| + | '''Inlet''' and '''Outlet Pumps''' are [[mechanism]]s used to transport [[Water]], [[Lava]] and [[Honey]], without having to construct pathways through [[Blocks]], or rely on gravity. Instead, an Inlet and Outlet Pump need only be connected to each other with [[Wire]]s and activated, which transfers fluid from the Inlet to the Outlet. Each activation transfers up to four tiles of liquid. For continuous automated pumping, a [[Timer]] must be used. |
||
| + | Despite its appearance as a pipe that takes in liquid from beside it, an Inlet Pump must be submerged in liquid, as it removes liquid that lies directly over its graphic, and does so equally from all of its 2x2 tile space. Similarly, an Outlet Pump spawns liquid directly over its graphic, and does so equally over all of its 2x2 tile space. |
||
| − | The '''Teleporter''' is an advanced travel [[mechanism]] sold by the [[Steampunker]]. When two Teleporters are [[wire]]d together with a triggering mechanism, they can instantaneously exchange players, [[NPC]]s, or [[enemies]] between them. Teleporting is always instantaneous, has no load time or cooldown, and costs no [[Mana]]. |
||
| − | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | The two Teleporters must be placed on a surface of solid [[block]]s or platforms and connected by wire, along with a trigger mechanism (eg. a [[Switch]] or [[Pressure Plate]]). When the trigger is activated, an entity within the Teleporter's area-of-effect is instantly transported to the other. The activation looks similar to [[Magic Mirror]] use (but it requires no [[Mana]]). |
||
| − | |||
| − | A Teleporter will transport '''players''', '''NPCs''', or '''enemies''' (but '''not''' background [[Critter]]s, items, or other entities) touching the '''3x3 tile area''' above it. A player standing a maximum of three tile heights above the Teleporter can still be transported, and burying a Teleporter two tiles deep can still transport players walking on the surface. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A [[Pressure Plate]] can be placed directly on top of a Teleporter as the triggering mechanism, along with a short wire connection, which will allow activation simply by walking onto its surface. For Teleporters used with Pressure Plates to access safe zones, use Pressure Plate types that are player-activated only (gray, brown, blue), to better ensure that [[enemies]] can't inadvertently activate them and teleport inside. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Teleporting is always two-way: when a connection is activated, both ends will '''exchange''' all players, NPCs, and hostile mobs, that are at least partially occupying any square of 3x3 space above Teleporter pads. Players should keep this in mind when constructing Teleporter paths, as enemies could unintentionally be brought into a base, for example. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A single Teleporter can be wired to multiple destinations: With access to only a single wire color, each end of a Teleporter pad can be wired to one destination each, for a total of two possible destinations (each must have its own triggering mechanism). Using all three wire colors, each of the three can be connected simultaneously to each end of the Teleporter, for a total of six possible destinations (3+3). |

| − | === Range === |
||
| − | Travel range is limited by the maximum length of a wire line, which is approximately 4,000 feet (2,000 blocks): to travel from one end of the map to the other, several teleportations will be required, though with precise [[pressure plate]] placing they could be stacked in one continous jump. A large map is 2,400 tiles tall, so the range may not quite be enough to jump from [[the Underworld]] to a [[Floating Island]]. |

Inlet and Outlet Pumps are mechanisms used to transport Water, Lava and Honey, without having to construct pathways through Blocks, or rely on gravity. Instead, an Inlet and Outlet Pump need only be connected to each other with Wires and activated, which transfers fluid from the Inlet to the Outlet. Each activation transfers up to four tiles of liquid. For continuous automated pumping, a Timer must be used.
Despite its appearance as a pipe that takes in liquid from beside it, an Inlet Pump must be submerged in liquid, as it removes liquid that lies directly over its graphic, and does so equally from all of its 2x2 tile space. Similarly, an Outlet Pump spawns liquid directly over its graphic, and does so equally over all of its 2x2 tile space.
Notes
- When used to transport Lava, a Pump already submerged in Lava cannot generally be retrieved again without destroying it, as the dropped Pump item will immediately fall into the Lava. Lava must first be drained in order to retrieve the Pump.
- When activating an Inlet Pump that is submerged in a body of liquid, slightly more liquid will be pumped out than is taken in. Using a Timer, this effect can be exploited as a liquid production method. See also: Guide:Making liquid.
- There may be no more than 2,000 Wires in a single connection between any mechanism, including Pumps. Additional sets of Pumps can be used to increase this limit.
- Multiple Inlets and Outlets can be connected using a single path of Wires. The fluid transfer rate is increased accordingly, without the need for additional Wires to act as "pipes".
- When an Outlet Pump is submerged, the pumping stops
