[Feature] Integration with CC:Tweaked for chunkloading turtles

[vico93]

Well, i'm using CC:Tweaked (Modrinth) (fork of ComputerCraft for modern MC versions) for a long time, but unfortunately natively the turtles (mod robots) cannot keep the chunks they are in or the ones that they are heading to.

Since i really liked your mod (for me its the most vanilla-like chunkloading mods out there) my suggestion is to make an integration with CC:T's API to allow the chunkloader blocks to be equippable on turtles to keep them loading the chunks they are in (in case of single-block chunkloader) or the radius of the respective equipped chunkloader block.

Here's the relevant CC:T api: https://tweaked.cc/mc-1.19.x/javadoc/dan200/computercraft/api/turtle/TurtleUpgradeSerialiser.html

Any feedback about this?

bump, being supported by turtles would be a huge QoL feature for CC:T users.

Er... @SuperMartijn642 any chance this will be added to the queue for a future update?

Adding something like this would require a lot of work, since it is rather incompatible with the way Chunk Loaders currently works. I don't think that effort is particularly worth it for something most people won't ever use.

I have a lot of other mods and even other stuff for Chunk Loaders I would rather work on. Why not ask CC: Tweaked for something like this? I feel like it fits better with their mod instead of me doing a lot of work to integrate with their classes.

Unfortunately not allowing turtles to keep chunks loaded is a design choice by @SquidDev if i'm not mistaken, so only with addon mods (or other mods implementing it using CC:T API) it can be achieved.

The concept of turtles keeping chunks loaded is not new and i feel the use case of it would not be zero. There is some large addon mods for CC:T that implements such feature, but its only one feature alongside a myrad of stuff added. So i tried my luck talking with you because, since its only a mod dedicated to chunkloading it would make sense to have an extension to permit turtles to equip the chunk loader blocks.

im a cc: tweaks user here. chunk loading is definitely something a lot of cc: tweaks people would love to use. its just unfortunate that there doesn't exist a mod to integrate chunkloading with turtles
