gollark: It is just NOT VERY FUN to be forced into using one insanely overpowered mod.

gollark: Why even have it if you claim you can't practically use it then?

gollark: It's not balanced just because you have to wait a while for automation to make the stuff you need.

gollark: And it's *not fun* if your only choice for being competitive involves going for one mod. It's like DE.

gollark: "Insane amounts" aren't THAT insane with heavy automation.
