@sumuvaris thanks i was just looking for this mod again glad to know it works in the most recent version

As far as I can tell, this mod still works as intended. I used it way back to sort the mess my friends left in our storage containers.
It doesnt even break anything if you start the game without it. Believe me, I went to our base, when I didn't have any mods on, and the base didn't burst into flames. Only the beacons were gone. I added them back in today and it still works.
The blue and green beacons need to be wired together, which was something I forgot but reading the mod description explains everything.
I love this mod, makes putting away loot sooooo easy. ❤

Does this mod still work? I've placed both beacons but nothing happens when I place items in the broadcast chest.

Does it turn off the achievements?

Not that I've seen, they have something similar but more complicated.

Is this functionality included in the FU?

Kind of like Terraria. No, almost exactly like Terraria.

What if the player could have a container open while having a workbench active?
Not a suggestion to add anything, just wanted to see what people thought.

Mine stopped working.

I was testing it out and got the broadcast beacon to send items to the containers with the receiving beacon.

Then I tried to make the Hyper storage connected to the broadcast beacon so I could carry a container with me on the planet that I could throw stuff in and it would relay it to the receiving beacon. That did not work unless the containers connected to the hyper storage were identical in type and number of slots.

Then after that started working, I set another container that already had items in it (another mod) under the beacon to see if it would automatically move everything in it to the correct containers. It did nothing, then it completely stopped working.

Resetting the game did nothing. Tried taking everything down and setting it up again and that did nothing. Any ideas?

I'm going to use this to just dump all my materials into one chest after exploring, and then let the game sort it for me.

@nothing, not sure, but I wasn't sure if the author is still maintaining this mod, so I started my own mod (first one!) that has similar functionality because I find it essential in my gameplay so I will be maintaining it. If there are any issues with this mod, feel free to check out mine:

what bugs to expect with 1.3?
Exaelitus 28 Apr, 2018 @ 10:27am 
They should show up on the vanilla-game teleporter vender NPC. It's called the Teleshop Stop or something like that

Can you post admin commands for all 3 hyper items from merchant shop and for container station?
Shedar 27 Apr, 2018 @ 8:56pm 
There is no merchant in a hub with FU installed :=(
Exaelitus 14 Feb, 2018 @ 9:30pm 
Whitegrave, that is intended behavior. If you interact with the Broadcaster, you may see a message about it going into alternate mode. That mode will attempt to dump an item alongside similar items, but it is an experimental feature and not reliable -- and does nothing if the item isn't matched with SOMETHING in one of the chest ( i.e. doesn't do what you first asked for. )

Hope this helps!
Whitegrave 14 Feb, 2018 @ 8:42pm 
So in my testing, this mod will move an item to a container if that container contains a stack of that item type. However, if I place in item in my Broadcast container that doesn't have a match in any Reception containers, nothing will happen and the item will remain untouched in my Broadcast container.

I'm trying to find a way to make this mod dump new items into the first or random slot within the Reception container(s) inventory. Is this not possible? I've tried with the secondary sorting both on and off.
Exaelitus 13 Feb, 2018 @ 7:31pm 
Peasly Wellbott, I'm wondering if I could talk to you about this mod, sent Friend Request since I can't post to your profile page...
Exaelitus 11 Feb, 2018 @ 4:37pm 
Yes, this still works. And no, the Hyper-storage is not cross-planets. However, anywhere on the same planet should work (based on description of mod, didn't test this).

Anyone know the range of the Broadcaster? It only shows the "range" for the chest it will monitor. The Reception beacons show a range, but I believe this is the range of chests they dump into.

I had thought the Reception beacons had to be within the same range for them to be considered by a Broadcastor, but testing out right now that isn't true. Just how far away can a Reception beacon be until the Broadcaster can't find it? The mod desc. just says "nearby".

This info is crucial to my warehouse building plans! :rcry:

Thanks!

Still work now ?
ScrambieBambie 20 Dec, 2017 @ 10:48am 
This is just perfect. Simple, automated and even animated to the point you can see where whing goes, without any pre-setup.
Snott 13 Dec, 2017 @ 9:40pm 
Is it possible cross planet?
Mossmad 2 Dec, 2017 @ 6:00pm 
This mod works great with enhanced storage. my only complaint is that there isn't anyway to search all the chests that are connected to the reception beacon.
Crunchy Sponge 19 Oct, 2017 @ 11:59am 
Works great for me in an otherwise vanilla game. Absolutely essential mod that ought to be part of the base game.
Altzan260 1 Oct, 2017 @ 1:08pm 
Is this mod compatible with FU??
Therium 13 Jul, 2017 @ 4:57pm 
im having problem with once i place it down it crash's my game.
Fahrenade 5 Jul, 2017 @ 10:40am 
It would be nice to have a racial-themed alternative instead of having green/blue/purple gems everywhere...
Reina 16 Jun, 2017 @ 11:59am 
is this still works in 1.3?
Jack Unova 6 Apr, 2017 @ 7:29pm 
...minus teleporters obviously
Jack Unova 6 Apr, 2017 @ 7:28pm 
I went to the Teleporter shop and found nothing.
MiKaz 19 Jan, 2017 @ 8:57pm

Is there a way to "reset" the whole wiring system?

When I break a "receiver" green one, it will not longer be wired to the blue ones, but when i put the green one back on, it's somehow remembers the old wiring?
shuntaro36 3 Jan, 2017 @ 10:32am 
so...this mod conflicts with a quest "The final frontier" .The mysterius trader didn`t spawned above teleshop.

enhanced algorithm crashes and also glitches my game. uninstsall-reinstall mod and not using enhanced algorithm.
Phase 2 Sep, 2016 @ 9:03am 
I have a question, if I use the Enhanced Storage mod and the Hyper storage from this, what happens when I break a container?
Snowmech 1 Sep, 2016 @ 9:59pm 
Within seconds of using this mod a few things happened. First I wondered why I did not use this mod earlier. Second my life became impossibly easier, exponentially easier. Lastly the potential of how I can optimize my farm, the ideas are just flowing like a relief flow from a dam.. non stop,.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Sick ass mod!!! Thx alot!!! Safe my brother and I alot of time sorting all our tons of tons of items! thx alot! Easy and awesome to use! love how you can see the range they use when placing them them and interaction after ! For those not knowing how to use it: Go to The ark/outpost. Go to the Teleport shop, buy the blue and green crystals, Place 1 blue crystal above a chest so the chest is in the blue awesome line, then place the green crystals at the chest you want items to get sorted to make sure to have the chests inside the nice big green circle and it should work :) :steamhappy:

- Rated up n Favorited :) :steamhappy:
T4ke 26 Aug, 2016 @ 11:02am 
Can the receptor beacon set to ignore specific container types durring the sorting process?
Gradius 24 Aug, 2016 @ 9:44am 
@rudeyz i cant tell anything from your picture.

make sure "from" chests have a blue diamond over them.

make sure "to" chests have a green diamond within range of those chests.

the rest is automatic.

ErickD 21 Aug, 2016 @ 8:27am 
doesn't work with some storage like Gene Storage Chest from Frakin Universe but it does transfer the new items of the mod by using the old storage from original game
Bob of Mage 19 Aug, 2016 @ 9:02pm 
Man I why didn't I remember this mod sooner! I am a major pack rat so this really help save tons of time.
Ferralin 16 Aug, 2016 @ 10:48pm 
Kind of wish there was a detailed guide on how to set everything up, kind of hard to figure out what goes where
Psydan 16 Aug, 2016 @ 12:49pm 
Hi, I was wondering if it's possible for you to reduce the range of the Reception Beacon?
Glyde 14 Aug, 2016 @ 1:25pm 
me and my friends have so much fun with this mod when were on the same planet.. im able to send items to my friend from far away (for example: the other side of the planet) using the hyper storage beacon and he recieves the items instantly.. saves me alot of walking and teleporting... i just wish it was possible to send items from one planet to another
Fantabuloso VonTrugle 12 Aug, 2016 @ 7:10pm 
Sorting manually is a pain.
Quadcorephenia 12 Aug, 2016 @ 12:36am 
Got the same problem as Fantabuloso VonTrugle
Before, the ones I already installed worked fine. Now they're gone...
