gollark: There are no enderman spawners, you know.
gollark: So we would then either just share resources freely or set up autotrading for some other good?
gollark: I think for most things the infrastructure is only really necessary for *bulk* production, so we would need to automate this somehow.
gollark: Yes, though it only goes to your house right now.
gollark: Also, I've begun digging out the tunnels, though currently due to a lack of turtles I'm doing it manually, so it's not going too fast.
