The name Iga vas is believed to be connected with the Slovene common noun igo 'yoke', referring to the layout of the village in the 18th century. If so, the name literally means 'yoke village'.[4]
gollark: <@441604126514741258> did you look at the RFTools quarry thing?

gollark: I'll check the railcraft configs further, I guess.
