Spooky Item Transportation #103

Just a funny idea I had; not sure if it would fit in the mod. Still had to share!

What kind of mod would this be if we didn't have an item transportation system? Never fear, item transport ghosts are here! These fellows will help deliver your items with spooky speed.

Mechanics: The base of this system revolves around a new block (we'll call them pedestals). 2 of these blocks can be linked to each other with an item (linking wand for now). They are around the size of a slab and have one marked output side on them.

A ghost travels between the two pedestals when linked. When an item is placed on top of the pedestal, the ghost will pick it up and deliver it to the other pedestal. On delivery, the item drops out of the output side of the pedestal.

By upgrading the ghost (which is done by clicking either pedestal with an upgrade item), you can increase the speed of transportation and the number of stacks the ghost can carry. Upgrades drop when the second pedestal in a link is broken.

Pedestals don't have to be in LOS to operate; as long as they are within the max distance the ghost can travel (and a route exists), the ghost will take it. Range upgrades & wall-phasing (to prevent having to go around walls and such) can be used as well.

Visuals: The ghost is around 1.5 blocks tall and is mostly transparent.
