Usage: on the ground
When placed on the ground, chunk loaders require rotational power to function, but the loading range is configurable and their effects can be easily toggled by controlling the rotational power input.
Kinetic Stress Impact: 16x RPM
Speed Requirement
Speed requirement is the same for both tiers of chunk loaders, but the andesite loader only supports loading a single chunk.
| Loading range | Speed requirement | Minimum stress impact |
|---|---|---|
| 1x1 | 60 RPM | 960 su |
| 3x3 | 120 RPM | 1920 su |
| 5x5 | 240 RPM | 3840 su |
The speed requirement is configurable in Power Loader's server config as a multiple of the default requirements listed above. The base value follows the MEDIUM speed requirement in Create's config.
You can easily integrate chunk loaders with redstone to read their status and deactivate them automatically.
Chunk loaders report their status via a comparator output:
To deactivate a chunk loader, cut off its rotational power supply with a clutch:
When a chunk loader loses its rotational power supply, there is a configurable delay, called the unloading grace period, before the chunks are unloaded. This gives your network a chance to recover in case the deactivation was not intentional. During this period, comparator output from the chunk loader is 0, but chunks are still loaded. As long as rotational power is restored during this period, chunk loading will not be interrupted.
