When I was looking for information about the teleporter I saw on this page (http://ftbwiki.org/Teleporter_%28Mekanism%29) that it says that it only uses 404 RF instead of using the proper calculation. I tested this with the latest versions and it still holds true, regardless of distance or crossing dimensions. It also uses the same amount when I use a Mekanism Energy Cube, ~1000 J. The portable teleporter however does cost more with distance/dimension when I tested it.

Merged with #1764.

My question on this is, does the teleporter need to be chunk loaded? Sometimes while I am in a different dimension or far away, my portable teleporter goes offline or sometimes it stays online and I still can't teleport. It's on and off. I use the same passkey but sometimes it just seems to stop working. This just started happening in the latest version, Mekanism 7.1.1.96 didn't happen in .95.

You definitely need to chunk load the receiving teleporter. I believe you also need to visit the dimension you want to visit at least once a session before it'll teleport you there. Although on a server, I don't know if that's every time you log in, or every time the server restarts. Either way, it's inconvenient.
