gollark: For example, in my very WIP pack, Botania items (especially advanced elven/gaia ones), NuclearCraft fusion reactor/dense energy storage/radiation remover systems, compact machine factories, that sort of thing, require lots of investment in one mod or something like that, so people will probably try and make and sell those.

gollark: Nobody's done it on SC yet, though automated commodity markets would be extremely cool.
