gollark: They're not slow or massively expensive, just really annoying.
gollark: When I do OC I just spent half an hour having to program recipes into my AE2 autocrafter for the myriad OC components and subcomponents, which is not fun.
gollark: CC computers are non-evil enough to craft that you can use them as "microcontrollers" to, say, move items around.
gollark: I too enjoy crafting something like 20 different components and recipe items to make a basic computer.
gollark: Also OC has stupid microcrafting.
