gollark: Most of it is a mana generator. For that, I looked at ways to make mana, then how to make the fuel each of them needed, and how I could make *that*, found one which seemed easiest, and then built small subunits for making each thing and connected them up.
gollark: What whole thing, the bunker or redstone generator?
gollark: It's already energy-shielded and reasonably blast-proof, but teleportation is a thing, so I'm thinking about putting some internal defenses.
gollark: I'm currently working on (in creative mode) this bunker thing, which will eventually (I hope) be able to produce all its components from scratch.
gollark: There's a mod for it.
