Typee Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 So, since railcraft is gone and dimensional anchors are bugged and incompatible with Mystcraft, my players and myself are looking for an alternative chunkloader, for loading distant oil pumps, the base and of course the nuclear reactor. Teleport tethers work fine but are limited to 1x1 chunks. Quarries do act as chunk loaders but putting quarries everywhere is a bit... backward. I believe I read about a fourth chunk loader in one of tekkit mod, but I can't remember which one. Is there such a thing? Quote
zarb Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 the teleport pipes bc addon has (had?) chunk loaders. I think it was called advanced bc pipes or something? upon looking into it, that bc addon hasnt been updated since 1.2, what a shame. there have been unofficial updates to it, but they are extremely unstable to put it mildly(!). Quote
Typee Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 They were probably killed by the phased transport pipes. I guess we will try and install chickenchunks then. Isn't there a forge server command to set a chunk as always loaded? Quote
Teraku Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Dimensional Anchors work just fine for me. They need to be loaded once before they keep stuff loaded. That's how Forge Chunkloading works. the teleport pipes bc addon has (had?) chunk loaders. I think it was called advanced bc pipes or something? upon looking into it, that bc addon hasnt been updated since 1.2, what a shame. there have been unofficial updates to it, but they are extremely unstable to put it mildly(!). Teleport Pipes have officially been added to Buildcraft as Phased pipes. Setting a frequency is less buggy now, and you can also make them either private or public, much like Ender Chests. You can't craft a "special" phased pipe back into a Phased Transport Pipe anymore, though. Quote
Typee Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 Dimensional Anchors work just fine for me. Try them in a Mystcraft world and you will get a "no chunckloading on client world" server crash on next startup. And even if you don't use them in Mystcraft worlds, they might cause the "exception in server tick loop" error, though I have no idea where this one comes from. As of now, there is no choice but disabling them. Quote
zarb Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Teleport Pipes have officially been added to Buildcraft as Phased pipes. Theres SO many things from the advanced bc pipes addon thats not available anymore tho. going by the amount of special pipes I placed, the teleport pipes might have actually been the least important ones to me. advanced wooden pipes and insertion pipes tho... those were truly amazing. well and the chunk loaders were also kinda neat (with the amazing lines it drew and everything) Quote

zarb Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 nah those were from http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/856360-125bc2214-bc315rev213rev310-additional-pipes-for-buildcraft-teleport-pipes/ Previously I didnt even have logistics pipes since it was SSP only before (mc) 1.3 came out Quote
Michael101 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Steve's carts also has a chunkloader module for carts. It loads 3x3 chunks centered on the cart, so cart based farms should stay loaded. Quote
Typee Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 Updating manually to dimensional anchor 52.1.4 fixed it. Quote
Nightshaft Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 The lite version has a chunk item addon. I dont know where to place it. Cant find some description how to use it when i use "google it" Picture. http://i.imgur.com/VR4Qzze.png Someone who knows how to place it? Quote
Teraku Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 It's for the Steve's Carts mod. You integrate it into a minecart of some sort. Quote
Jivaii Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Has anyone tried to load railcraft back into tekkit lite? CJ won't allow it into the main download, but what keeps us from loading it ourselves? Quote
danidas Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Has anyone tried to load railcraft back into tekkit lite? CJ won't allow it into the main download, but what keeps us from loading it ourselves? Nothing at all. Quote
Teraku Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Has anyone tried to load railcraft back into tekkit lite? CJ won't allow it into the main download, but what keeps us from loading it ourselves? Nothing. He's not like that GregTech guy. You can easily add Railcraft in yourself. Quote
Typee Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 Nothing. He's not like that GregTech guy. You can easily add Railcraft in yourself. Wait, you mean you can't install Gregtech on a tekkit lite pack? Quote
Teraku Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Wait, you mean you can't install Gregtech on a tekkit lite pack? Yup. The author is basically an arrogant asshole and doesn't want people playing his mod in Technic. Quote
Jivaii Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 You can install gregtech, but it requires a bit of work. No where near as bad as forestry was. Quote
Teraku Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 You can install gregtech, but it requires a bit of work. No where near as bad as forestry was. Forestry has only ever required a lot of work to install into Technic for a few days. And it's not particularly hard to install GregTech if you really, really wanted to grind your ass off for a Macerator. Just copy everything from modpack.jar into minecraft.jar, delete META-INF and copy everything to your .minecraft folder and use the Minecraft launcher. Quote
Jivaii Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Hmm, that would work, but sounds like work. =P Also, I said "was" on the forestry mod. I normally turn off some of the more insane recipes on GregTech, since they make either no sense or are not worth the effort of using. Quote
ninjafishnz Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 See the main problem i have with Rail craft being gone is the chunk loaders too. I'm trying to set up a tunnel bore but it just keeps unloading, even with teleport tethers. and of course the dimensional anchors crash the server whenever i place one on the frames... Does manually updating that mod fix it? Or is there any other way? (aside from teleport pipes, i like my ender chest. and I think minecarts with chunk loaders would fall off) Quote
Teraku Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Manually add Railcraft. Really, the Dimensional Anchor is the only Chunk Loader which works properly, and then it doesn't work on frames. Quote
ninjafishnz Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Actually, after tekkit lite updated dimensional anchors seemed to work fine, even on frames. So problem solved I guess thanks though :) Quote
