[mojuave]

any way here to keep a chunk loaded constant while you go and explore?? this will be a benefit to automatic machinery you have set up

Pride... Is the greatest enemy... Of open source. There is a good signature phrase to show off.

As far as I know, what you are wishing for is just not possible currently, mojuave. There is a feature in Minetest known as LuaVoxelManip that might be useful to that end someday, however.

Open up another client and log in with a dummy player. Have him sit there while your machines work. Then you can do other stuff.
Haven't tested, but it sounds simple enough to work.

you COULD edit your minetest.conf file and increase the values in these 2 settings so that active blocks such as furnaces and Abm's work when you are further away from them:

active_object_send_range_blocks = 3
active_block_range = 2

I do remember there being a way with voxelmanip of force loading areas, I might make a mod which does something like that . (for admins and creative only though)

is there a trick to making it work?

You need the force load privilege, and you need to place the anchor block. Force load is given automatically in single player. See the mod's topic.

I did all that and I placed the blocks then left the area came back and my quarry wasn't running so do I need to turn it on somehow?

It should work. Look for error messages like 'force load failed'
