Hello,
I built a "mining machine" with Mining Wells (enchanted ones from the QuarryPlus-mod) and Funky Locomotion Frames.

(Aroma1997's Dimensional World)

Everything works fine, but I can't get a chunkloader working on the frames (from ChickenChunks or from Railcraft -> anchors). None of them work: The chunkloaders from ChickenChunks show in their settings: Radius: 0 Chunks (which is very strange, because it is manually not possible).

The anchors don't work either (I haven't tried the Admin Anchor yet), they leave behind a trail of chunkloaded areas (/chunkloaders), so that I have 100 forced chunks :(

The yellow points are Railcraft tickets.The mining machine is to the north of the blue point (me).
I also tried placing the chunkloaders directely onto the pushers/pullers (also onto both), but it didn't work.
Can you explain me/show me a picture how you chunkload your Funky Locomotion machines? And how can I prevent Railcraft from loading unnecessary chunks? THX
 
I've had this same problem. There is a bug with railcraft anchors that cause the chunks to stay loaded when the anchor is moved by funky locomotion. Soon, you'll run into the player loaded chunks limit, which also applies to chickenchunks. This is why the chickenchunks loader is showing 0 chunks loaded. You'll need to first find away to clear out the loaded chunks that are leftover from the railcraft anchors. Then:
  • Make another frame platform to follow behind your mining platform
  • Put a chunk loader (from chickenchunks) on each platform. This is necessary, as the chunkloader stops loading chunks while it's being moved
  • I usually keep a timer on the front edge of the follower platform, and keep a Redstone block on the back of the mining platform, where it will reset the timer each time the platforms touch. Then I set the timer to about half the delay that the main mining platform is set to.
  • Make sure to set the edges of both platforms that touch do not connect (shift right click frame block with a wrench)

After some testing, I managed to remove the loaded chunks and keep them unloaded with your method. Now everything is working and I got 50k Redstone in 2h! Thank you very much!
