gollark: You would just want elements with lots of stable isotopes and a regular structure, so carbon, silicon, germanium.
gollark: Yes, so stable isotopes.
gollark: Oh, and germanium can do 4 bits per atom, and is denser too.
gollark: Silicon apparently also has a crystal structure and 3 stable isotopes, so 3 bits per atom.
gollark: Ish. Civilization backup ships.
