C2ME Enhanced save option & pre-1.18 world save behaviour conflicts with Deep Drilling

[EvieTheOwl]

What happens

• Deep Drilling blocks such as the drills disappear occasionally after a user exits the chunks they're contained in.
• Doesn't happen when the server defaults to vanilla saving mechanics whereby the game saves a little each tick. This unfortunately is quite inefficient.
• C2ME by comparison saves at intervals of about every 5 minutes when spare ticking time is available which is a lot better but seems to cause conflicts with Deep Drilling specifically. The same happens when defaulting to pre 1.18 world saving behaviour.

How to prevent this

• Not sure entirely but since the issue is world saving it makes sense to prevent it to turn off all drills and wait a couple of seconds before existing the area to let the world save properly.

How to fix?

• Not sure but we can look at what happens when the drill is running and how leaving a chunk quickly and re-entering again affects this

How to reproduce

• turn on C2MEs ENHANCED world saves. Ideally set to a longer interval value such as 5 minutes in ticks to test this theory fully.
• Build a drill
• Move out of the area using a nether portal to do so quickly
• Return and see what happens
• It happens irregularly but enough that it can be a real problem when people come to visit the nodes

Also this is kind of unrelated but we've been using ur mod on the official Steam 'n' rails SMP for over a year now despite this issue so we really do like it a lot.

Idk if u have any plans for Neoforge 1.21.1 but if u do we would love to hear.

Wow! What a horrifying issue!
(is it all blocks, like the core and modules, or just drill heads? those have durability and need replacement over time)

Also I'm glad that the mod is enjoyable.. I do want to port to 1.21, create update 6 when I have the time and motivation

It seemed like a rollback. It isn't just the drills connected blocks would also dissapear and the contents of chests would change or get reset or duplicated. It's just the chunks near the drill though nothing else would get rolled back.

Yeah the players have really enjoyed it a lot. We split the server into nations and placed the nodes manually. This was one of the first designs and they only got larger and more efficient.

If u want any help with porting we're very interested :3. We have a lot of time before we launch a new server, I think about 8 months.
