gollark: It says here that it appears around Y level 30. Hmm.
gollark: The batteries appear to also require *zinc*, which apparently doesn't exist, or is just missing?
gollark: <@121489337157287938> Do you mind if I use your railcraft gear to make some electric railway stuff?
gollark: <@!441604126514741258> Sorry about the weird playerdata reversion thing. The latest backup was 20 minutes ago, so I used that. Tell me if you crafted anything since then which needs replacing.
gollark: Also, the TMI tunnel is nearly done, I just need to finish the walls and end piece.
