Usage

Transferring items

Items can be transferred between the Tardis exterior and interior using pipes or cables from other mods such as:

• Buildcraft pipes
• Xnet cables

Requirements:

• Item transferring pipes or cables from external mods
• Input container block placed in the Tardis interior such as a chest. This is where the player places items to be transferred to the exterior

 

Using Buildcraft Pipes

Interior Setup

1. In the Tardis interior, place down a container block such as a chest. This will be the input source.
2. Place down an Electric Interface Panel in the interior at least 3 blocks away from the container block
3. Attach a Wooden Pipe to the container block so that it will extract items from the container block
4. Place an engine such as a Redstone Engine or higher to the Wooden Pipe
5. Place a power source next to the engine.
6. Connect a Stone or equivalent pipe to the Electric Interface Panel.
7. Place items into the chest

Exterior Setup

1. Connect a Wooden Pipe to the top block of the Tardis Exterior
2. Place an engine such as a Redstone Engine or higher to the Wooden Pipe
3. Place a power source next to the engine.
4. Place a container block at least 3 blocks away from the Tardis exterior. This is the output source.
5. Items should now transfer from the input container into the output container.

Notes:

• Multiple chests can be fed into the same Interface Panel
• Multiple output setups can be used on the exterior

 

Using XNet Cables

Interior Setup

1. In the Tardis interior, place down a container block such as a chest. This will be the input source.
2. Place down an Electric Interface Panel in the interior at least 3 blocks away from the container block
3. Attach any Xnet coloured connector to the container block.
4. Attach a connector cable to the Electric Interface Panel using the same coloured cable as the previous cable.
5. Place down a Xnet Controller block and connect it to the Panel-Container block network.
6. Place an power source next to the Controller and connect it to the network

Exterior Setup

1. Place a container block at least 2 blocks away from the Tardis exterior. This is the output source.
