gollark: Since I don't want to mine for those constantly, the machinery near the back grows redstone (and slime, string, cacti) and also produces several million wooden planks a day as byproduct. I don't know *what* to do with those.
gollark: I also wanted advanced computers (and tape drives and tapes) and turtles, so we need gold and redstone.
gollark: You see, this is designed to produce *infinite* computers. Glass and stone are easy. But computers need redstone.
