Issue description

When two (or more) tiny planet blocks are placed near one another, a mana burst entering the range of the two always orbits one of the two arbitrarily. This might be considered not a bug, but I would say it's not expected or useful.

Looking at the code, it's clear that this happens because one of the tile entities ticks before the other, snatching all bursts in range. It would be interesting to make a burst orbit the nearest tiny planet in range, so a burst could actually swap between two as the orbit expands. But just making the burst orbit only the tiny planet it comes in range of first would be more useful and expected.

Steps to reproduce

1. Place two tiny planets within ~5 blocks of each other
2. Place 2 pulse mana spreaders, one pointing to each tiny planet
3. Give the spreaders mana and fire them
4. Both pulses will orbit only one of the tiny planets

hmmm, interesting idea. Could be tricky to do in a lag friendly way.
