Re: Unclear Rules For The Boiler

Think of it like a conveyor belt (which seems to be pretty much exactly what it is).

If you dump the balls such that the belt can pick up ball after ball after ball, end to end, then it is processing balls as fast as it is able at a rate of about 5 per second. But it can only do that if there are balls being loaded in at least that fast. Otherwise, there would be small gaps between ball pickups and that would slow the rate.
