That reminds me of Antichamber.

so any update on the chunkloader issue?
would deleting the server chunkloader config fix it?

**Absolutionis**

Seems useful in a completely decorative sense. You can make statues that change shape and stairs that materialize depending on which direction you look.

I wonder how these observer-changing things would work in multiplayer. I wonder if there is a way to get rid of the obvious green glow as things change.

Not a fan of how it places yet another mod-specific worldgen ore. Can't they just make a supercollider block-machine that you feed glowstone/redstone/monazit/uranium/iridium/gemstones/etc into?

**Anvildude**

I'm not sure it's based solely on observation- I feel it's more based on both player location as well as observation direction.

Also not sure how it would work with multiplayer.

Sorry, I was a bit tired after work to look into it last night. I did try deleting the chunkloader data files on Monday, but unfortunately that didn't work. That's why I enabled the World Anchors without enderpearl fuel as a work-around.

I'll take another look into it tonight, maybe

**cptprice0330**

i presume you are fixing ti know , as the server won't let me connect due to chicken chunks

**darkinnit**

Ok, your Chunkloader was working after the restart, so that's a good sign. I need more people to login to test it out. I think some chunkloaders may have been deleted, so I'll replace them if they're missing.

**Corpsesarefun**

I can't really see how any of that relates to quantum physics...

**Ramos Asura**

That mod looks kinda pointless. I think its more gimmicky than useful. Cant really see a point to it other than puzzle maps. Even then..... eh.

And its following a thought experiment in quantum physics, specifically perceptions and stuff... Though thats really my extent of comprehension. Im an english major, not a physicist

**darkinnit**

Ok, although I've only been able to test a sample size of 2, I think the chunkloaders problem is fixed, with the downside that a lot of chunkloaders and spotloaders have vanished. :-)

I'll replace any missing loaders.

Gaskan Ramos Asura Komrade, I did throw a load of railcraft anchors around your place to alleviate the lag bursts. You can remove them if/when your chicken chunk loaders are back.

**Dr. What**

I'll have to get back on tomorrow and see if my 2 are still around then.

I'm a physicist, it really has feth all to do with it.

Just the usual "ooooh! quantum phasing! science!" scifi bs.

Badly.

It's the idea of something changing every time you look at it, because of how popular understanding of quantum science states you can't measure something's speed without changing its location, and you can't find its location without changing its speed.

Popular understanding of science can be annoying at times.

**Absolutionis**

You're on the ground floor. You look upwards, and an upwards-staircase materializes. Alternatively, you can look downwards, and the space would instead be filled with a downwards staircase.

Or you're at the top of a tower with two towers to the right and left. You look at one tower, and a bridge materializes to it.

It's all aesthetic. It's gimmicky. It's different. It's welcome (so long as it's not super-laggy).

As for the science-thing, it doesn't matter. I'm an engineer, and I can still enjoy movies like The Core or Armageddon because they're just SciFi goofiness. "Quantum" is the new "Nuclear"/"Atomic". The same people that understand the bare fundamentals of nuclear physics and genetics can still enjoy X-Men, Spiderman, and Ninja Turtles. Just categorize this mod under "Fantasy" and we'll all be happy.

Just be happy there are no cats involved (yet).

**4oursword**

Simply put a cat in a chest with a poison potion, and wait for quantum fun!
*the qcraft definition of fun may not match any dictionary definition*

This mod looks like it might be the new Gregtech. Nobody likes it for ages except one small group, but it gets in modpacks anyway. I see no way this mod can work in SMP.

**Melissia**

Looks good for adventure maps though.

From what I understand, people dislike Gregtech because it's needlessly complicated, creates an arbitrary "hardmode", messes up several of the other mods' recipes, adds tons of needless ores into the game, and includes code that intentionally sabotages your game if you mess with its settings.

This Quantum thing is just a gimmick. My only complaint is that it adds another unneeded ore.

**darkinnit**

Ok, Gaskan's chunkloaders are working after the server restart. I think the problem is sorted.

Everyone else, last reminder, some chunkloaders got deleted. If your chunkloaders are missing from your place, either catch me in-game or PM me on here and I'll replace them.

Those of you who made Railcraft World anchors and don't need them anymore, I will also be willing to trade them in for the source materials.

**Ramos Asura**

Cool! Thanks for working on this, dark!

**Leigen_Zero**

That qCraft actually looks pretty nifty (ok, let's be human being here and use our advanced brains to ignore the fact that it isn't actually a representation of real quantum physics).

The observable blocks look quite nifty, , no major impact on gameplay but could be used to good effect

one-way doors are going to be easy (as apparently it displays the properties of the observable side)So e.g. west is an air block, east is obsidian.

walk through doorway, turn around, now the way out is a wall of obsidian, better hope you brought a suitable tool...
(admittedly this works better in vanilla, because FtB adds many many things that make obsidian a trivial obstacle)

Do World Anchors need pearls to run again then?

**darkinnit**

No, I've decided to leave them unlimited.

The fuel requirement was originally added to World Anchors as a solution for all the servers that just disabled World Anchors altogether, but we allow chunkloaders so there's little need for the fuel requirement. Not that I'm saying you can go nuts spraying chunkloaders everywhere, please do continue to be reasonable. I prefer to only set limits when they're necessary.

**FM Ninja 048**

Well dang, two of my wells got hit by lightning, how do I put them out? can I put them out?

**Absolutionis**

So here's an oddity. It seems that World Anchors are making all microblocks in their chunk inexplicably disappear. It's only *their* chunk and not the ones they load. Looking on the internet, it seems this isn't an isolated incident.

I guess it's back to using Spot Loaders...

**4oursword**

Anyone have a witch farm or a known spot where they spawn? I always seem to be low on redstone.

**Wyrmalla**

A quarry not an easier manner of collecting it? Witch seem to be exceedingly rare, more so than say the amount of redstone one would find in a quarry. Still I'm pretty ignorant about how ftb works, so there's probably some sort of self duplicating resource fabricator ...of awesome for that kind of thing. ^^

**4oursword**

You can farm them very easily if you can grab one in a Pokéball.

**Absolutionis**

Witches are a respectably common spawn in Magic Forests at night.

**4oursword**

The ones in the Twiglet Forest?
