Extract

A race of sucklers, with gnashing jaws,

you finished the tale of the dinosaurus,

but you'll never rise above the earth

as we: you're dust and soil and dearth,

an organised pack with famished maws. -

Maybe you'll rise from your mud one day.

How much, it's up to you say."

(from 'The Last Dinosaur' in Huojuvat keulat, 1946)

gollark: Also, for shielding-type stuff, could you not make it so that radiation-emitting blocks have radiation output reduced by lead or something nearby?
gollark: HECf reactors will still need crazy amounts of scrubbers, though.
gollark: If so, I expect reactors to eventually have their power output contain a "- stupid amount of power to scrubbers" note.
gollark: *Can* you run multiple scrubbers per chunk?
