b FIXED Intermittent lag spike

Hello,

It seems there's an issue where once in a while the mod causes the game to take about ten times as long to process the tick (7-9 ms normal, about ~70 ms with the slowdown). I suspect the culprit is the function on line 92 of control.lua which is registered to run every two seconds (about the frequency of the hiccup). If I comment out this like the hiccup disappears. The function seems to do an expensive search looking for all the advanced drills in the world which I think is what causes the slowdown (even though I have no advanced drills built).

Hello,

After taking a closer look there was indeed an ups spike because of this mod. I've taken a look and made changes that should improve this problem a lot. Please let me know if it's better in 2.0.2 now.

Thanks for your report.
