gollark: You know, sunrise/set walls are probably really hard to remove, since they can only hatch during designated windows.
gollark: There should also be a few 3G prizes in there. Well, two at most.
gollark: I do have those "2G" omen saltkins, too, so those can get bred.
gollark: I will make messy lineages so horrible (by just randomly breeding together stuff) that lineage collectors will weep at the sight of them.
