This is the FUTURE!

Who needs Minecarts, long walkways or a speedy Quantum Suit, if you can harness the ultimate technology of TELEPORTING right to wherever you want?

Teleporters are highly-complex, super-modern pieces of extremely-hayoish-awesome technology, capable of teleporting an infinite number of objects, excluding solid matter in form of blocks, to another Teleporter.

However, we recommend buying a whole bunch of our sweet and cheap generator products, otherwise you WILL not be able to power the Teleporters sufficiently:

Usage:

1. Place the Teleporter directly adjacent to a power storage unit such as an MFS Unit, or even a couple.

2. Use a FreqTrans to link one Teleporter to another.

3. Wire Redstone to the Teleporter.

4. Activate the Redstone.

If you have enough power in contiguous storage units, the power will be drained and you will be instantly teleported to the connected Teleporter.

Linking Teleporters

Linking Teleporters is as easy as 1,2,3

1. while holding a FreqTrans right-click on the first Teleporter.
2. repeat for the second Teleporter.
3. GO TELEPORTING. HEYO!

Power Costs

The power used by the Teleporter depends on a combination of what is being teleported and how far.

Formulas and Values

Animal weight: 100

Mob weight: 500

Player weight: 1000 + (100 per worn armor piece) + (100 per full item stack)

• Worst case player weight: 1000 + 4 * 100 + 4 * 9 * 100 = 5000

Energy cost: Floor(Floor(Weight) * (Floor(Distance) + 10)^0.7 * 5)

• Maximum distance, worst case weight, 5 fully charged MFSU: ~51960

Energy Cost Example

Teleporting a player with only chest armor, boots, 64 cobblestone, 20 dirt, and 10 eggs for 15 distance.

Base cost: 1000

Armor cost: Chest(100) + Boots(100)

Inventory cost: Cobblestone(100 * 64/64) + Dirt(100 * 20/64) + Eggs(100 * 10/16) = 193.75

Player weight: 1000 + 200 + 193.75 = 1393.75

Total: Floor(Floor(1393.75) * (15 + 10)^0.7 * 5) = 66294 EU

As you can see, the power requirements easily exceed even HV Cable, which is why a cable connection is insufficient. Although, an HV Cable might be sufficient for teleporting animals short distances (untested).

Distance Calculation

Distances are calculated in Euclidean meters.

Distance = sqrt( (dx)^2 + (dy)^2 + (dz)^2 )

dx, dy, and dz are distances in the x, y, and z directions, respectively.

Distance Example

If you place a teleporter at (10,50,-20) and another at (30,15,-60)

dx = 30-10 = 20

dy = 15-50 = -35

dz = (-60)-(-20) = -40

Distance = sqrt ( 20^2 + (-35)^2 + (-40)^2 ) = 56.78908

Energy Storage Devices

Energy will be drained from adjacent energy storage devices simultaneously. Equal amounts of energy will be drained from adjacent devices if there are enough energy. If three energy devices are adjacent 33.33% of the energy will be drained from each.

All types of energy storage can be used BatBox, MFE and MFSU.

Other Notes:

Teleporters can explode if you leave and reload a world without quitting Minecraft.

Other mods like TMI (Too Many Items) can interfere with IC2. Specifically Frequency Transmitters when setting up Teleporters. This bug often makes Frequency Transmitters get stuck on the first Teleporter when linking two Teleporters. Afterwards it is not possible to unlink from the first Teleporter and all other connections made will link to the first Teleporter.

Teleporters can teleport players that are standing one block above the teleporter. This makes it possible to place a storage device on all 6 sides. It also makes it possible to camouflage teleporters under the ground.
