    So, for some reason Grid Power producing machines aren't staying loaded anymore, which is very frustrating because they used to work fine before. And honestly, I don't wanna hear "just place a chunkloader bro" I'd rather not use my tickets to chunkload something that was already working before... :/

    Are you sure the machines are still working? They should produce regardless of chunk loading status.

    I have an angel ring, and as I fly away from my home, it drops me out of the air. same happens if I attempt to fly in another dimension.

    I can do some testing this weekend to see what's going on. Do you share gridpower or use upgrades that require grid power? I know I've been guilty of using more GP than I realized I had :(

    well, an egg mill produces 500 GP, and the angel ring only uses 32. and I have literally nothing in my base that even uses GP xD
    [doublepost=1506697590][/doublepost]well, aside from the resonator. but that isn't active.

    Gotcha. Wasn't sure if you had base mates. At one point we were using 3 dragon mills to power everything and everyone lol. Either way, I'll do some testing this weekend and keep you posted.

    Just out of interest, does this happen with all GP producers?

    odd, it seems the GP is being produced when I'm away from the house now. very strange.
    [doublepost=1506810282][/doublepost]nevermind. it just stopped out of nowhere.

    After some testing, I got the same results with the solar panels, dragon egg mills, and Actually Additions watermills; so I did some research. It looks like EU2 was updated to 1.5.2 on our Beyond server. Looking at the mod update changelog, it states: "Disabled unloaded chunk tracking of GP sources" which would explain what is happening. Since other mods pull from EU2 for GP, it makes sense that the AA watermills also do not work, if it's not chunk loaded. I hope this helps. Since this was intended by the mod author and since there is nothing further that can be done on our part, I will go ahead and close this thread.
