Description

Probably more of a feature request here. It seems odd that a compact machine, designed to be placed in the world, doesn't have chunkloading once you leave it.

It was pointed out to me that this was an intentional decision because folks in multiplayer could abuse compact machines. I agree with the principle, but it seems like the behavior change is odd to have as a default.

Suggestion 1: Automatically chunkload all compact machines, possibly gated behind an option in config.

• This has the advantage of parity with 1.16.5 or earlier (if I remember correctly) - I found it very confusing when suddenly my machine wasn't working after I left it.
• The disadvantage, of course, is that if it's not an option, it leaves the abuse loophole open.

Suggestion 2: Have compact machines inherit the chunkloading setting of the chunk where the single block resides.

• This has the advantage of being fairly transparent - if you're chunkloading your base, the machines in the base work as expected. If you're not, you shouldn't expect the compact machine to work either.
• The disadvantage (in my mind) is that it still leaves routes for abuse, but I assume a server admin could nuke a single chunk a lot more easily than some jerk placing random machines all over the world. :p

How to reproduce

Pretty much as described. Make a compact machine, do something automated in it, leave the machine, and then yell "Y U NO WORK" at it.

Я установил внутри каждой машины маленький загрузчик 1 чанка из мода ChickenChunks. И это, кажется, работает.

I installed a small 1 chunk loader from the ChickenChunks mod inside each machine. And it seems to work.

Could also add an option to only chunk load a room if the owner is online AND the world chunk where the block is located in is loaded.

This is planned to be added as a new room upgrade, likely in the 21.1 (CM7) lifecycle. The upgrade will be applied directly to rooms, keeping them loaded at all times (machine blocks loaded or not).

I'll still say that there should be a way to do it without requiring upgrades, mimicking the functionality of versions past. :)

Está previsto que esto se agregue como una nueva mejora de sala, probablemente en el ciclo de vida de la versión 21.1 (CM7). La mejora se aplicará directamente a las salas, manteniéndolas cargadas en todo momento (bloques de máquina cargados o no).

Cm6 please add

The behavior I'm looking for is definitely to load the machine chunk if the world chunk containing the machine block is located. I think this is how it used to work, but now machines only load if the interior is manually loaded, which makes them inconsistent with other machine behavior.

This nature of chunkloading is incompatible with future plans - you can have multiple machine blocks tied to a single room, and in CM8 this will become available to survival players. This is why there is a new chunkloading room upgrade that you apply to the room, not individual machines.
