MFFS: Liquid fortron and tesseracts

[The Skeptical Tech]

I ran into an issue the other day.

I made a stupidly large extra utilities tank (i.e. 3x3x10ish) and filled it with fortron from a coercion deriver.

Now I want to use that fortron to power some projectors for base building underwater.

However, when I tested this with a tesseract, the fortron won't transfer. I put a liquiduct on the tank, piped it into the tesserect, and set it to send the liquid. Walia indicates that fortron is being pumped out.

However, the tesseract on the other side is not pumping out fortron into the projector. I tried pumping from the tesseract into another tank, but that didn't work either. Walia indicates that no fortron is being pumped out.

What gives?

Screenshots of the setup and tesseract GUIs might help. I can't think of anything obviously wrong.

I'd say check the status of both the tesseracts. Make sure that the sending tesseract is set to send fluids and isn't recieving a redstone signal. Then for the recieving tes make sure its set to recieve fluids and make sure it doesn't get a redstone signal.

Are both tesseracts chunk-loaded?

Other than that, I have no idea as I've been able to transfer silly amounts of fortron via tesseracts.

I think I have an idea of what's going on.

I have the tesserect right up against the tank with a fluiduct pulling liquid out of said tank into the tesseract. What might be happening is that the liquid is going into the tesseract and then immediately back out into the tank.

Easy way to fix this would be to move the tesseract 1 block away from the tank.

I don't think that's even possible, unless you have both tesseracts sending and receiving in a loop.

Nope
Unless it is sent to both send and revieve that cannot happen

Nope

And even then, I don't think a single tesseract can form a loop like that with itself.

I have to test this out when I get the chance later, I'll try to remember to report back.

Never mind, I figured it out.

It was a derp, you don't need to have the liquidduct pump liquid out of the tesseract, you just have to connect it.
