Conduit animations are inconsistent and sometimes laggy

The conduit's animation speeds increase when getting closer to the conduit. I don't know if this intended feature is inconsistent as the conduit speed will revert to normal speed when too close.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Build a conduit structure.
2. Place a conduit in the center.
3. Swim around it and observe the animation.

Observed results:
The animation will sometimes lag or be inconsistently slow or fast. There is a lot of variation, thus users may experience different speeds.

Expected results:
A consistent and non-choppy animation, just like in Java.
