Pipes? How do they work :s

[TehVampire]

Ok first of all... I didn't know where to post this :s

For my question... Am I correct if I say that you need to be in a certain radius of a pipe to work? If so what is the radius. And how do I get them to work in a server without being in the radius?

Any help or tips are much apreciated.

Are you talking about being in the certain chunk so they stay loaded?

[TehVampire]

Ow yeah, they are called chunks in MC, sorry :$

[Kyle2Boss]

Well regardless, just plop a chunkloader down, or a world anchor, That'll do the trick.

[TehVampire]

world anchors do not work in multiplayer, or at least thats what tekkit wiki says :s

EDIT: Trying it with Teleport Tether now ( ) Thanks for the tip :)

[freakachu]

world anchors do work in the current version of tekkit. either one will do the job though.

[TehVampire]

I seem to have the teleport tethers working now. The pipes keep going. However I now notice that there are pieces where the blocks disappear, any tips on how to fix that?

[TehVampire]

Hmm is there a way to check if a chunk is loaded permantly?

[Torezu]

With teleport tethers, F9 should display a chunk grid, with the loaded chunks surrounded in red with a blue box inside them, I think.

[TehVampire]

It seems that when I press F9 it displays a small red square with a larger blue sqaure, I take it that the red box is the center of the chunk and the the blue square displays the chunk. However it only shows 6 chunks a time. And it appears that though the teleport tethers are in all the required chunks they don't stay loaded :s Also I am getting a slight hunch that redstone generators can't stay loaded :s

EDIT: is it possible that it can't get loaded because I'm not OP? (Well it is my own server but I hate having OP powers because its a small server )

EDIT2: Whenever I press F9, I get an insane ammount of lag, and the players in the chunk too... Any clues on this?

[TehVampire]

Is it just display or is the max loaded chunks 15 by 15?

[TehVampire]

Bah I really don't get it anymore... redstone items and pipes don't seem to be affected by the Teleport Tether nor the World Anchor, everything else seems to be working (trees growing/wheat growing/animals growing/energy collectors and condensers) I got a pipe system from one village to another but I can't get it to work...

Try using RedPower tubes instead. Pipes are finicky when it comes to chunks loaded by a non-player block.

[TehVampire]

tubes or pipes? :p

[TehVampire]

Weird stuff... Tryed using TP pipes. TP pipes and teleport tether are both from aditional pipes add on. However the TP pipes don't recognize eachother meaning the chunks don't stay loaded...
