I reached out to Goxmeor a while back and he graciously agreed to let me revive this mod for 1.16 and beyond. Thanks Gox!



This mod enables the deconstruction, construction, and linking of Static Translocators.

To get started, you will need 3 steel ingots, 2 gold ingots, and 1 rough diamond.  To craft new Translocators with this mod, you will need to use the crowbar to destroy Translocators you find in the world, since it is not possible to craft or otherwise find some of the components.

All translocation is always two-way. 


The Crowbar

The crowbar can be smithed on an anvil, using a single steel ingot. Only steel is strong enough to make an effective crowbar. With the crowbar in hand, hold left click to pry a Static Translocatior apart.

 

Breaking Apart Translocators

Crowbars are not an exact science. Not all components are recovered when breaking apart a Translocator:

Quantity   Description Recovery Quantity/Chance
1   Gate Array 80%
1   Particulation Component 80%
1   Power Core always
1   Glass Slab always
4   Metal Parts 2-4
1   Coalescence Crystal 5-6 shards recovered, 6 shards are required to make a complete crystal

 

If you previously repaired the Translocator, you will also get back the 2 Metal Parts and any Temporal Gears you added. (However, if a Translocator was repaired with Temporal Gears by a non-Clockmaker before this mod was added, 1 fewer gears will be returned.)

If you crafted the Translocator, you will get back the extra 2 Metal Parts and 2 Temporal Gears you used in crafting it.



Using The Linker

The Linker can be used to connect two Translocators. Crafted Translocators can be linked immediately. Found Translocators will need to be repaired first, before they can be linked.

There's no point in building and placing newly crafted Translocators without a Linker, because they won't go anywhere. Only the Translocators found in ruined structures are pre-linked to other Translocators.

The Linker crafting recipe includes a Gate Array (among other things, check the Handbook,) so at least one Translocator must be sacrified to craft it.

To use the Linker, right click on a Translocator, then right click it on a second Translocator. Both Translocators will become linked. If either Translocator was previously linked to another Translocator, those other Translocator(s) will become unlinked. An unlinked Translocator is still repaired, but requires linking before it can be used. All Translocation is two-way: there are never one-way Translocators.

The maximum distance a link can be made between two Translocators with the Linker is 8000 blocks. The lights on the front of the Linker provide a rough indicator of distance. As you travel away from the first Translocator you've synchronized the linker to, the lights will start to go out (1 light will go out for every 1000 blocks.) If you are holding a Linker which is synchronized to a Translocator which is farther away than 8000 blocks, all lights will go out and the panel will flicker, indicating that you are out of range.

After synchronizing your Linker to a Translocator, you can reset it by holding Sneak (shift) and right clicking.


New Translocators

Craft them and place them wherever you like. The recipe is in the handbook.

Crafted Translocators are fully repaired and ready to be linked: you will not need to add additional Metal Parts or additional Temporal Gears. They won't do anything until they are linked with the Linker.

 

Mod Configuration

OPTIONAL: Now configurable in-game with a GUI! This new feature requires Config Lib and ImGui as dependencies. In-game: simply press [ESC] and click the new Mods Settings button to configure (or press [P]).

If you want to customize this mod the old fashioned way, see %appdata%/VintagestoryData/ModConfig/TranslocatorEngineeringMod.json.

    "MaximumLinkRange": 8000
    "AlwaysDropAllCrystalShards": false,
    "RecoveryChanceGateArray": 0.8  (as in, 80%)
    "RecoveryChanceParticulationComponent": 0.8  (as in, 80%)


Add-Ons

If steel is too much of a hurdle to overcome, consider adding this mod as well (for game version 1.20.x only):

Cocytus
I tried every pickaxe variant on a ruins translocator in every state of repair (unrepaired to fully repaired) and could not recreate that, so no.
Makes sense because the crowbar is what controls the entire breaking mechanism.
Either some other mod is causing this, or the translocator you broke was one of the new translocator "clutter" variants, not an actual translocator.


💬 Cocytus, 10 hours ago

It seems like translocators found in ruins can be destroyed with copper+ pickaxes? I thought only crowbars were supposed to be able to break them, but I just accidentally blew one up on the first swing while going through a ruin.

💬 SpearAndFang , 11 hours ago

madcatandrew
Did you restart the server?  This mod relies heavily on vanilla translocator code to function, and there have been a few reports of this same thing happening without this mod installed.

💬 madcatandrew, 14 hours ago

After updating to 1.20.6 it appears the teleporter in our base no longer functions. It spins up and screen shakes and.... just keeps shaking and spinning forever. Only other change on the server was smithingplus 1.2.5 > 1.3.8

 

Re-linking the translocators didn't fix it, and they're still in range according to the linker.

💬 SpearAndFang , Mar 14th at 3:13 AM

Shinji170981

I just saw that exact issue reported without any mods the other day.  I suspect it's related to custom landcover and/or landcover scale.  For the person that reported the issue, they said that restarting the game fixed their issue.

Long story short, I think it's a vanilla bug.

💬 Shinji170981, Mar 13th at 8:17 PM

SpearAndFang

We are having an issue on our server with the mod, because all the vanilla translocators are not able to connect to other translocators.
After repairing a translocator with the metal parts and the temporal gears, the translocator will only say "Warping spacetime..." and nothing happens. There is nothing happening on the server log side either.
We are currently using the 1.5.6 version on our server with 1.20.4.

Any idea why this is not working? Are there any mods which might cause a conflict with your mod? Like the one which prevents connecting to translocators beneath an ocean?
We don't really want to remove your mod, because we are using it to connect the villages, so it would really be nice, if you could help us out.

If you need more details, you can ask here or ping me on Discord.

Thank you :)

💬 SpearAndFang , Feb 28th at 5:16 AM

Staniboy
I see that. Vanilla was having some issues with that as well of late - may be related to that.
Anyways, I've added it to my to-do list thanks!

jamescook
they are linked and animated?  I don't know what else to tell you but it sounds like a mod conflict.

💬 jamescook, Feb 26th at 3:30 AM

for some reason i can't teleport useing the translocators.

💬 SpearAndFang , Feb 25th at 4:29 AM

ArmandVestibule

That's Bricklayers patching the Translocator Engineering mod, and probably breaking this mod's translocator recipe. :(
And probably breaks the Translocator Engineering linker tool recipe as well.

💬 ArmandVestibule, Feb 25th at 3:39 AM

The current version of this mod seems to conflict with Bricklayers' current version on VS 1.20.3:

Grid Recipe with output Block code game:statictranslocator-normal-north contains an ingredient that cannot be resolved: Block code bricklayers:glasstile-normal-plain-white-down

💬 Apache, Feb 20th at 11:06 PM

I've just released Campaign Cartographer v4.3.0, which is now compatible with this mod.

💬 SpearAndFang , Feb 9th at 8:38 PM

Nebux
Thanks!
That was wildly unrelated to the changes I made earlier, but a new version will be up shortly.

💬 Nebux, Feb 9th at 7:39 PM

can't destroy translocator with a crowbar anymore in 1.5.5

💬 SpearAndFang , Feb 8th at 7:43 PM

Ouk

I saw that and downloaded it already Ouk. Much appreciated!
Now I just need to get off my ass and actually do something.

💬 Ouk, Feb 8th at 5:07 PM

Hi, I translated TE in to Czech lang. I posted here https://www.vintagestory.at/forums/topic/4557-translocatorengineering/ Would be my pleasure if you will use it. Thank you for the mod!

ElegantChimp
Sorry, I'm not interested in doing that.  Adding new functionality or content to any of the mods under my purview has been very very low on my list of priorities for a long time now.

💬 ElegantChimp, Jan 20th at 6:38 PM

Hello SpearAndFang, any interest in implementing something like the tool from Translocator Locator? I always have a lot of difficulty finding translocator, and when that mod was supported it was amazing. Regardless, great mod, excited to use it again in 1.20.

💬 SpearAndFang , Jan 8th at 3:16 PM

@Harun
I should be able to do that for the next release yeah.  I've added it to the list.

💬 Devengel, Jan 7th at 6:14 PM

SpearAndFang hey man, awesome mod, the translocator linker does not respect claimed translocators, can you fix that?

as in, it will link and synchronize translocators that are inside claims that you are not a part of.

i have tested it without admin role, in survival mode, in another person's claim.

💬 SalazarWindriver, Dec 14th 2024 at 9:50 PM

you are the best.

💬 SalazarWindriver, Dec 14th 2024 at 11:59 AM

Is there any chance of making the crowbar an item for sale at traders? kind it is kind of a pain to have to wait for end game to be able to move them around.

💬 wojtek16, Dec 2nd 2024 at 9:00 PM

Thanks for moving the linking tool to be in FOV, it makes life so much easier!

💬 SpearAndFang , Nov 2nd 2024 at 2:29 AM

Madrigal
right click should light up the linker.  shift-right click to clear it.

The latest release probably only works with 1.120.pre7 or newer.  maybe try an older version, especially if you are using game version 1.19.8

💬 Madrigal, Nov 1st 2024 at 10:40 PM

I think I'm doing something wrong, but the linker says I'm out of range, no matter how close I am. When I use the linker the screen just flashes, there's no buttons that light up.

💬 SpearAndFang , Oct 25th 2024 at 6:03 AM

RachelTGG
new version up...thanks!

💬 RachelTGG, Oct 24th 2024 at 5:32 PM

Here is the log

 

💬 SpearAndFang , Oct 3rd 2024 at 4:00 AM

NateDoesLife
I mean...I could probably change that, but I'd rather not.  This mod doesn't contain any code remotely close to that, it just uses the existing vanilla translocator code. 

💬 NateDoesLife, Oct 2nd 2024 at 11:47 PM

I noticed that the translocater seems to output you to the front left (looking away) when you use them. Is there anyway to make it so it outputs you directly in front of it. Just a small thing but I was getting put into walls due to it for some of mine. 

💬 SpearAndFang , Oct 2nd 2024 at 2:08 PM

Laerinok
Thank you once again!

💬 Laerinok, Oct 2nd 2024 at 11:13 AM

Hello,

this is the fr.json.

😉

💬 visidor, May 26th 2024 at 10:12 AM

What if there was a way to get a estimate of the location of the nearest generated translocator? Similar to the prospecting pick. For balancing this could cost Temporal Gears...

💬 Marshy, May 20th 2024 at 3:12 AM

Updating ConfigLib fixed it!

💬 SpearAndFang , May 18th 2024 at 3:13 PM

Marshy
hmmm. That almost looks like a permissions issue and that path is rather unexpected.
But what is more concerning is how old that version of configlib is.  Maybe try updating configlib to version 1.3.5 or newer.

💬 Marshy, May 17th 2024 at 9:25 PM

This mod loads fine on its own, but when I load it alongside ConfigLib and ImGui, I get the error:

Loaded Mods: translocatorengineeringredux@1.5.1, game@1.19.7, creative@1.19.7, vsimgui@1.1.3, survival@1.19.7, configlib@1.2.1

The odd thing is that after the crash, I can see that even from a totally clean ModConfig folder, it creates the .json for this mod and adds the contents:

{

  "AlwaysDropAllCrystalShards": false,

You are using the wrong version of the mod - for your game version you need mod version 1.4.7.

💬 SpearAndFang , Dec 8th 2023 at 3:14 PM

@Yelb
I do not know why 80% was chosen. But you can increase those to 100% by editing the modconfig. i.e.

"RecoveryChanceGateArray": 1.0, 
"RecoveryChanceParticulationComponent": 1.0

See the ModConfig section above for a bit more info

💬 Yelb, Dec 8th 2023 at 10:33 AM

Hello, why 80% and 100% ? This way we have some useless parts with nothing to do with, right ? Or what did i miss ? Do all 100% would be good enough, as you have to find the device first and have the right tools.

💬 LeSpatiocorne, Dec 3rd 2023 at 11:48 AM

It would be nice to have a way to recycle the parts that drop with 100% rate, 'cause in this state we can only get more and more part of these things without getting any usage of them due to the lack of other parts.

I really like the idea of having an additional use for the crowbar. I'll definitely give some consideration to this.  If nothing else, giving it the ability to quickly and easily remove clutter. Thanks.

💬 wildejackson, Oct 1st 2023 at 1:58 PM

I have a really good suggestion I have no idea how viable it is without resorting to using a DLL but if it is possible I would love for the crowbar to ensure a 100% pickup rate on the junk item blocks in ruins (like collapsed crates, barricades, ruined chandelier etc) Thanks for the mod BTW

SpearAndFang

I sent you a PR that fixes the issue with client linkers not using the distance from the server in a multiplayer environment.

💬 CanaDan, Aug 16th 2023 at 3:24 AM

SpearAndFang ok cool!

also a couple of cool ideas that may be worth exploring if they are easy enough.

the first is tool tips for either location or translocatior names. you might be able to add it to the metadata or something? im pretty sure that translocators can show their teleportation coordinates when you repare a translocator, so it may be relativly easy. for renaming, the player could right click with crowbar or something. idk im sure youll come up with a cool implimentation.

the second is a personal translocator; a small handheld item that costs a temporal gear to use, but it can be linked to a specific translocator. this is obviously a very large idea in comparison to the previous one, so totally understandable if you dont have time for it, or just arnt inturested. you are one person after all, and your time is limited.

the third and last idea is to be able to manipulate translocators to drop you off at specified locations instead of to another translocator. this would be an unstable ejection so the player may fall from the sky, appear underground, or otherwise possibly die. low chance, but still a possiblity. idk, this functionalility seems like a good wayto prevent abuse, but up to you. the intended use for this would be a quick and dirty, one way teleport, to any location on the map as long as it was in the general direction of the taget translocator.

@CanaDan
ok. I've added it to the to-do list for the next release.

💬 CanaDan, Aug 14th 2023 at 5:56 PM

would be great to have a modifyable value for the coalescence crystal as well.

Sure. I've made those changes for the newly released release.

💬 Meowsers, Aug 13th 2023 at 3:33 PM

Is there a config to change the drop chance of the Gate Array and Particulation Component? It'd be a nice feature to have

How is distance calculated? Manhattan?

💬 SpearAndFang , Jul 8th 2023 at 8:12 PM

New version up!  Had a pull request, decided to do a little more...

NEW: Crowbar now ground storable AND tool rackable
NEW: Link range configurable via modconfig file - thanks Peter Wedder (brndd) for the pull request!

ModConfig setting: "MaximumLinkRange": 8000
Delete existing %AppData%\VintagestoryData\ModConfig\TranslocatorEngineeringMod.json if neccessary to recreate it.

💬 Buggi, May 18th 2023 at 3:22 AM

Oh, interesting, that's why its not crashing on my win10 machine but is on the server. The server I use isn't technically mine, so not sure if the server owner would be open to installing base OS stuff on it.

💬 SpearAndFang , May 16th 2023 at 10:02 PM

@Buggi that *looks* like an issue with the .NET / Mono version on your server (I build with Net Standard 2.0, not Net Framework).

On Windows, update to NET Framework 4.8 or similar (it's part of the standard Win10 updates for example). On linux, update Mono.

Worst case scenario is follow the source link above, download the source, and rebuild with Net Framework. ugh.

sogesan
you have a version mismatch there I'm afraid. v1.4.0 is for the Vintage Story 1.18 pre-releases only.  You need to use v1.3.0 with your game version "Game Version: v1.17.11 (Stable)"

new release for 1.18.  For the brave and the bold. 

💬 SpearAndFang , Nov 6th 2022 at 3:55 PM

This: It becomes inactive and needs to be linked with the linker (or broken down)

💬 Tels, Nov 6th 2022 at 9:56 AM

Wonderful mod, having fun with it! 💯 Even Bricklayers will get compatibility for it :) Thank you!

One question: If you break apart an active translocator from a working (repaired vanilla) pair, what happens to the other end? Does it become just inactive again and needs to be linked with the linker (or broken down), or will it be in the unrepaired state and when you repair it, link to a random new TL?

💬 SpearAndFang , Jul 20th 2022 at 9:11 PM

Craluminum Maybe?  No?  I'm not interested in upgrading this mod - I'm only keeping it up-to-date for people who are looking for this functionality.

💬 DanaCraluminum, Jul 20th 2022 at 4:49 PM

Can crowbar be stored against wall like every vanilla tool since v1.17.0-pre.4 update?

💬 SpearAndFang , Jul 15th 2022 at 2:24 PM

FYI: I tested this mod with v1.17.0-pre.4 and it's still working.  Use v1.2.0 for v1.17.0-pre.5

💬 OmegaHaxors, Jul 15th 2022 at 11:05 AM

Clockmakers being able to set up their own teleporters would have been an amazing use of the class. This is the next best thing.

💬 SpearAndFang , Jul 2nd 2022 at 4:35 AM

Updated for 1.17.x
