Turtle Crash?!?

Why is it that when I log out of my server, or go too far away from my turtles they just turn off. I will leave my game with the turtles running set to mine 50000 meters or whatever, then I log out and log back in within seconds, and they've stopped working and turned off. This is the same with some computers too! I will have a gps host server running to serve gps requests, and then when everyone goes offline, they quit working and turn off. I would really like some answers as this is EXTREMELY irritating. If this is a bug please tell me so that I can post it in the bugs forum section, and if not please tell me what the issue is and how to solve it. Thanks!

it because when you exit, they become unloaded and turn off

ChunkLoading Block, part of Additional Pipes mod for BuildCraft. Basically, they load the chunk they're in. Place them around and you have an area that turtles can work in even when you're away.

But his turtle moves alongwaytogo
It seems only Dan200 can force chunks with comps/turtles keep loaded.

If you don't have full access to the server, yes.
