Etymology
The name of this species (nigristriata) means black stripes.
gollark: What would be cool is a modpack with per-player specialization and incentives to trade, so "you make a power plant and I'll ship you coal" is actually practical, instead of "we both have magic powerboxes".
gollark: There's Age of Engineering, which is a tiered-progression 1.10.2 pack.
gollark: I make custom modpacks containing only mods I like lots.
gollark: With enough P2P tunnels, storage buses and interfaces AE2 can do anything!
gollark: I like to overbuild horribly.
