I put the question out on Reddit FTB and it got some responses http://www.reddit.com/r/feedth…leporters_if_the_eu_cost/

On the IC2 wiki you can find the energy cost calculation.
But I think you can turn the cost for items that you hold off in the config.That calculator won't really work for how I'm using the teleporters (see the vid) and most server admins aren't going to be fussed to change configs. it should be balanced off the bat.

Teleporters are instant
Railways are cheap but Take a while
Mystcraft is OP as hell
Teleporters really dont take that much power, you are just doing it wrong. Try taking everything in your inventory out, it makes the energy cost much less.I take it you didn't watch the video? And while Mystcraft is op (like I said) the fact is people aren't going to use this block in most of the packs for that reason. I'm not saying make it free but when you look at the cost involved in the setup in the video (which couldn't be done any other way, I am doing it right, and expecting people to empty their inventories makes what is supposed to be a convenience very inconvenient and defies the point of using it and that's why NO ONE USES THE BLOCK!) the EU cost is tremendous, not to mention the difficulty of getting that much power to remote places.

I know this probably isn't the first time this has been said but I beg you hear me out. I feel like this device has basically just been written off because of it's high EU cost compared to other mods and I really want to see it getting used again. Please reduce the EU cost of teleporters!!!! They are a great machine but see so little use because when compared to other mods like mystcraft they're so, so expensive to use. I like that they aren't as op as mystcraft but the massive EU cost makes them almost unjustifiable and impossible to set up easily in remote places. I've come up with an awesome way to use them by chaining them ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29picGlScKQ ) but the cost is in the millions for a few short jumps and when you think about the tiny distance this is (maybe 20 meters?) the EU cost really shouldn't be so high when you can get around so cheaply with in other mods. Anyway, love the mod and sorry for hassling the thread with demands.

Ha ha ha, that's so embarrassing! I had just assumed and really need to check these things!! Weird that the ftb wiki linked me to this thread...
