GingerLlama Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hello all, first post on this forum sorry if I post in the wrong place ! I'm a pretty new minecraft player (1 monthish) and even newer tekkit player (1 week) I have a server hosted by aim2game just for a few friends and myself So the problem I am having is after running a few standard sized quarries I decided to build a large one using landmarks now when I originally left this said quarry alone and went to bed it continued to dig it was great got down to layer 15 overnight. Now though, If I leave the server it stops and hasn't moved when I return and if go too far from the quarry it stops also. Not sure if this is a common problem, a server problem, a client problem or I'm just doing something wrong. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2048 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 This is a common mistake of new players. The reason that it stopped after you logged out is because of a Minecraft game mechanic that reduces the load on a server. The world is broken into 16 X 16 block sectors called "Chunks" and when those are loaded into the server memory it uses space, so to conserve space the server unloads them when a player gets out of range, or in your case, disconnects. All machines you have actively running or digging will cease. To solve this you need to build a block called a "Teleport Tether." To build it is just iron ingots around a piece of Lapis. Once you have crafted the teleport tether place it next to your quarry and it should keep it loaded and digging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerLlama Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Thanks alot seems to be working fine now, I had seen various parts about chunks but didn't really understand them. Thanks again. Edit: Does this also mean I will need multiple Teleport Tether's for a larger area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerLlama Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 I placed about 6 teleport tethers however it still seems to be a bit temperamental about running while I am not connected :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2048 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ensure you have your power generation in the chunk loading boundaries as well. If you press F9 and get to higher ground, it will show you all the chunks that are being affected by the teleport tethers outlined in blue.

GingerLlama Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Spot on all sorted, Thanks alot. Now to make a factory to automatically make solar panels haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industrial Miner Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I can do that with Logistics pipes in Singleplayer and with normal pipes in multiplayer. It requires lots of steps and resources to make one solar panel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
