Implemented [Request] Mob Spawning in Compact Machines

Hey all,

I was just wondering if we could enable mob spawning in compact machines. I'm not sure if it is a setting or not but I was able to spawn stuff in my single player world with auto-spawners, which I can't on the server and it would be nice to be able to condense my spawning.

Many thanks,
Void

 

never thought of that. With needing an enderman and blaze spawner running just to keep the chunkloader fueled, this might be a good solution. I was hoping to avoid mob grinders, but 1 endereye gives me 3 min of chunkloading. Grinder will be needed

 

you can use some odd items to fuel them, have you tried Cobblestone, stone, Netherack?

 

No, i looked online and saw endeyes were the best fuel. A stack of cobble burns in 10 sec, and only keeps it on while there is cobble in it. So either a large cobblegen or spawners. Gonna go spawners first.

Enderman tend to leak out sometimes , hopefuly it wont be an issue

 

you can use 1 node to make 64 per sec..... =)
with upgrades of course
I think you can also pipe it in...

 

No idea what a node is, ill look into it. I used igneous extruders for cobble gen

 

Just as a heads up, I tried to spawn stuff in the compact machine but had no luck and it is not a config setting either. I don't think the admins can help us. If anyone figures out how to do this please post!

Thanks,
Void

 

since compact machines are always loaded, don't think it would be good idea to have mob spawns.

 

Extra utilites Item node with 64 World interactions in it.
Placed on a piece of cobblestone with lava on one side and water on the other, i can show you when i get on[DOUBLEPOST=1417143559,1417143534][/DOUBLEPOST]

From Compact Machines config
# Chunk Loading Mode: 0 = Never, 1 = Always, 2 = When machine is loaded [range: 0 ~ 2, default: 1]
I:chunkLoadingMode=1

You might want to set that to 2
