Absolutionis, I've rolled your inventory back to a couple of minutes before you did it. Try logging in again.

It works, thank you.

Not to server: Do not try to pick up molten silver with a bucket.

Logged on, got more lagbursts. Glad I'm not doing anything risky.

Chunk loaders definitely are having issues... I've been noticing my bees not breeding as they should.

I come back to an area that -should- be loaded constantly to find bees still working when they should be dead!

I still think the re-spawned mobs point right to the problem.

This. My quarry was having all kinds of back-log issues, even with my fail safes.

I had this problem too. None of my bees would keep going with the chunk loader. The same happened at my main base with that chunk loader not keeping the squeezer going.

I never found a solution either.

Two thoughts on chunkloaders:

1. Chunkloaders have a spinnyfloaty ball on them and deactivate when you apply a redstone signal to them. Maybe that may be the case.

2. I've read in places that the Chickenbones Chunk Loader has a tendency to not work well with some trees. Trees would have to be body-loaded by players. Perhaps bees are the same?

Are there still different chunkloaders in this pack, such as the world anchor? Might be worth seeing if using those makes a difference.

I am absolutely certain that Chunkloaders are not working unless the owning player is online. Report to follow.

I noticed that after a used Spot Loaders to load my new base, my Boilers keept completely shutting off. The fuel was fine, but the temperature would reset to 0degC. Not only that, but the chunks where I had "loaded" with Spot Loaders had been 'frozen' with steam still in liquiducts and steam engines still operating.. The chunks where I had portals, the liquiducts had *no* steam and the engines had shut off completely. Portals were loading chunks, chunkloaders were *not* loading chunks, and steam boilers were resetting their temperature after a server restart.

I hope you all don't get too upset. I invaded everyone's privacy, but it was for a good cause... I think... I tried to invade as much as possible as a form of equal opportunity invading.

Tons of pictures:

Here is me on the map. I Chunkloaded a bunch of stuff because I'm online. Those dots on the map are my Spot Loaders. The Blue Dot near my mouse is me. The Portal I have is chunkloading in the same chunkas I stand. To the upper right, you'll see Mondo's place. He was online at the time and thus all his chunkloaders are working fine. He has one at an 11x11. That blue dot on the map is him.


Mondo is on the map. Notice how close we are to spawn. Nobody else's bases are chunkloaded aside from mine and Mondo's stuff because only us two were online at the time.


I asked Mondo to log out for a few seconds. His stuff remained loaded.


Grundz's base is really close to spawn. However, it wasn't loading. Considering how much stuff he has, I thought it impossible that he didn;t have a single chubkloader. Therefore, I invaded his privacy. I noticed MFFSystems chunkload as well as portals. However, note that on the map only the MFFS is chunkloading.


With Grundz's privacy not invaded enough, I searched for his chunkloader. He let me in his place a while ago, so I was able to check out the machines and see how they worked. I remembered where the loader was. However, on the map, only the portals were chunkloading.


I went over to Darkinnit's place and found a single spotloader. It wasn't doing anything. The lonely blue dot is me. The other blue dot is Mondo hanging out in his base.


I went over to Gaskan's Bee Base. He had a Chunkloader. It wasn't working. As usual, the only green dot chunkloading was the portal he had.


I went to Gaskan's main place because it tends to lag the server. Items were all over the floor and his item chest from the Beebase was completely full.


This was because his ME system wasn't even on while the BeeBase was shipping items over. I assume this was because his boilers were resetting and cutting off power altogether. This is exactly the problem I was facing.


I'm quite certain that Gaskan hasa chunkloader somewhere, but it wasn't easy to spot so I gave up. On the /chunkloaders map, there was nothing. I was alone. Note Mondo's base is still happily working in the bottom right,


I know it's not much, but Gaskan, I picked up what I could and shoved them in this chest. It would have despawned anyways.


No privacy left uninvaded! This is Cptprice's place. Chunkloader not working. Only a portal and a gigaton of MFFSs.


Schellan's place. Same deal. Nothing.


GangstaMuffin's place. Same as everyone else. Found a chunkloader. Not working.

More evidence:

Here I am before a server restart. Mondo had logged off by now.


Server is about to reset in 10sec. Mondo's base is still loaded.


Post server reset. Mondo's base is no longer chunkloaded. I am alone on the server.

I felt like this was the case, but I'm kinda glad for one reason.
I left a system half unfinished and chunkloaded D: Enchanted items would be spilling everywhere

Yeeeeep. Thats sounding about right.
Definitely think Stein has a right idea- the update might have broken the loaders. Never had these problems then.

No worries on whatever got "lost", Abs. Im just thankful you popped in and saved what you could. Im going to hop on soon as I can and rig up an emergency override for my systems...

This is becoming a bit troublesome :/



Oh and regarding my chunk loaders- They're indeed there, I just tend to tuck mine out of sight whenever I can

Hmh.... and I seem not to be able to log on anymore without getting java timed out :/

I got on for a test go. It is literally so laggy I cannot even mine ores. to say nothing of thinking of slaying mobs.

Hi all, sorry for the lack of replies, I was away at the weekend. I'll look into the chunkloader problems this evening and see if I can get them sorted out once and for all.

I don't know if this helps, but I watch DireWolf20's forgecraft lets play (Which I think is FTB). And he has mentioned the 'ChickenBones Chunk Loaders' (the ones with the blue spinning orb thing going on) aren't working correctly in the current version.

Whenever he chunkloads something, he switches NEI to cheat mode to get the admin ones (which look like blocks with red corners and anchors on the sides). I've never seen anyone on the series use the blue-spinny-type chunk loaders, so maybe there is a problem with them?

They're on Minecraft 1.6 though, different version. Also the version of Chicken chunks hasn't changed since Unleashed 1.1.2. So it's more likely to be a corrupt file somewhere.

For what it's worth, the Portalgun portals, MFFS blocks (original, not Calclavia), and Quarries chunk-load on server start regardless of a player's online status. It's only the Chickenbones loaders that are problematic.

Also, Gaskan, this is the reason why your place is causing so much lag. You have two portals open permanently with one at your BeeBase and one at your mountain home. Your BeeBase is constantly producing combs in a chunk permanently loaded by the portal and shipping them over to your much larger base with portions frozen in time. Perhaps turn off the portals when you're logging off to freeze everything?

Quarries are probably the best bet then.

As an aside, I think I'm mistaken and Quarries only seem to chunk-load when you're online and continue until server restarts.

Quick screenshot on how to enable World Anchors:

Yep. I haven't been able to fix the issue with ChickenChunk's chunk loaders yet. But as a workaround I've disabled the fuel requirement for World Anchors (they normally need feeding an ender pearl per 12 hours to keep running).

There are two types of Anchors, "World Anchors" and "Personal Anchors". Personal ones only work when you're online, but World anchors behave exactly like the chicken chunks ones, except they only load a 3x3 chunk area (so 48x48 blocks). So if you're loading an area larger than that, you'll just have to use more than one.

World Anchors are disabled by default, so if you want to be able to craft one, you'll have to edit your Railcraft config file as Absolutionis has shown above. Note that server settings override any settings you have there, so messing with the other settings in that file won't give you any advantage Changing this craftable setting to true just allows you to see the recipe in NEI and get a visible result in the crafting output box (you might still be able to craft it "blind" if you have this set to false).

It might also be a good idea to disable any chickenchunks loaders that occupy the same chunks as a railcraft one, just to avoid any wierdness.

I'm going to play with some fresh new Unleashed 1.1.3 worlds, see if I can figure out what's wrong with Chunkloaders.

Hmm wich Minecraft version is this running on, just asking for when I might get whitelisted. That way I can make another profile with the right files.

See the first post of this thread.

I don't see anywhere if it's running on 1.6.4 or anything.

Yes you do.

Right here:

I have a server running the FTB Unleashed v1.1.3 mod pack.

The "vanilla" Minecraft server is in a different thread.

Why not say it's working with a different client. When I usually instal mod packs they get placed in the Minecraft Folder in the Mods map.
I've been slapping around my Minecraft client for nothing. XD

Darkinnit DOES say that this mod uses its own client, and gives a link to download it. Try actually READING the first post.

Yup, it's all there

However, you did make me realise there was one thing missing, Reliquary. So I have just updated the instructions in the first post to include enabling Reliquary (it got added to the "disabled by default" list in 1.1.3 to match it being disabled by default on the server). We have it enabled, so you should enable it along with BoP and Hats. Also see the stuff above about World Anchors.

(For what it's worth you can set it all up manually if you wanted, it's Minecraft 1.5.2, but you can dig up mod versions if you want to go that way instead of just running the FTB Launcher )

Might be worth adding those instructions about world anchors to the OP until the chunkloader problem gets sorted.

Ooooh... something is happening...

For the lazy:

Well that mod looks gimmicky and bad. Complex, and intriguing, but utterly impractical.

I remain slightly optimistic that it will be good, but mostly I greet its arrival with cold cynicism.
