So I have 3 soul shard t5 blaze farms running. When I go offline they stop spawning and killing the blazes. I have the area loaded with a chunkloader...is this intentional? Am I doing something wrong?

Help is appreciated, my boiler is hungry

Is it possible that you are using RailCraft's World Anchors, therefore meaning you will need to supply them with enderpearls to work? (this CAN be changed in the railcraft config) If you are using some other method like the ChunkLoader from ChickenChunks, I'm not quite sure what could be causing your issue. If it is a problem to keep the boiler fueled, you could always think about just burning the blaze rods in a generator for EU, then using electrical engines for your MJ production...Just a thought, although steam boilers are certainly the way to go if you have the means of keeping them fueled. Best of luck!

If you are using turtles to kill them, rename the program to "startup" if it's a water or suffocation trap, I have no clue

Wait. I think I know the issue. Don't monsters instantly despawn if there's no player within 128 blocks, so if you're logged off, there's no one within 128 blocks? For whatever reason, I seem to remember soulshards don't work unless you're <128 metres away.

I had thought that Soul Shard (at least the T5 ones) were supposed to work even without the player needing to be nearby? Kind of the draw to it, besides the control you gain and the speed of them. I could be mistaken, however. I often am.

If you're offline then the game isn't running. Therefore the chunk loader isn't running.

As pointed out they are still spwaning while your not around but unless you can kill them before the next tick they just depawn since no player is within 128 blocks.

That most likely is your core issue. Not that the teir5 dont work while your not there but that they are despawning before you can kill them.

my friend had the same issue on his server.

My T5 spawners still work even when no one is on the server. I have a chunk loader at my spawner farm.
