Etymology
The specific name is derived from Latin fio, meaning to come into existence.
gollark: For example, in my very WIP pack, Botania items (especially advanced elven/gaia ones), NuclearCraft fusion reactor/dense energy storage/radiation remover systems, compact machine factories, that sort of thing, require lots of investment in one mod or something like that, so people will probably try and make and sell those.
gollark: Really? As far as I've seen people just set up their own basement farms.
gollark: Nobody's done it on SC yet, though automated commodity markets would be extremely cool.
gollark: Is hard.
gollark: There's some stuff which is somewhat annoying and complex to produce, so there could be a brisk trade in that.
