I hit a really unfortunate snag: this map opens fine in qdmm but explodes when you open it with dreammaker. The error that dreammaker prints is nonsensical and doesn't help solve the problem. Sometime...

the singularity could be easily tweaked to be a bit less disastrous once it's loose, just make it so it doesn't move around too much and perhaps give engineering some means of killing it or pushing it...

Compared to the TEG, the singularity is kind of bland in terms of what engineers can do with it. You turn it on and let it do its thing, and that's it. You can't minmax anything to squeeze more energy...
