Security permissions break connections

[thatsIch]

Issue to summarize the issue regarding security permissions:

• while chunks load into existing networks, there can be race conditions, where the "new" network will not be accepted into the main network
• this results into breaking the border connection
• depending on servers and mods, there can be rapid loading and unloadings of chunks

Temporary fix:

• chunk-load the entire network
• insert a blank permission (master permission for everybody)

Feel free to edit this, if anything was incorrect or incomplete

blank did not help

Any idea why the CableBusContainer is using a ThreadLocal<Boolean>?

[thatsIch]

no, a private static boolean should suffice imo.

Just being curious:
as the break happens because ae2 security drop doesn't know who placed the cable that just appeared out of nowhere (new junk was loaded) could this be circumvented by placing an additional security terminal in every chunk that isn't permanently chunk-loaded so ae2 can see
"Hey this cable belongs to another network with a security terminal that was placed by the same user as this network, let's connect!"

Closing, as this can easily be caused by the TE/chunk corruption bugs in forge, which exist since 1.7.10 or maybe earlier.

Good to know that this issue is being ignored despite it still being very much active as of now

cannot even play because its kicking out error popups over the top of the screen.
