I have recently built a mobile base in my world using MFFS Force Manipulators and I want to be able to teleport up there from my on-ground base, but I cannot find a way...

What I have tried:

Portal Guns
Portal Gun Frames
IC2 Teleporter

Anyone any suggestions???

Portal guns on stands(The ones that come with the mod) were the old go to for redpower borers. You'd set it up to send a wireless signal once to shoot the portal and then use the same gun to make the other or use a frame. Send it again to turn it off.

Not sure if you'd tried them like that per se but it's worth a shot.

Or you can set up a system that recieves unlinked link books, right clicks them in an autonomous activator and then sends them back. You need a new linking book every time though.

That would produce a huge number of linked book, and I dont think I have that much leather anyway ;)

Which pack are you on? What about a wraith node ? Even a ender IO staff of traveling XD

Lastly you could use blood magic teleposers?

Teleposers wouldn't work-the focus binds to the other teleposer's coordinates rather than to the block, so the movement of the teleposer would unsync the two as far as I know. Ars Magica, as suggested above, should work as it uses keystones within the portal itself to set the destination

Enhanced Portals 3 portals are bound to the portal frame and not a specific coordinate I believe. So should be doable. If they tolerate being moved that is.

AM2 portals work if you replace the keystone every time your base moves. You can automate this, but I don't like it. You can try Mekanism teleporters as well. Enhanced Portals has a crippling bug that causes crashes. Dimensional Doors is probably the best option. It may take some time to set up since you need.....I don't recall the name but it's an item you can only find in Dimensional Dungeons... to make the kind of portal you need.

Also, I have another question: I've thought about building a mobile base myself but I was put off by the time it takes for the Force Manipulator to teleport any significant distance. Did you find a method to shorten that time? Unlike their name suggests, speed modules don't do anything in that regard.

I queried the author of DimDoors on the minecraftforum thread and he "confirmed" that Dimension Doors does not track the target tile entity. So while you might be able to move one side of a door, actually exiting from the other side will target the original location.

I am confused as to why Portal Gun portal frames would not work, if triggered just in time using wireless redstone.

Which portal gun blocks do you mean?? - the frames?? or is there another block which I have not encountered yet.

I do see there are a number of blocks in the portal gun tab.
