Translocator Mod

[FtbBossWhoIsAw3s0m3]

You know the mod translocators by chicken bones?
Well here is a thread about useful things you can use it for.
Now, firstly, just like to point out that if you look down at a block and hit 'C' you will get a crafting interface.
I use translocators as pipes sometimes (CmcCmcD) C= Chest m= translocator set to output c= translocator collecting D= Destination.
Any others you use it for.

just saying that there is also liquid ones

Translocators are awesome, they are very cool for compact stuff...

They also don't seem to work transferring biofuel from a bio-reactor to an iron tank.

Tried the top of the reactor, going upwards into the tank, no.
Tried the bottom of the reactor (I moved it) going downwards into the tank.
No.

And yes, it was set up correctly, the particles were going and I had already tried them transferring the biofuel from the tank to my bio generator. That worked.

So I dunno why it doesn't work with Bio Reactors at all.

Perhaps I need to investigate this further and actually submit a bug report...

Didn't work for me either...

Perhaps something to try is to put a glass tank next to your bio-reactor, and attach the translocators to that?
The bio-reactor for some reason doesn't allow extraction of the liquid, but will output into what it believes are valid inventories.

Thing is, that 2 stage 3 block setup kinda delegates the compactness and purpose of translocators.
Just using liquiducts becomes easier, or using ForgeUtils liquid transfer nodes.

That it does, but that's about the only way I can think about how to make it work

However, what is the speed of this translocators-tank-translocators would be faster than liquiduct.

As it really does seem that the primary limit on the bioreactor is transferring fuel OUT of the buffer. Or do pipes etc only access the "biofuel" slot and not the buffer, which rather slowly drains into the storage, which could be the alternate limit. If so, how does one speed this up, or is it a balance restriction?

does anyone else use the pipe setup in the original post?
