It sounds like the quirks of how the game's entity updates work for anything but per-tick (update1).

Timers use update10 but it's not guaranteed to be exactly 10 ticks apart because the game tries to split the entities that want that update over all 10 ticks.
For example, if you have 100 blocks it would run 10 of them every tick, spreading the load to reduce chances of hitching.
Now if that list gets changed, it will have to shift things around, some entities will get put into an earlier bucket or in a latter one, resulting in them getting another update earlier or later than expected.
It's possible that shoot on/off would schedule for the gun to start firing on its next update hence the delay, although I've not checked the code to be sure.

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're doing there, I'd suggest asking around in #help-se in keen's discord or even posting a bugreport about this so they can make it more reliable.

I've been having issues recently with making a rotor rail miner and found out the main issue is that timer blocks starting themselves have around a 10-11 tick delay and that was throwing the rotor attach time off. Also have noticed previously that shoot on/off has more spread on rotor gatlings than shoot once, indicating that shoot on/off starts firing at different times. Is it possible for you to add a tick delay/tick spread stat? It would help out a lot.

That's because it doesn't matter for this and also for vast majority of mods which use scripts or add new things.

The only time load order matters is when 2+ mods override the same things, like override a block, a block-variants-group, an item, etc.
And there's ways around that by modifying things partially with scripts (or mod frameworks like mod adjuster v2) which reduce the chances of two mods changing the exact same thing, and when they do then their load order decides which is kept (mods at the top are loaded last therefore their changes are kept).

I love these tools you all create, but I notice that none of you actually post where in the Load order these things go. Since they are requirements for other mods, it would be super helpful to know this information.

Theres none that I could see. Though I recently noticed that space balls are able to be used as a short range antenna and there seems to be no mention of it in your info yet.

Ah I thought it printed gigantic numbers with grams unit =)
I think I understand, you want more precision in the numbers. Any other numbers that shouldn't be rounded?

If you mean under 1kg, it's been printing grams for years now.
Otherwise I'm not sure, I've done some testing and not seeing grams above 1kg inputs: https://pastebin.com/bp111yEG

Can you make a screenshot of the issue, I'm not sure what I'm missing.

the update causes grid weight to be measured in grams rather then kilograms when past 1kg, which makes it slightly harder to calculate the amount of newtons a ship needs.

Found a couple minor bugs. Spherical overlays appear to be missing one line at the bottom and if you use the command /bi mods in spectator mode it still moves the camera when you move your mouse.

Why'd I get a notification for this.
