Etymology

The species name refers to the great number of cornuti and is derived from Greek sychnos (meaning plentiful) and Latin spina (meaning spine).[2]

gollark: A great part of this design is that it doesn't need wall adjacency.
gollark: The planner won't run on my system so I design ingame.
gollark: I have a 1000% design. If I could be bothered to expand it to 24x24x24 I'd expect >1200%.
gollark: Also, just run four buffers in at the corners (it's active diamond right?)
gollark: So add a top layer.
