Impressions

gollark: I've seen someone with non-swarm smart mining, so presumably that would just need to be combined with the shared-map features in my swarm controller stuff, and delegation of roles, dropoff etc somehow.
gollark: Probably.
gollark: I really need to work on swarm mining.
gollark: How do you know?
gollark: I could buy all diamonds, if someone lowered the price to about .001KST.
