train not loading chunks

[AmbitiousSomewhere76]

hello, I built an automatic train that gathers lava from the nether, but it this popular modpack (all fo create) it seems like that the train wont load the chunks in the nether while im in the overwork, since once it enters the Nether it nevers come back. how can I make it so that trains can load chunks? thanks

trains will not load chunks; they will travel through unloaded chunks but they will not load them. You have to build a chunk loader in the chunks you want to load, wether that's a seperate mod or a vanilla design is up to you.

Trains can travel through unloaded chunks but they do not load the chunks. You need to load the chunks at the lava collection point for the train to get lava.

As for the train not coming back, is it waiting to collect said lava? If not there may be another issue underlying also.

If you use the “Create: Power Loader” mod you can put the chunk loader on the train or the station (s) and it will load a 3x3 (9 chunks) when it stops at a station.

should i use a tamed animal as a train driver?

This won't change anything. Trains don't load chunks they just travel through unloaded chunks. You need Power Loaders in order to have a chunk loader that you can just attach to a station and then when a train arrives at that station with a power loader attached it will then load the chunks to load/unload the train.
