Virgin Birth Bees (duping issue)

[KellyLynch]

I occasionally have problems with disappearing bees, but today when I logged in, I had hordes of duplicated bees ... over 120, probably (won't have final count until i go through tonight cleaning up the mess).

My setup: each of my bee cells is 2x3x2, with an expanded advanced hive on the 2 wide wall. each had 3 bees, with three different types of bees. I also have some breeding cells, that have no hive available.

In the bee hive ones is where i found all the dupes, so this seems to be tied to the adv. hives.

To give a specific example, I had one cell with one Imperium bee (std) and one Insanium bee (maxxed out stats through dna treats). When I logged in today, I have two Imperium and six! Insanium bees. All the Insanium bees are max statted (Very Productive/Metaturnal/etc).

running on ATM7 0.4.14 (official patreon server), which is currently on productivebees-1.18.2-0.9.0.5

Not messed up at all, I set up a server yesterday and did a test myself and confirmed what needed to be confirmed. Why some servers don't shut down properly I don't know. It could be a thread that hangs. In any case, once a server doesn't shut down properly it's guaranteed to affect force loaded areas.

Ok, for sure our server shuts down wrong. Easy to get around by just going offline before the failed shutdown, I assume the chunks are saved when they are unloaded. The problem is, our FTBChunks is keeping any force-loaded chunks (and one chunk outside that chunk) loaded while offline, so even going offline doesn't resolve the issue. This is what has made testing for me nearly impossible. I have moved bases and set myself up so that my bees are now outside the offline chunkloading space and should save properly when I go offline before resets. I will test and let you know the results, but I expect they will behave properly. (Fingers crossed)

saw someone mention the chunk loading issue and their suggestion was

deleting the "chunks.dat" file before a reboot helped keep chunks unloaded that were supposed to be unloaded

[JaisDK]

closing this one now

the issue is servers shutting down incorrectly and not saving the chunks properly chunkloaded bees are more affected because they are always loaded when the server closes incorrectly

to prevent the issue (if the server can't be fixed) use simulated hives
