ლ(ಠ_ಠლ) damm mongroliens world anchors! Basically, world anchors and personal anchors are useless - which in turn renders a bunch of people's systems useless such as nether lava pumps and frame bores. I have two world anchors (Tried personal anchors too) - one in the overworld next to my multi-block lava tank, and one in the nether next to a lava pump. When I go in the nether, my overworld base unloads and my pump loads, pumping lava into thin air. When I leave the nether, that same pump unloads as I load the overworld... And Yes, I've fed them enderpearls and made sure they're on, I'm not stupid. I've also heard that they only work when the server has a high tickrate, but that almost never happens. People usually just AFK in place to keep their places loaded, which possibly uses more server resources than a chunk loader would. I know the mod Chicken Chunks has a more configurable chunk loader, but I don't know if it will be more reliable than the current ones (Railcraft?) that we have. Is this anything you plan on looking into, SK? It's EXTREMELY irritating to have no power because one block not functioning.
y u make nether pumps. it just ruins the landscape... just use the fking advanced and ultimate solars dude. seriously.
Wow, what a snarky reply, lol. Pumps exist for a reason alongside liquid tesseracts and even the broken chunk loaders. I'm not the only one with a nether pump, in fact a lot of people I know use them for power generation as they're efficient and easy to make early on. And it's not like the nether is a beautiful scene with nice landscape, there's nothing to "ruin" in my SECLUDED area. Lastly, I don't have the resources for advanced or ultimate solars anyways, so that's not happening even if I wanted to use them. This section is for reporting and working on problems, not for telling how you think I should play... I hope you were trolling.
Dave is the most snarky and ignorant person alive, so just ignore what he says. The whole reason World anchors don't work, is because sk's custom script to...I'm pretty sure it was unload chunks(my memory is bad in the morning.). Sk has said that he needs to make the script aware of the world anchors for them to work, because chunks loaded by them do count as player-loaded chunks.
