Remote Temperature (Tmpi & Tmpo)

    So, to make temp. a lot easier to transfer, we should have remote temperature. There would be a in-type and out-type similar to portal, and it would have channels, also similar to portal. The median of the temperature of the pixels directly around the in-type would cool/heat all of the pixels directly around the out-type the to the median.

    +1,+/-0, -1?

    im not really sure about it...

    any uses?

    A ton!!! It instantly transfers heat - It has all of the uses of an instant temp conductor plus the fact that it is remote!

    Pointless, already can be and has been done. Used in many saves already, here's a demo:

    I know that, but those are not strong enough for extreme temps... My idea wouldn't cool down the input like yours does, and it would be 100% efficient, where as that is about 50% efficiency...

    This is because my idea is a 1-way heat transfer, but yours is a 2 way which allows for 50% efficiency and an inability to transfer extreme temps...

    that's a great idea! now we can have more efficient and less time consuming reactors! +1

    That is my main reason (my reactors take 1 min to start and get hot, but like 10 min to heat the big heating cable to the water)

    It can be done already using normal elements. 100% efficiency is not required if you're only using like one particle, and the cooldown is obviously expected because remote heat would share particles.

    It isn't required, its just useful to have it 100% efficient!

    EDIT: How about someone codes it, then shows us it?
