gollark: It would be quite cool.
gollark: One cool idea I had was a semi-automated market using Plethora to move items around between chests, using computers.
gollark: If you want concrete to be cheaper, then according to economic theory™ you should... buy less of it, or sell some?
gollark: Okay, wow, that's expensive, I'm not going *there* for it.
gollark: I suppose that may be an alternative to using some old Keansian surplus equipment which makes it.
