Teleporters
Teleport items and yourself!
Item Teleporter
This device can teleport items up until a certain distance, the greater the distance the more power it costs per teleport. This is ideal in heavily congested areas where using belts and lifts just isn't going to work without refactoring a good portion of your factory. Below are some need to knows about the item teleporter.
They have a limited range.
They are connected to another item teleporter by using a wire tool.
You can link item teleporters as one way. So A -> B but B can go to C or no other teleporter.
Item Teleporters can only teleport items to other Item Teleporters.
These can be a burden to power grids so make sure to not over use them.
You need to have researched the item teleporter technology to assemble this device.
Elevator
This device is similar to the human teleporter, however it is locked to teleporting along the Y axis only. But this is a early tech and is a prerequisite for the Human Teleport. Here are some notes on the device.
It is limited to a 50 blocks range along the Y axis.
It can only connected to other Elevators that are on the same X/Z coordinate.
This device uses the same amount of power regardless of distance.
You can teleport down to a connected elevator by looking slightly down and hitting your swap key, by default this is the F key. You can do the same to go up!
Power wise this is cheaper to use then a Human Teleporter. So if you need to go up and down you would want to use this over the Human Teleporter.
Human Teleporter
This can teleporter humans vast distances. Its a good idea to use batteries with these. The greater the distance the more power it costs per teleport. This is ideal for getting to your outposts that gather resources that are far away. Below are some need to knows about the device.
They have a limit to their range, it is configurable per server. By default its 300 blocks, but admins can change this and make it infinite if they want.
You use the teleporter by hitting your swap key. By default this should be the F key.
These can be one way teleporters, so you can have A - > B, but B can go to c or no other teleporters.
You link a human teleporter to another using a wire tool.
Auto Collector
While this device doesn't move items vast distances, it can be useful for gathering dropped items. This can be used in a few ways, so here are some notes about it.
The top row of the auto collector is a filter. Placing a oak plank in it means that it will only pickup oak planks that are dropped nearby.
The range is configurable for the auto collector. Though this does not make it use more or less power.
You can use these to drop items anywhere in your factory to act as an early inventory management system. By clearing the items your don't need and having them work with movers and belts to bring the dropped items into your sorted or unsorted chest area for later use.
These do require a technology to unlock, but it is an early tech and these have a lot of utility.
These are very useful for auto logger farms, mobs farms and many vanilla farms.
