobblestone.
gollark: I do *some* designs by hand. But this is kind of resource constrained and the magic algorithm™ did a much better job.
gollark: The (machine-designed) "Unicode Consortium" nuclear fission reactor #1.
gollark: I feel like I'm living in the future. I just had a computer program automatically design a reactor for me to use in Minecraft.
