Is this the proper use for the send/receive Tess functionality?

[Juanitierno]

Hello!

ive always used tesseracts with tanks with 2 frequencies. Its always been:
producer -> [tess on send only FREQ 1] -> [tess on recv only FREQ 1] -> tank -> [tess on send only FREQ 2] -> [tess on recv only FREQ 2] -> consumer.

ive always done it like that because im afraid hooking up a send/recv tesseract to the same tank will cause an infinite loop of liquid, but then why is there a send/recv setting on the device?

This time i decided to give it a go and set it up this way (Using a single frequency, and with only 3 tess, one on the producer with send only, the one on the tank with send/recv, and the last one on the consumer with a recv only):

Is that the correct way to use it?

Bump?

Thats the way I've always used them as well. Can't actually think of a time where I've left it on Send\Receive. Maybe on an item tesseract on a random quarry...

That's the way I use them, because the thing is, the send/recieve tesseract cannot send to itself
So, you don't get an infinite loop of fluid flowing out of a tank and then back in again.

My set-ups are always at Producer -> Send tesseract
Send/receive on a tank set-up exactly like you have it there
Receive tesseract wherever I want to use it

EDIT: they're all on the same frequency as well, so this means the liquid can be sent directly from the producer to the receiver, or if it can't, it goes to the tank and is stored as excess

My worry is that the cycle will be: tesseract -on-tank -> tank -> liquiduct -> tesseract -on-tank

mm, I addressed this in my last post, tesseracts cannot send to themselves

So since you've only got one on the tank, it's impossible for liquid coming out of the tank to be put back into the tank, the only way for it to go is the receiving tesseract.

The possible paths for the liquid to go are
Send Tess -> Receive tess
Send tess -> Send/receive tess -> tank -> Liquiduct -> Send/receive tess -> Receive tess

There's no other way to for them to go, and none of those are loops. What you wrote out does happen, Once. For it to become a loop, the send/receive tesseract needs to send to itself for the liquid to re-enter the tank, which is not possible.

EDIT2: Rewording so it makes much more sense

Adonis, I understand that the tesseract cannot send to itself, but it would be sending to the tank (which accepts it), then the liquiduct will extract it and give it back to the tesseract. Thats where the loop would be (essentially the loop i highlighted in my quote of your post).

Yes but then the tesseract would sent it somewhere else, where presumably it would be used, and not return. So while it's a loop, it's not an infinite loop.

 

[Adonis0]

There is a loop, but you might as well think of it as a linear line, because after it reaches the tesseract from the liquiduct, it doesn't return into the tank. So therefore there's no problem.

Okies, i understood you now i think.

Thank you!
