Normal and modded beacons rotate for a short while when placed with no power connected. They shouldn't rotate at all.

Entities are placed with a tiny bit of power in their internal buffer.
You can see that most clearly with roboports.

Its an optimization too, the beacon only has to update every 120 ticks, significantly improving UPS.

How are those ticks scheduled? Globally? after placement? Can't it get one extra tick when placed to not move?

Add the accumulator to the recipe ingredients and fixed?
