gollark: (Spatial IO is storing blocks and stuff inside spatial storage drives)
gollark: I think the base is 1.25kRF/block and then it's raised to the power of 1.35.
gollark: ```spatialio { D:spatialPowerExponent=1.35 D:spatialPowerMultiplier=1250.0 I:storageDimensionID=2 I:storageProviderID=-11}```Power usage, meet config editor.
gollark: See, you need giant banks of dense energy cells to power big spatial frames, and why not only use *one*?
gollark: Wait, I just had a great idea, automatically switching toggle buses on and off to send spatial IO power stores to different systems.
