[Suggestion] Nether Vortex energy transferer

you have to be there anyway, chunks that are unloaded dont provide power as far as i know

A possible way would be noting how much power's stored in either worlds transfer storage and track the transfer in the active world, then when you swap the tracked values get forced into the storages from which they were.
Like when you got 10m in the nether it saves 10m and you leave it, then you start draining from that saved 10m (which it actually generates 'out of the void') until you either go to the nether or use all 10m up. So when you go back to the nether the storage from that the 10m were saved get's set to whatever's left.
I guess using Laps would be easier, not only for Al but in the end for us too.
Or for you MassFab lovers that need bigger dimensions, get a modder to just make an ITron Crystal, Iridium Plated Lapotrons with dunno 10m capacity?

I'd never need that, I'd only need 1 lap for setting up a remote miner and that only since a normal crystal can't hold enough, my mining operations normally need 250k so I prefer MSFU -> MV -> LV -> Miner - Pump -> GeoGen for when there should be lava to recharge a bit back

why not just carry an inventory of lapatorn crystals?

This would have to be done in too hack-ish of a way to work. So nope.avi

Gotta agree with that.
Given energy exchange between nether and world is either impossible (SSP) or difficult (SMP) any sort of "transport energy with a block activating upon using a nether portal" (which would yet again be a pain to code, if even possible) can actually be replaced by just carrying 36 Lapotron Crystals, don't you agree?

But what if we want to transfer more than 36 million worth of power over about 10 seconds?

That's what i've been doin with great success. Feels like grocery shopping the way i have it set up tho lol.

Guess you're SOL buddy.

B) it would requires 36 diamonds, 72 iron, 216 lapis lazuli, 264 Redstone, 1296 copper, and 2592 rubber

fire up the ol' matter factory.

I think you have a major error on the amount of copper and rubber required. Each Lapotron requires 2 circuits.. Just 2. so 72 circuits for the whole set of 36 crystals - that's 432 pieces of cable. You multiplied THAT by 3 copper and 6 rubber... you forgot that the recipe isn't for one cable, it's for 6. So the correct amount is 216 Copper and 432 Rubber.

Seriously, if you haven't got enough resources to make 36 Lapotrons, what are you doing setting up a power station in the Nether anyhow?

luminators, because glowstone just isn't enough.

An 'el cheapo' version of a Nether Power station would be to instead use a combination of BC Tanks and Pumps, Teleport Pipes (optional), 2.2.5 bucket filler*, and Lava Cells. Simply set up a series of BC tanks to receive lava from your pumps. Then connect said tanks to a/several bucket fillers full of lava cells. Then transport the cells to the Overworld to be received. Yes, this system does cost quite a bit of Tin, but it's worth the investment...

And it's more practical to have instead of trying to code cross-realm EU exchange...

*You can by-pass needing bucket filler with the old 'Mobile Pump' addon, and having a GeoGen in the Nether to keep it charged with as you collect Lava cells directly from the BC tanks

So... you go to the Nether to get power for your luminators - which provide the same light level as glowstone blocks, but also need power... when instead you could just build Glowstone blocks from a material which could be found... in the Nether?

I really think you have obviously not given enough thought to the justifications for your actions. You're tilting at a windmill here.

I am jesting here, good sir.

Would you be able to transfer energy if you are using Bukkit? (::fingers crossed::)

1: Install Charging bench addond
2: Plug in a ton of geothermal energy
3: Charge 12 laptron crystals via the bench
4: Take them to the overworld
5: ????
6: Profit?

In that case, it is funny. Hard to tell if you were serious, given some of the stuff I've seen around here (like people talking about using UU-M to make tin for fuel cells for a generator)...

What? UUM for tin for fuel cells for a generator?
