Teleport Tether

The Teleport Tether is part of Additional Pipes and has the ability to keep the chunk that it is in loaded. As long as somebody is logged in, this keeps your machines running even when you are not logged in (SMP), as well as when you are far away from your machines.

This block was formerly known as the ChunkLoading Block (renamed to Teleport Tether in April 15, 2012 update of AdditionalPipes )

It's EMC value is 728 per block. ((8 * 256 (Iron) + 1 * 864 (Lapis Lazuli))/4)

The construction is very easy, place it near any block you wish to keep loaded while you are away. Every machine, pipe or farm in a range of 16x16 will be kept in the server memory, and kept active, as long as there is someone active on the server.

A World Anchor has the same function, but will keep a bigger area loaded (3x3 chunks). In terms of EMC, the Teleport Tether is 18216 EMC cheaper for the same area (1 World Anchor or 9 Teleport Tethers)
