FAQ

How does sending/receiving actually work?

While it's convenient to talk about "sending" and "receiving," the way the teleporter actually works is by swapping the two container inventories. Everything that was in one container is now in the other one, and everything that was in that container is now in the first one. This means that if you carefully manage your teleporters you can send a full load of items each way during a single teleportation cycle.

I have too many planets. How can I fix the GUI?

Enable "Compact GUI" in the settings.

Why doesn't my teleporter work?

Check the following:

  • Make sure you have enough power. The teleporter consumes a lot! Also note that both sides need to be powered.
  • Make sure you have the Link ID set properly. Teleporters must have the same Link ID, or use one of the wildcard signals (like anything).
  • Make sure the two teleporters are the same quality.
  • If you're using a mod that adds beacon effects to a wide variety of entities, then teleporters are probably getting affected too, but they weren't designed to be affected by beacons. Make sure the teleporter is outside of a beacon's area.

If your teleports are failing and you don't understand why, you can enable "Debug mode" via a setting, which will dump additional information to the console that might help you. (Or help me help you!)

How can I control the teleporter with the circuit network?

Send a teleporter a planet signal (from the space tab) and the teleporter will attempt to start a teleportation cycle with a teleporter on the signaled planet.

Here's a simple example blueprint. It begins a teleportation to Vulcanus when the teleporter has >= 100 wood.
