Modding Help world.loadRegion() and world.loadUniqueEntity() not working

Hello there,just needed help with these two functions which I need for my mod. This is an automated farming machine that, when wired to helper, will till and water the land directly beneath it in between it and the helper. It will then plant and harvest crops as neccessary. I've tried using world.loadRegion first, but the moment I go to deep underground or beam up the Hello world stops. I've also put it in the log and it returns true, so trying a different route I tried to use the latter function but that didn't work too. What am I doing wrong? (P.S. No point putting in a .log file there are no errors that pop up into it)

Code:

function findHelper()
  local map = object.getInputNodeIds(0)
  if storage.found ~= "success" then
    for e,_ in pairs(map) do
      if world.entityName(e) == "farmerhelper" then
        storage.helper = e
        storage.found = "success"
        sb.logInfo("Found a helper!%s",storage.helper)
        break
      else
        sb.logInfo("No helper found")
      end       
    end
  end
end

function prepareEarth()
  if storage.helper ~= nil then
    local start = world.entityPosition(entity.id())
    local stop = world.entityPosition(storage.helper)
    --local test = world.material(stop,"foreground")
    --sb.logInfo("Its here %s",test)
    start[2] = start[2] - 1
    stop[2] = stop[2] - 1
    if start[1] > stop[1] then
      for i=start[1],stop[1],-1 do
        stop[1] = stop[1] + i
        if world.material({i,start[2]},"foreground") == "dirt" and world.mod({i,start[2]},"foreground") ~= "tilled" then
        --sb.logInfo("Placing")
          world.placeMod({i,start[2]},"foreground","tilled")
          else
          --sb.logInfo("Error")
        end
      end
      elseif stop[1] > start[1] then
      for i=stop[1],start[1],-1 do
        start[1] = start[1] + i
        if world.material({i,start[2]},"foreground") == "dirt" and world.mod({i,start[2]},"foreground") ~= "tilled" then
        --sb.logInfo("Placing")
          world.placeMod({i,start[2]},"foreground","tilled")

Edit: Apparently there is no way to load regions while on different planets

 

That's correct. What you can do though is record the time the chunk was unloaded or uninit() was called, then when it is reloaded you can compare the current time and do the math to see how many cycles should have passed.

 

The problem with that is, I'm trying to make a Factoriolike mod that overhauls the colony system so that colonists and assemblers need power and food. If I do something like that in order to have a steady supply of food I would need to make greenhouse objects that could continuously make produce since crops won't be harvested which kinda defeats the purpose of the auto farmer. But that will have to do, thank you again bk3k!!
