gollark: My long-term plans: The `Deus Volt` power station, consisting of enough max-size reactors to cycle through most of the renewable fuels, giant power buffers for them, power routing controls, (obviously) fuel production, and also Botania mana production.
gollark: My fission *can* do 70kRF/t or so, I mean, and my fusion 600kRF/t.
