Cargo Teleporter (Radio Antenna Version)

This mod is abandoned.

GET THIS INSTEAD -> https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2450039916

I no longer have any interest developing or maintaining any if my space engineers mods.
As far as i know, it works as of 23rd September 2017 / Beta 1.184.1.


What is it?

This block will teleport items to (or from) another storage container. I Cannot model, So vanilla models have been used.

This version is the non-unlimited range version and only has the conveyor based block version. (Unlimited Range Version : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=561962092 ).

The range of the Cargo Teleporter is set by the range of the first placed antenna.

Conveyor Sorter Based. - Uses power and can be turned off.
Large Ships/Stations: Uses Large Sorter model. 1 MW Power Usage
Small Ships : Uses Small ship varient of Large Sorter model. 250 kW Power Usage
Note: Drain mode will dump to / pull from connected storage.


How to use

After placing the block, Edit the name of the block and set the destination by adding [T|F:NAME] to the name and editing as follows.

T|F: - You can choose to transfer item TO or FROM the target container ( [T:NAME] for to or [F:NAME] for from)

NAME - the name of the container (or any block with inventory) to transfer to.

So, a Cargo Teleporter named "Cargo Teleporter [T:Small Cargo Container 2]" will transfer to a container called Small Cargo Container 2.

The Teleporter and destination blocks must be owned by the same person or the same faction. 'Nobody' is a valid choice as well.


Antenna signal relaying (aka using the chain of antennas you own)
You can now use chains/networks of antennas to find specific targets.

How? Get the name of the ship or station and [G:NAME] to the teleporter. Where NAME the name you got.

If you don't add the [G:NAME] to the name, no attempt to transmit across antennas will occur.


The Witch has kindly made a video to show off what this is and how it works, Cheers mate!.
Note: While it shows the unlimited cargo container version, it works the same way, just a different model and antennas.

Notes:

You can also use < and > in place of [ and ]

If you have more than 1 antenna and its not having the range you expect, it may be using another antenna, just confirm the range across all antennas are set correctly.

When used with the Automated Sorting by Tysis, due to how this block is named (my fault), A.S. will sometimes put items into the container when it shouldnt. It's due to how its named as well as i use the same style tags as A.S. Not using the words, 'Cargo' or 'Storage' in the name gets around it.
