mining machine confermation

[joe5]

hi,

after the utter and complete faler of my previous mining machines I have created a mining machine which does not need a moving head in order to function. in principle this is great, as it allows me to use only one inchworm drive and the machine never gets stuck. however, while it never gets stuck it simply stops working when I am not nearby.

I have implemented both a rolling chunkloader and a frame based chunckloading modual. but at the moment I am unclear on wheather they are having any effect.

has anyone succeed in creating a chunckloaded mining machine that functions when people are not in the area? if so, how?

if not, has anyone given it a shot and figured out why it is not working?
