Getting horrible lag with machines that have special particle effects

[mosharky]

I'm new to the mod, but so far the Melter and the Ember Activator lag my game to a consistent 15-17 fps. Doesn't matter if I have both on, I'll always get that amount when looking at the chunk that has them running.

holy fuck 32 particles that live for 24 ticks each on the activator every tick

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not because I have no idea how to put that many particles and ticks into perspective hah

it's kinda crazy, i'll see if i can tone down the particles by a lot while keeping the same visuals.

Thanks dude. I really appreciate the speedy reply :D

ok so i've done some more profiling and it looks like this problem is actually probably caused by chunk updates. I've added some code to directly send TE updates without updating (and probably rerendering the entire chunk), but I'll leave this issue open until I have confirmation that it's better.
