# Chunkload

**Use one of these methods to add a** [**Chunkload Requirement**](../../../recipes/requirements/chunkload) **to the recipe.**

```javascript
.chunkload()

.chunkload(radius)
```

* The `radius` param must be an integer between 1 and 32. Default to 1 if not specified.

### Example

This recipe will chunkload an area of 3x3 chunks around the machine in exchange of 10FE/t :&#x20;

```javascript
<recipetype:custommachinery:custom_machine>.create("custommachinery:dynamo", 1)
.chunkload(2)
.requireEnergyPerTick(10)
.build();
```
