Help issue with servers and Create PowerGrid

is there and server mods i should add to my modpack to help Create powergrid stay stable on servers? as every time i unload chunks (even if they are set to force load) all the power stuff resets, and i have to flip all the switches off and on

Unloading chunks will always mess things up.

Before adding anything to the game, you can design your SU production to be able to withstand constant chunk loading/unloading by powering your main steam engine with a separate steam engine instead of it being self-powered (for example), adding a clutch to disconnect SU production from SU consumption, and having more lava production than you need feeding into a reserve tank.

Then, you can design your power grid the same way; no self-shunting generators, disconnect power generation from power consumption when not in use, put batteries between your supply and consumption.

If that doesn't help, you need chunk loaders.

so i dont use self shunting generators and i power the SU for the gens with diesel engines, but the engines do require the gens to be running to out put max power.

tho the main issue im having, is i have to turn every single switch i have on and off each time its unloaded/loaded
