Is there a way to make sure my RP2 tunnel bore work after server restart?

[Harvest88]

I have a Chunkloader attached to it but when I restart the server it's just stop until I have to re visit it again. it'll bore though 1.8km per hour so that'll be not a option. So can some one please tell me if there a way to make it work despite after restarts? Idk why it even stop when the server restart as I know Chunkloaders don't need re visiting for them to work.

Here is a plan: Make a Wireless Network that, when triggered, activates your block breakers. That should reactivate your logic. If this fails, cheat in a portal frame. Then activate it.

Ahh okay I'll try that now. Should just need a wireless receiver and the other part that I forgot it's name is and hooked it up to a timer that "restart" the machine once per hour. Hope that'll work then my bore is golden.

I know a lot of people, myself included, will place a portal spawner on the tunnel bore itself rigged to be off at all times the bore is active. Makes it real easy to get back to it even after it runs for a few days.

So how do you use it? from installing it on the bore itself to using it to get back to it? Cause I can't get it to "restart" with the wireless redstone hooked up to a timer.

Easiest way is to look at direwolf20 on YouTube. He build them a lot. The videos will show you how to hook it up.

I use the following strategy:

I have a toggle latch with a wireless receiver on the input and a wireless transmitter on the output. This is my bore's primary on/off switch, and it resides in my base (not on the bore). Then, I have a portal frame at my base with a receiver matching the toggle latch's transmitter, which turns the portal on, and a button with a transmitter matching the toggle latch's receiver. A second matching portal frame is installed onto the bore frame and has the same pair of transmitter/receiver. Additionally, at the bore, the receiver powers the portal AND goes to my bore control system (in this case a computer). The computer's program pauses operations when it receives that signal, and that same signal opens the portal. And it goes without saying that the entire bore is permanently chunkloaded.

This basically means that I have a button next to each of the portals which can toggle the portal open and closed, and when the portal is open, the bore is off, and vice versa. It's very reliable.
