I want it now XD
this would be really cool and would provide server owners with an actual system for pricing
It would also make the goal not to automate everything, but to make money
Oh I care about them. Its just your cost argument that I disagree with.
I gues my argument is realy that: In a server environment, where a chunkloader is always active, the power of a chunkloader is decided by the amount of automation one has. To the point where a single loaded chunk becomes the most powerfull thing to have(16x16x256 is a huge area). So powerfull that its impossible to put a balanced price tag on it. It would be huge, not even close to 160 RF/t or a few diamonds/gold. Its like the inverse of iron/enderpearls. In the beginning iron and enderpearls have a value because they are hard to get. But once you have a iron golem farm/Enderman farm in the end, the value of iron/enderpearls is gone. A chunkloader does the oposit, in the beginning a chunkloader isnt annything special, but once you have alot of automation it becomes the be all end all block of your base... For a very small 160 RF/t.
Dont get me wrong though, anny type of performance improvement is a plus. Bringing that as your argument to cheer for it I can understand and will happely make me cheer along with you
This is why I second the idea of hoping this loader can be used as a personal anchor only.
The idea of machines continuing to run because it doesn't make sense for them to stop when I leave makes think of the other view: why would the world continue running while I blink out of existence for... Well over night in real time is 16 minecraft days? To me it makes more sense that the machines stop when I cease to exist. Just like in Ssp.
Either way chunkloaders are fine, not saying they are bad, I just hope it has a feature to only work while a player is online.
I see your point but in SSP the machines cease to exist when you turn the game off too. But thats all academic really, the fact of the matter is that servers only have limited resources so it is probably better to devote them to players that are actually online (at least for large servers).
One of my favourite things about MFR machines is that most (perhaps all?) of them have very predictable redstone control. A high signal suppresses MFR machines. For obvious reasons you couldn't remotely turn on/off chunkloaders but it would be better than nothing if the loaders didn't stop working automatically when the player was offline.
Ahh with a player detector? That's awesome thank you I never thought of that.
Edit ok maybe that was not what you meant

Eh, it hardly matters at this point. Most 1.6x mods can be counted as stable and a lot of modders have stopped adding stuff to their mods beyond bug fixes, so even if all the modders move over we haven't lost anything. The 1.6 scene is rock solid and mostly bug free, or at least as bug free as Minecraft gets anyway. Perfectly fine platform to play on for the next 6 to 8 months before we get enough stable 1.7 mods to make a pack.
It'd be interesting to see, as it would mean that the first few players on a server would have it pretty hard, but then as more and more players played, it would get cheaper and cheaper.I want it now XD

He usually hangs around in #bloodmagic and #vazkii on espernet
And unrelated, i added a Chlorophyll Crystal that can be used in furnaces and such, you can literally run a boiler off of the life essence of plants \o/

I don't IRC
I'll message him on MCF when I get home from work in 10 hours if it's stable, I would like to add it to Horizons on Mondays update with the other things I'm adding.Nerpaderp. 1.7 apparently removed the need for item IDs so I can't wait to put together my own pack and not have to worry about IDs. They are the worst!
iPixeli just hinted at working on the Gender Option mod again on Twitter
I want to give @Lawbroken and @AgentTadpole boobs.

Well I can see some complaints made by certain groups there...

Oh... my... god... that is epic.
When it burns, does it leave you with some kind of empty crystal?He usually hangs around in #bloodmagic and #vazkii on espernet

Oh neat. How do you fill it up?
I believe you put a chlorophyll crystal in a totem of draining surrounded by any type of plant. If the plant has grown, it will "degrow" it and increase the essence of the crystal.
News *Cough* I have officially released the first version of my first Minecraft mod:
