gollark: J'ai deux reactores de fusion.
gollark: I realized I could do two D-D reactors at size 2 to supply a single size-1 D-T reactor.
gollark: This compact machine is filled with three fusion reactors, a small local ME network for fluid handling, battery buffers, 7 heavy water pumps, and my AMAZING wiring.
gollark: So they don't go into the reactor when you're cycling it on and off.
gollark: Take the cells you have in the input slot out.
