Control program throw 'Java Exception' on Max Size Reactor #41

Closed JigglesTheFett closed 9 years ago

JigglesTheFett commented 9 years ago

Hello!

I have built a max size (32x32x48 I know, freaking huge) big reactor, with a checkerboard pattern of reactor control rods. I love your program, and it works fine with no problems on the 9x9x9 reactor I started here with. However, on the max size reactor every so often I'll notice that the monitor isn't displaying anything, and then I'll check the computer and it gives me a 'java exception' please press any key to continue. At this point I have to restart the Advanced Computer and the program starts back up immediately. Is this a known problem of any sort? Do I have too many reactor control rods? Is the reactor too big?

Hi Jiggles. As far as I am aware, the Big Reactors mod author has stated not to build cross-chunk boundary Big Reactors. Can you try building a 16x16x48 reactor (or taller) and see if that works without issue?

Actually, I managed to fix the problem earlier today. Apparently the program doesn't like monitors that are ~300 networking cables away in different chunks. Once the monitor was attached directly to the computer, the problem has stopped.

Thank you for checking, Jiggles, and finding the issue. :) I know mechaet was working on some wireless modem code, but that has no ETA for being put into the main code.

Oh, that would be amazing. Wireless Modems would make things so much simpler, especially when doing the Reactor+8 Turbines and wanting monitors for all of them :P
