Quantum Entangloporter

The Quantum Entangloporter is a Mekanism block that shares items, fluids, chemicals, energy and heat with every other Entangloporter on the same frequency, over any distance and between dimensions. It's crafted from 4 Refined Obsidian Ingots, 2 Ultimate Control Circuits, 2 Atomic Alloys and a Teleportation Core, and you'll need at least two. Each frequency has one item slot, 256,000 mB of fluid, 8,192,000 mB of chemical and 102,400,000 FE of energy as its buffer, which is also the most it can pass per tick. Sides are set to Input or Output for each type, and auto-eject has to be turned on at the receiving end. It uses no energy and takes only the Anchor Upgrade.

The Quantum Entangloporter is a Mekanism block that sends items, fluids, chemicals, energy and heat to every other Entangloporter on the same frequency. There’s no limit on distance and it’ll work between dimensions, so a pair of them can do the job of a cable, a pipe, a tube and a transporter all at once.

You’ll need at least two, as one puts things into the frequency and another takes them out. They don’t use any energy to run, though each one only works while its chunk is loaded, which is what the Anchor Upgrade is for.

How to Make It

One Quantum Entangloporter is crafted from 4 Refined Obsidian Ingots in the corners, 2 Ultimate Control Circuits above and below, 2 Atomic Alloys on the sides and a Teleportation Core in the middle. The core needs 2 more Atomic Alloys, so a pair of Entangloporters comes to 8 of them.

That makes it an expensive block for its size, and it’s usually built around the same time as the Digital Miner, which shares the Teleportation Core. The Refined Obsidian Ingots come from the Osmium Compressor, which you’ll find on the Refined Obsidian page.

How It Works

Open the Quantum Entangloporter and create a frequency, then set the second one to the same frequency in its own screen. A frequency can be public, private or shared with trusted players, and any number of Entangloporters are able to join it, not only two.

The frequency itself holds a small buffer of each type, and every Entangloporter on it reads from and writes to that same buffer. So whatever goes into one is in all of them straight away, which is why nothing has to travel between them.

Type Buffer
Items1 slot
Fluids256,000 mB
Chemicals8,192,000 mB
Energy102,400,000 FE (256,000,000 J)

Those buffers are also the most a frequency is able to pass in a tick, as they match an Ultimate Energy Cube, Fluid Tank and Chemical Tank. In practice the item slot is the narrow one, as a single slot means only one type of item can be passing through at a time.

Setting the sides

Each side of the block is set to Input, Output or Input/Output in the side configuration screen, and that’s done separately for items, fluids, chemicals and energy. The front of the block is set to Output for all four to begin with and the other faces to Input, so the receiving Entangloporter needs its front, or another side you’ve changed to Output, facing whatever it’s feeding.

Turn on auto-eject at the receiving end

Auto-eject is off for every type on an Entangloporter until you switch it on in the side configuration screen. Without it the receiving Entangloporter will just hold the buffer, and nothing comes out unless a pipe or cable is set to pull from it.

Heat works a little differently, as every side passes it both ways and there’s nothing to switch on. That lets you carry heat from a Resistive Heater to a build somewhere else, though heat has no auto-eject setting at all.

Upgrades and Automation

The only upgrade it takes is a single Anchor Upgrade, which keeps the Entangloporter’s own chunk loaded. Without one, an Entangloporter in an unloaded chunk does nothing, so the far end of a link will stop the moment you leave the area.

Setting an Entangloporter Frequency

A common setup is to put one next to a Digital Miner far from your base, taking in the mined items and sending out energy on the same block. The one at home then has an energy side set to Input from an Energy Cube and an item side set to Output into storage.

For more than one item type at a time, a second frequency with its own pair will keep them from waiting on that single slot. To move yourself instead of your items, the Teleporter links by frequency in the same way, and it’s the next page along from this one.

FAQ

How do you use the Quantum Entangloporter?
›

Place two of them and set both to the same frequency in their screens. On the sending one, set a side to Input for what you’re moving, and on the receiving one set a side to Output and turn on auto-eject. Items, fluids, chemicals and energy each have their own side settings.

Does the Quantum Entangloporter work across dimensions?
›

It’ll work between any two dimensions, as the buffer belongs to the frequency and not to either of the blocks, so there isn’t a limit on distance either. Both ends do need to be in loaded chunks though, so you’ll want to put an Anchor Upgrade in the one that you aren’t standing near.

How much can a Quantum Entangloporter transfer?
›

Each frequency passes up to 102,400,000 FE, 256,000 mB of fluid and 8,192,000 mB of chemical per tick, and it has one item slot. Those limits are shared by every Entangloporter on that frequency, so adding more blocks to it won’t raise them.

Does the Quantum Entangloporter need power?
›

It doesn’t use any energy to run, as it only passes along what’s put into it. The energy it carries is stored on the frequency, and the same goes for the items and fluids, so breaking one block won’t lose what’s in the buffer.
