Aah my precious Frame Machine is gone!

It used to look like this:

Was it moving during a server crash

your second pic is not from the same angle cant see if it was a chunk reset from that angle, oh & btw your tunnel bore had no way of digging down, & solar powered!!, I guess it was just an exercise or test build, & the shape of its work face was fancy but not to practical.

I believe it was a tree destroyer, not a tunnel bore.

I also suspect that the tree growing is somehow involved in all this, but I'm not quite sure how. I just know that trees have been know to delete pipes, hence why all my tree farms are plumed in underground.

I've seen the frame machine get stuck too close to the tree, and the tree refused to grow until the machine moves far enough away. Also, it's way too big to be entirely overwritten (including the wireless receivers on the back) by a spruce tree. Those floating logs? I reckon the Block Breakers disappeared first, then the frames got stuck to the logs and pulled them back, and then the rest of it disappeared.

I'll check where the chunk boundary is tonight to see if it's a chunk edge problem but I'm sure the area is thoroughly chunkloaded with ChickenChunks.

And yes, it's a tree harvester so it only needs to go back and forth three steps, and it's shaped like a spruce tree because it harvests spruce trees.

Hm, chunk boundaries are nowhere near where it disappeared:

Only two blocks of the motor spur stick over a chunk boundary.
