gollark: It's (probably mostly) always more efficient to use the oxide ones, interestingly.
gollark: What fuel are you using?
gollark: I have a bunch of designs or metadesigns for high-efficiency low-heat-fuel expensive-components reactors we could use.
gollark: The ratio's something like 1 EU:4 RF.
gollark: We can convert EU to RF transparently.
