Has anyone seen this happen?
What happens if all of the minerals put into a gate at any one stratum are exactly even?

I'm not sure what would happen, but I do know it'd be a small miracle if all of the mineral counts were equal. I'd imagine it would simply choose a random theme.

There's only one way to find out...
I don't know anything about guilds (apart from the fact that I don't want one yet), but I'm sure a good-sized, strong guild could organize and sell the appropriate number of Minerals into a stratum 3 gate (for instance, as S1 is default and people care most about S5 and 6) to even it out in the final 3-5 seconds. I'm almost certain it'd choose randomly, and such an effort would require a few hundred minerals, so it doesn't seem worth it. But heck, what else is new in SK? Maybe they'd give us the Soul Jelly Palace or the Lovemulus Twins.

I assume it would calculate the first two minerals to reach said fixed number you are trying to get all the minerals too, however because the anti is also at the same number, the whole thing would be randomized.

It's definitely something that should be tested.

Cuz I've got six thousand of each mineral, and nothing better to do with them... of course, I'd just wait until the last minute, and then do it if I did. I'd have to be the very last person to dump anything in.

I'd love it if you could
I'd love it if you could change strata 6 to undead, I'd really like to hunt for a certain something...

Except I don't want to use them. I like my pointlessly large and ridiculous mineral collection that prevents me from getting all of the cheevos too much. :)

Processing Thoughts of You Always
The entire gate becomes Swarm themed, causing Void monsters to invade from the Core upwards, and start to break into the Arcade, causing it to be shut down.
...Nobody notices.

Answer
It turns into a random theme due to mineral distortion. I did that a few days ago in a strata that had little difference between minerals, and it chose a Fire theme. But someone had to break that in less than a minute and add some random minerals... and I should have saved a pic, because in the wiki there isn't the info about random Ghostmane Stalkers spawning in C42... so I doubt you believe me xD - which is natural.

While mildly skeptical, I do believe you. Has anyone seen a 3 way tie not resulting in a power distortion? Or does it always result in a power distortion?

Duh, find a gate in construction right when it pops up so its' even/empty. It says theme will be random.
