I have my own seed on a map, BUT i do most of the same buildings as direwolf does in his season 5 videos.

I am now at episode 24 and am TOTALLY stuck.


At this point he starts with computercraft which i hate since its so hard to copy it.
However, i have the exact same room as him, and the same kind of quarry place as him, i put the teleport blocks and the distances exact same.

i set the turtle next to the cable that are supposed to charge it, and then wrote "pastebin get 1k8csytp 1"

It started to think and said he was on the charge station, and since i refueled him above 1000 fuel, he didnt focus on that. So he went to the telepad but then it all didnt work anymore. The teleporter really seems broken, it does simply not teleport with or without the code direwolf made.

im thinking to upload a simple video of how it behaves maybe its easier to see whats wrong then?

Anyway, if you do got any ideas of what can be wrong now, or additional answers needed, just ask!
I really want this turtle to work, since it makes the quarry work endless

Did a quick test and the script in the provided pastebin link works just fine for me.
My guess is that you did not properly connect the 2 teleporters.
You need to link each destination seperately, so you will need to link A -> B and B -> A.

To test the odd chance that the teleporter might be broken for you for whatever reason:
1. Place 2 teleporters.
2. Right-click teleporter A with a redstone repeater, right-click telepoter B with a redstone repeater. Should say "linked teleporter at ... to this teleporter".
3. Same as step 2, but first click B then A. Should say again that it linked.
4. Place a turtle (any kind) on one of the teleporters.
5. Put fuel in its first item slot and type "refuel all" in the turtle.
6. Type the following in the turtle:
lua
m=peripheral.wrap("bottom")
m.teleport()

It should teleport.



Edit: Just saw in your second video: You actually did not have the teleporter the turtle sits on linked to the other one. When you rightclick them it says LINKED and not UNLINKED which it should say if they were correctly linked before.

Hmm alright, now i tried with the teleporter at the actual quarry.

But after i type m.teleport() it responds "false"
But when i had the teleporter in the same room as in the video, then it worked!

Is there a distance limit on the teleporter??

It will return false if:
1. Turtle does not have enough fuel to teleport. Teleporting needs roughly 2 times the amount of fuel the turtle would have needed if it moved the same distance without teleporting.
2. The teleporter it sits on has no linked destination, again, make sure they're linked both ways.
3. The teleporter on the other end is not chunkloaded, do you have a chunkloader in your base that keeps your base loaded when you're at the quarry?
The quarry has a build-in chunkloader, however, if you'd happen to have build the quarry in a way that there's a chunk border just between the quarry and the teleporter, it would not load the teleporter. Press F9 to see chunk borders and check if the teleporter is in the same chunk as the quarry. If it isn't, it will need a chunkloader, too.

Hmm, alright, checklist:
1. I loaded 10560 fuel, But the quarry is quite far away from the base of mine, aprx 800m.
2. I linked it alot of times now, and i am 100% it said linked This to This teleporter, not unlink.
3. The chunk is just in same box, the quarry happened to be in the left upper corner of same chunk, and the teleporter is about in the middle.

Now, only possibillity is that the fuel is too low, or its just simply too far anyway.
How much fuel does it need for 800m?

I did some testing and it appears that there seems to be either a range cap or a bug with the teleporters.
They unlink if the link distance is very far.
In my tests, 400 blocks unlinked, while 150 blocks worked.

Dang naggit!
Alright... That practically solves the problem then.
Ill finish the quarry at where it is now with biofuel, then i'll move it way closer so this will work in future :)

Thanks for helping out!

I'm severely visual so being able to poke around a build myself as opposed to a video is helpful for me. I learned how to use sorting machines by destroying DW20's build in his world save. But that's just me.

I wasnt saying to "play" the save, just use it as a learning tool. Which I am pretty sure is why he allows the download

Alright... reput the quarry really close to base now and now it can only teleport TO the quarry, not FROM it.
And i linked those motherfucking teleporters 100 times now.
Im done with this. Fuck computercraft.

Teleporters are base IC2 and there are 3 type of tesseracts: item, liquid, & energy. I was referring to the energy tesseract since you can't get the turtle to move the REC's for you
