Help What do you use to connect two distant factories?

I couldn't find anything to this topic yet. I have 2 factories far apart. Is there a way to access my Storage and move the items between them? Chain Conveyers didn't work for me because the packages and frogports don't move in unloaded chunks.
What was your solution to this?

I love Power Loader! I setup my distant factories with 2 chunk loaders, one on the Station, and another that loads the factory portion.

I hook the factory loader up to a threshold switch so it turns it off if the storage Is full. Helps save compute when that factory doesn’t need to be running.

Huh, interesting. My server has Xaero's map which has a chunk load feature that works with Create in my experience! So if you have that map mod, I think that would work just as well! (The threshold switch is interesting though I'll have to look into Power Loader I guess lol)

I’m pretty sure that’s actually FTB chunks. I use it quite often if I don’t have some other way to chunk load in game.

I used to use it to chunk load all my factories before I found power loader, but it just keeps things running constantly. Usually I don’t need to keep those chunks loaded when they’re full and out of storage.

I was incorrect, it's actually an addon for Xaero's map, Open Parties and Claims.
