Are you sure the monitor was a machine? I could have sworn I remember somebody using it in a mod and they were saying it was scenery...

That may be because there is a little easter egg with the moniter, when you stay in a specific spot the monitor doesn't move.

Look into the mach tag meta, maybe setting the type to "platform" instead of gear, or change the power transition time, also it could be in the functions too.

In the palette there should not be more than once the same machine.
You add your mapchien to the palette if it's not already.

Then you clone chunks in the machine Placement.
