Not too long ago I put together a giant amount of mods to play with and one of them is project red. Now I'm pretty advanced techwise, and I decided to finally make some kind of teleporter from my home to my quarry. After a bit of searching I found that the Blood Magic teleposer would be ideal, but when I searched in NEI I found that project red also has a teleposer. I wanted to find out what it does exactly and stuff, but there's nothing on the internet about project red. There's a wiki that's severly outdated and empty, and the FTB and other modpack wikis are also outdated, just not by that much.

So after the long introduction my question is: is there any info on project red stuff or is it a mystery to everyone?

There's a lot of it but nothing regarding the newest additions.
My guess would be that it's supposed to be a rendition of RedPower 2's transposer but don't quote me on that.

Teleporter, teleposer, and transposer. Similar words, yes. But not the same. Pretty sure RP's transposer was for putting liquids into the world. And not sure if the blood magic thing works on players. Probably. But Id go with Enhanced Portals, RFtools or Portal gun, myself.

My problem with the Portal gun is that it's only a single pair of portals. I do have multiple guns but because they're not a machine or structure I feel like they're just temporary and I don't want to use it like a permanent transport. The Blood Magic teleposer definitely works on players too, at least that's what I read on one of the wikis, but I'll test it later just to be sure. I'm gonna look into how exactly Enhanced Portals work, and what RFtools has for transportation, because I do have both installed.

RFTools is the best, but just for information's sake, you can set up a block form of Portal Gun portals. Just look through the list of blocks for the mod in NEI, I forget the name. :)

I think you're talking about the wall mounted portal things, but if I remember right they're connected to the gun. Anyway in the end I did use the rftools way, and I ended up changing the quarry's power source the main energy cell instead of an auxiliary almost self-sufficient power generation, just to be sure the quarry side of things is also getting power always

You can use the wall things without having the guns themselves. ;)
They're expensive as all get out, though... But you are now *that* much closer to knowing everything. :D

No the transposer was the wooden pipe of RedPowers tube system.
I thought that maybe it was an attempt at naming it originally but still make it familiar.
But now that I think about it that makes no sense.

RedPower had a block called a grate for placing liquid blocks from one location to another.

Well, yeah you can uase them without the gun, but I think it's still the same pair of portals as the gun. So if you open a pair of portals with the wall things, then shoot one with the gun somewhere it will replace the one on the one of wall portals.

Which can naturally be insanely handy for a home portal. Activate a wireless transmitter, and open the home portal, and step through the gun portal.

On the other hand, since you can set the wall portals, you could just carry a gun that doesn't match them with you.
