Biology

The larvae feed on Gramineae including Sasa[1]

gollark: For that sort of thing I would probably just hook up automation and/or many blast furnaces.
gollark: Especially GT:NH.
gollark: GregTech, from what I've heard, seems very hard.
gollark: There isn't time gating like that, although you need several billion RF stored and/or several tens of kRF/t of production to start up a reactor.
gollark: The hard part is that the electromagnets require large amounts of *somewhat* annoying to get resources (tough alloy), and the "fusion core" requires elite plating, requiring a bunch of uranium-238 and "crystal binder", which requires "calcium sulfate" which requires a large complex chemical processing setup.
