Whilst this is somewhat balanced, it can easily be lag-inducing when scaled up (I would need over 500 for my planned base)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/aidancbrady/Mekanism/issues/comments/149785850","html_url":"https://github.com/aidancbrady/Mekanism/issues/2991#issuecomment-149785850","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/aidancbrady/Mekanism/issues/2991","id":149785850,"user":{"login":"xenoswift","id":8413024,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/8413024?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/xenoswift","html_url":"https://github.com/xenoswift","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/xenoswift/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/xenoswift/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/xenoswift/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/xenoswift/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/xenoswift/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/xenoswift/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/xenoswift/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/xenoswift/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/xenoswift/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-21T05:24:37Z","updated_at":"2015-10-21T05:24:37Z","body":"The solution to the problem is to find alternative means to power the system."}}
