gollark: If there was wide support for this slight craziness I guess Wolf Mall could get some internal network cables to move items without drones, and I could design inter-shop communication stuff.
gollark: That works too.
gollark: You could actually analyze, roughly, demand for items via krist logs, except KristQL is down.
gollark: Preprogram your shop with the prices and locations of other shops (or I guess have it communicate with others over some defined interface), and when it runs low have it try and buy more stock from elsewhere and send drones to collect.
gollark: Hmm. Drones can fly around other people's claims *and* suck up items...
