gollark: In fact, not only is it computationally NP-hard, apparently (Squid did some insanity here: https://squiddev.cc/2018/01/28/ae-sat.html), but to do it *well* you also have to somehow make highly subjective decisions!
gollark: Auto-crafting turns out to be extremely hard.
gollark: Probably, but it would likely only work within Opus OS.
gollark: Neat.
gollark: So your actual out-of-game server communicates with the CC:T one via websocket, which then parses the HTTP request and responds, or something like that?
