gollark: I've built (in creative mode) this really overengineered Botania mana generator. It makes TNT from water, cobblestone and horrendous amounts of RF (from a fusion reactor downstairs), and explodes a block of it every 0.6 seconds, which makes the entropinnyums (hidden behind that cable) produce mana.
gollark: Oh, RotaryCraft? Neat! I want to use it, but 1.7.10...
gollark: I don't think you can do that. It's not very easy to get a RNG's seed from observing some of its output, let alone a bunch of data vaguely based on that output.
gollark: You can also scan from orbit, I think.
