Chunk Loader That Will Work With Frames

[DZCreeper]

I built 2 tunnel bores out of frames. They automatically get blutric power from fresh batteries using enderchests. The items are put into a sorting system which is fool proof, even if it has to void every bit of overflow. I have an unlimited supply of enderpearls. I send these to the bores and use managers to keep world anchors stocked with 16 pearls. Yet for some reason the anchors stop working once I leave the area, and the bore stops working. So, I ask you this.

Which, if any chunk loaders in MindCrack V8 will work with frames and load chunks that the bore is in?

The machines are in the overworld and the chunks must be loaded on startup. I am willing to add a mod if it adds such a loader.

The Railcraft world anchors should work. I used one on mine and only had a problem when a volcano "erupted" in the middle of it.

EDIT: is this single player or on a server?

The anchor will stop working when a frame moves it. You will need two anchors, and attach them so that whenever one moves, the other one is stationary.

World Anchors seem to work properly on frames, according to my frame tunnel bore that stopped working when I wasn't around, until I replaced the ChickenChunks chunkloader with a world anchor. However, if those still don't work for you, you could try anchor carts. Not sure how easily you could load enderpearls into those automatically, though.

From experience: World anchors DO work, but they'll mess up eventually if you only use one on your bore. They tend to mess up on chunk boundaries, but not frequently. I let my bore run for thousands of blocks before it finally broke. As was suggested earlier in the thread, two world anchors would definitely work, and an anchor cart would probably work even better.

This is on a server. I will try using a chunk loader cart. Should just have to place a loader above the cart and set it to keep 16 pearls stocked. For some reason the 1 stationary world anchor would mess up every time I left the area.

The cart works great. It also made my setup use less blutric power because I was able to remove the managers. I just have a anchor cart sitting on a rail with an advanced item loader above it. I set it to make sure 16 pearls are stocked. It just pulls from the enderchest sitting above it automatically.

World Anchors don't work if supplied with a Redstone Signal. Make sure that nothing touching them generates one. Even though Redstone Wire doesn't seem to connect to them, put cover strips along them to ensure that it doesn't connect.

 

[DZCreeper]

That was my problem, the manager that was keeping it stocked with pearls was sitting directly above it. I learned that managers output a redstone signal when satisfied.

Sorting system stops outputting stuff from bores after I leave the bores.
Cue me ripping 1 of the machines apart, rage quitting.

I come back after a quick bite to eat, and go into a creative world and carefully replicate the entire bore. Last thing I place down is the chunk loaders. The only difference between this and my old bores was that I left the managers out. I derped and placed a piece of red alloy wire beside the chunk loaders. I notice the pearl on the loader turns red, and my desk gains a new imprint of my forehead.
