gollark: If you use a mana enchanter with an AS book which is higher than is allowed, it seems to just drop the "illegal" enchantments. If you use an EIO dark steel anvil, it keeps *some* of them.
gollark: Apparently this last one is an unpatched bug.
gollark: I've been testing it in creative. Main points: the flux-infused armor is actually bad and IC² armor good; AS's higher-than-usually-allowed enchantments interact weirdly with anvils and the mana enchanter, and apparently cannot be applied to quantumsuits, even though they work in anvils; the quantumsuit has a built-in jetpack which cannot be disabled due to ???.
gollark: Idea: dynmap (good).
gollark: The machine structure recipe is very intimidating.
