gollark: I'm going to work on a "safe mode" toggle for the network which switches security to maximum, shuts off wireless access, disconnects autocrafting, and cuts off the P2P controller, so it can only be accessed via the dedicated terminals.
gollark: You must have a really inefficient ME network, <@404656680496791554>.
gollark: Per tick or what?
gollark: Though admittedly in my game running the ME system alone costs 600RF/t.
gollark: It's amazing how easy it is to *not* waste millions of RF/t somehow.
