This species occurs in the Red Sea
gollark: Just pick up the crystals, sleep, craft 3 crystals with redstone and flint and a bowl, and rightclick a bookshelf with the resulting salis mundus.
gollark: Vacuumulator or annihilation plane and weirdness.
gollark: I actually just used the AR one. Which isn't very cost-effective, but still.
gollark: Bipropellant things are convenient because all you need is an electrolyzer to make fuel.
gollark: I switched to bipropellant engines rather fast so I could shut down the ridiculous and annoying rocket fuel making operation I had going.
