Verify Chunky can continue its task after a planned server restart

A saved pregeneration task should be checked before maintenance, not rediscovered afterward. Chunky’s pause and continue controls let you make the handover explicit. Test a modest task once so you know how your installed release handles startup and persisted progress.
Work through the change
Record the running task’s world, bounds and completion count. Pause that world with the documented control and wait for the paused state to appear in the console.
Create the usual recoverable checkpoint of configuration and task data with the world save. Review the installed auto-continuation behaviour so maintenance does not unexpectedly restart heavy generation during peak play.
Perform the planned normal server restart and watch startup logs for Chunky loading errors. Check task status before issuing any new start command or changing the selection.
Continue the saved world task when capacity is available. Compare its identity and bounds with the maintenance notes, then monitor a fresh progress interval to confirm it is doing work.
Check the result
The resumed job should retain the planned area and recognise completed work according to the installed release. Confirm normal player access as well as generation progress. A server that starts successfully but silently resumes several heavy tasks may still need its startup policy adjusted.
Include the restart time in the progress notes. That distinguishes a resumed saved task from a newly submitted job when several administrators are reviewing the same console later.
Recover or stop safely
If progress is absent, preserve the current files and compare them with the checkpoint before making changes. Do not overwrite task state with a new job as the first diagnostic action. Previously generated chunks remain valuable world data even if a progress record needs separate recovery.
