Chicken Chunks' Chunk Loaders

[Nickmaz]

hey guys, my chunk loaders arent working. im using these mods........http://pastebin.com/VxNSkeNb. I have a blaze trap from soul shards about 600 m from my base = http://imgur.com/dK1d2vk its feeding into an item tesseract from thermal expansion, and i know the tesseracts are working correctly, because when i stand near the blaze trap and then return to my base, there are more blaze rods in the chest than before. but when im standing at my base, no blaze rods come through. whenever i go through my portal gun portal (which should also act as a chunk loader but isnt), the chunks have to re-load, which having that chunk loader there, should not happen. They should already be loaded and the blaze trap should still be running. why isnt the chunk loader actually doing its job? is it conflicting with another mod? do i need to update something? is there a config file im missing? btw this is on my server. thanks guys

That's not so much a chunkloader issue as a Spawner issue. it's been discussed at length here before.

Even with the soul shard spawners, vanilla mechanics persist so if nobody is within 256blocks of a mob , it despawns shortly after spawning. A new version of soul shards supposedly has some tricks in-place to fix this, but it's not released in the packs yet.

well no, thats not really the problem. the problem is the area is still getting unloaded even if the chunkloader is there. i'll teleport back to see a blaze rod, in the same place in my piping system as it was when i left

hrm.. In the Minimap you can turn on chunk boundaries, or use the Chunkloader itself to turn on Lasers, just to verify that everything is inside the loaded chunks. I've had issues occasionaly where a pipe exits the chunkloaded zone to route around something, and becomes a blocker for passing items.

Is this DW20 or Mindcrack?

ive made sure that its all inside the lasers. i even have a chunkloader in my actual base, and when i go back through my portal gun portal from the spawner to my base, the chunks are visibly unloaded and have to load again. mindcrack pack version 8.0.1. i thought at first that there might be something wrong with the configs, but they all seem fine. idk if i need to update forge or something either.
