Inter-Dimensional Communication

I am running the mod "Galacticraft" (along with CC), and I am building a space station (it's own dimension). I want to have a way to use a computer (on the space station) to put items into the cargo loader (a plain old inventory. Could use turtle.drop() etc.) back in the overworld. Is the only way to do this with wireless redstone with different frequencies sending different items? (I would use that to launch the cargo rocket anyways, so it wouldn't be an issue.) Is there any way to do this without wireless redstone?
Thanks!

Cross dim communications isn't possible with regular CC no. But you can transmit messages with wireless redstone. I did this ages ago just for fun, basically you have to set it up to work the same way a computer works with 1s and 0s. 0 being off, 1 being on obviously. I still have the program for doing this if you're interested.

I would love to see your program.

Put a sender on the right and back sides of the sender computer, and the same with receivers on the receiving computer

I don't know if this is still working, but Sxw have created the ZombieNet and I've tested a little time ago and it worked. You can also try to use it, but now you need to enable the domain "zn.fluidnode.com" in the configs

I think you could use enderchests, especially the ones from BuildCraft. Drop floppy disks back and forth and it should work.

First, is the EnderStorage enderchest.
Second, you'll need a Chunk Loader in your base, and that consumes a lot of RAM depending of the Size of the Space needed to be loaded.
Third, although hard to build, if done right will be a nice multi-mod based Inter-Dimensional Communication system.

Oh, okay. I was thinking like WR Freq. 1 means "send stone", WR Freq. 2 means "send wood", etc. Much simpler. I am sure that your way would work too. :)/> Thanks!

OH wait. Now that I look at the code it seems much simpler. But what goes on what sides again?

OH wait again. I see. Thanks! This will be really helpful. Should I just give credit to "CometWolf" in the YT video?

EDIT: Also, what should I call it?

EDIT: (making a how to build a space station series ;)/>)
