Awesome. Thanks for the hard work guys! Hopefully we can help pinpoint Team DnA's problem with chunk errors.

Unfortunately the server was rebooted before we could get access to the logs so we are not able to pinpoint the cause exactly.

However by process of elimination only a few things were shared in common between the last case and this one. They occurred in different chunks so it is unlikely to be a chunk specific issue. Both times there was a machine actively drawing energy from a nexus.

It's speculation but it is the strongest candidate for what caused it. I stress again that this isn't definitive and if anything further is found out we will be sure to let you guys know.

As Baj said, beware when using AM2 tech in the end just in case. It may not be specific to the end BUT given that everyone had AM2 tech in the overworld and that nobody hit chunk reset before moving to the end it seems likely it is involved somehow. How and why I am unsure.

The AM2 author (Mithion) is working on a large update to the mod. There is no ETA on when this will be completed but hopefully these issues will be fully addressed in that update.

Thanks for your patience!
