gollark: I just stick mine into corners of my towers.
gollark: Exhaustive search is impractical. There are probably better ways.
gollark: See, this (and me not knowing the rules) is why I just ignored it for now.
gollark: If I figure out the moderator rules and get this simulator working (and hook it up to a genetic algorithm library) I hope it will be possible to design reactors which are stupider than any before.
gollark: Mine is 9x9x9, runs LEN-236 oxide at 34kRF/t or so, and is entirely passively cooled at the cost of several thousand glowstone.
