*I am currently using the Mindcrack Pack.*

 

I am currently using two (stationary) trains as a decoration for my cart station, but after going to the Twilight Forest, they both despawned like they are entities. I could use a chunk loader of some kind, but I not wish to at all because I want to minimize the processing burden of my crappy computer. I know the Traincraft mod can be glitchy, but I didn't expect this to happen. I am not sure if the mod treats them as entities, or if there is just an error with my pack. Updating the pack may fix the problem, but I don't know. If the mod indeed treats them as entities, (perhaps because they are moving during normal circumstances?), I don't see why they have to despawn since some of them take quite the amount of materials.

 

I don't think it matters what trains I used, but for further details, I used the Forney (U.S.), and the Mogul (U.S.).

I've always wanted to mess with TrainCraft, but I always couldn't be bothered. xD

But I'm 99.9% sure they're entities, just like Minecarts and Tunnel Bores.

 

I don't think their despawning is intentional.

 

I sometimes do a tiny bit of modding (I'm definitely not a professional ) but sometimes there are things hidden somewhere in the Forge code when you're making something that you might want to say yes or no to.

 

For example, mDiyo (maker of Tinker's Construct) forgot to set the Hardness on his Stained Glass Panes, so they broke instantly. That happens A LOT in modding, because it's not compulsory to set the Hardness, and people just forget.

 

 

So, I'm sorry I don't really have a solution, but here is just some information I put out there, I guess.

I suppose I will use spot loaders then, only because I spend two hours designing the train station and I really don't want have to spend more time on it.  I understanding using a loader if the trains are moving, and if they go into an unloaded chunk, they stop moving... but completely despawning is silly to me.  I haven't used Minecarts in a long time, but I'm pretty sure they stay where they are and won't despawn completely... which I would hope the developer(s) of Traincraft added/will add to their trains to prevent utter evaporation of transportation.

In one of my games I had the trains somehow jump to caves above where they were supposed to be... I stopped using traincraft shortly after that.
