gollark: When I do OC I just spent half an hour having to program recipes into my AE2 autocrafter for the myriad OC components and subcomponents, which is not fun.
gollark: CC computers are non-evil enough to craft that you can use them as "microcontrollers" to, say, move items around.
gollark: I too enjoy crafting something like 20 different components and recipe items to make a basic computer.
gollark: Also OC has stupid microcrafting.
gollark: If your code expects that to work it may sometimes *not*, e.g. if power failure happens, and the user will probably not be there to receive them.
