gollark: Ah, power creep.
gollark: I only have about 400 million RF of buffer.

gollark: It would probably be more efficient to just, well, use solar.
gollark: I mean, I can make lava, just at a power loss. I'm going to be making a new, probably passively cooled reactor soon anyway, to handle the neptunium and stuff from this one.
