Question

Hello!

I've been playing with the tesseracts a lot over the last few weeks and we've run into a bit of an issue. However, I found this issue and your response which has helped me understand how to work around it: #15

Myself and the testers were unaware the best way to connect in/out of the tesseract was to use a chest before the pipes. I think my only concern with that method of item transfer is the lack of information to the players. Once they understand a chest needs to be in between it makes works perfectly. Is there any way you'd be able to add information about needing chest to help players out? Or, forgive my lack of knowledge, can the tesseract act as a chest instead of needing another block placed next to it? I'm not sure how possible that is or if that's something you'd be willing to check out. Either way, I'd like to help out players who may run into this issue and think it's a bug.

Thanks!! :D

I've decided to add a screen with an explanation about the tesseract which can be accessed by an extra button in the tesseract's interface. I will explain the need for an inventory when transferring items in the additional screen.

The other option was indeed to make the tesseract into some kind of chest, essentially a buffer. However, I would have to add some way to manually view and access the buffer, and a buffer would limit the throughput of items.
I feel like this option would require more work, and I just don't like the idea of limiting throughput.

I don't have too much time at the moment because of school, so it might be a while before I actually add the information screen.
