gollark: I think that's initialization syntax steamport used?
gollark: If I understand it correctly, it's a map of strings to maps of strings to bytes.

gollark: I asked on the FTB subreddit where I could get a recipe dump. This time I mentioned CC.```Some random person: You can do file I/O from text without issue.Someone probably wrote a CSV API.Once you define the format all you have to do is edit the file in the CC directory.Me: I can't actually find anything which will output the recipes in any format.SRP: You will have to create, essentially, you're own API to do that using the file I/O as your basis.```They win the Missing the Point award!
