Posting here first, just in case anyone in the community has encountered this.

Starting this weekend, we have been finding that Item Ducts just seem to have stopped "working".
In one situation, a redstone furnace connected to a chest by a duct, smelted items never arrive at the chest, the only possible destination. After a server reboot, the items then arrive.
In another, mob drops are sent to a series of barrels for the common stuff, and then a chest with a restricted duct for everything else. Found the common drops were appearing in the chest. Rebooting again solved the issue.
Another player has also lost some magical crop seeds, they never arrived at the MFR planter, rebooting did not help.
The same player has also noticed that power through conduits has not been reliable too. Said player has had to switch over to Mek pipes/power lines which are behaving

I've also noticed the server CPU is bouncing around like crazy, where before CPU load has been steady.

I've tried undoing some of the recent builds this weekend, in case of conflicts to try and track down the problem, no joy.

Has anyone experienced this, or have any advise on tracking down the true source of the problem? It might be the CPU issue is affecting Thermal Expansion, so need to identify the CPU problem.

TIA

I have been experiencing the same problems. Both item ducts (not sending), fluid ducts(not sending, not liking 6 way connections) and conduits missbehaving (not sending power). I am currently playing TPPI wich is still on version 3.0.0.2, so that might be the problem (as well as cross mod interactions, possibly). What version are you on?

I've had this problem on Horizons. It happened when I took out my chunkloader and left the chunk, then came back and replaced the chunkloader(Was diagnosing lag). I fixed it by wrenching/removing the offending ducts.

Latest version 3.0.0.7.

Hmm, might be chunkloading. No one is using any yet (resource poor and more expensive recipes pack, taken a long time just to get the basics up, and a good defense)
