Linking Travelnets to Transactors / Hoppers / Dumbwaiters

by Bob Hovercraft » Thu Apr 03, 2014 15:02

Hi all,

Is it theoretically possible to link travelnet boxes to transactors / hoppers and/or dumbwaiters to effectively 'beam' materials from one location to another a la Star Trek transporters - it works with players, but how about blocks and products etc?

Say, for example, you have a factory in one location and you wish to automatically send materials through to a build site remotely rather than doing repeat runs through boxes / moving factories (which can take some time to build themselves).

The travelnet box would have to be locked to one location once built otherwise materials would go everywhere! (Perhaps a 'RESOURCENET' mod (with travelnet boxes coloured in say green or blue)?

What do you think?
