1: they're faster, they transfer items at 1 per tick, far faster than the speed of a vanilla hopper, and with a piece of glowstone dust, transfer at 1 STACK PER TICK, that's 20 stacks per second! (for reference an autarchic gate transfers 1 item per SECOND, and a diamond autarchic gate transfers 1 stack per second, so these are 20 times faster, and require a glowstone rather than a diamond to upgrade to max speed
2: they filter, an autarchic gate and emerald pipe can do that, but slower, and thanks to another property of the translocators, you can say exactly where you want them to go, so whilst an emerald pipe lets you say "pull out these", you cannot say "pull out these and put them here" translocators can, and it's a lot cheaper to make than an emerald pipe.
3: They Regulate. That Is All. (ok, being serious, they allow you to say "pull out this many of this item and place them here", that allows up to 45 types of items able to be regulated (9 per translocator, 5 translocators can be put into regulate mode). it costs 1/9th of a diamond (that you get back when you break the translocator), but hey, regulate mode without RP2.
4: Liquid translocators are incredible, if less flexible, unlike liquiducts that have a minimum of 2 blocks and a redstone signal to output with blocks that don't auto-output to pipes, translocators need only one, I managed to get my squeezer setup to process honey, seed oil, and fruit juice in 5 blocks (one for the squeezer, three for endertanks, one for the translocators) and my genepool outputs to an endertank in three blocks rather than 5 (pool, translocator and tank, rather than pool, two liquiducts, tank, and a redstone block)
5: they allow liquid junctions and separation/merging in one block. get 5 tanks of something, place them around a cube of 6 transloactors, set 5 to output and one to input, place a tank on the one set to input, all the liquid is now in that tank. the opposite is true as well, reverse the settings, place down a full tank, and soon you'll have 5 tanks all with a roughly equal amount of liquid.
6: they work beautifully with enderstorage. with enderstorage, all of your item transport has a fixed cost and speed, no matter the distance, it will take 1 tick to transfer a stack to the enderchest, 0 to transport it to all linked enderchests, and another tick to pull it out. that works over all distances and has a maximum speed of n+1 ticks (where n is the number of stacks you want to transfer) (I'm not sure how fast the liquid translocators move liquid, but compared to a long liquiduct, it's most likely a lot faster to go with 4 transposers and 2 endertanks)
7: it looks cool (sorry, couldn't resist)
so, before anyone says "oh they're useless" read this and think to yourself "is there really nowhere I could use this?", to name a few, increase the size of your quarry's buffer by outputting from an enderchest to a diamond chest, auto-void cobble and dirt by connecting one to a void chest and telling it to send cobble there instead of the diamond one, hell, make a system that will keep 20% of the cobble until it gets backlogged. make a vanilla autosmelter/sorting system in a 3*3 area for when you get back from mining, or even just turn a diamond chest into the ultimate hopper. these things are insanely simple, and that makes them potentially incredibly powerful, you just need to think where you can use them (and hell, if nothing else, they beat the old wooden pipe/autarchic gate and 2 liquiduts/redstone block setups in speed and compactness)
https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/1gkn2o/translocators_are_pretty_cool/In general order of dimlets does not matter except with one thing:
Material and Liquid dimlets are modifiers and they must come BEFORE what you want to modify (terrain or feature). So if you want a terrain made out of gold blocks you use:
Other then that order is not important.

Ender IO by CrazyPants_MC - (3.0.1.144_beta > 3.1.156)
- Added protection against invalid itemStacks from farming.
- Added some integration with Tinkers.
- All metals from the mod can now be smelted and made in the smeltery.
- Added a Dark Steel Grinding Ball Cast.
- Added Molten Redstone, Glowgas (Glowstone) and Liquidfied Ender Pearls to Tinkers' Smeltery, so alloys can be properly made on it.
- Liquidfied Ender Pearls placed on world will teleport entities away (as Resonant Ender used to do in 1.7).
- Added Ardite and Cobalt dust, can be smelted with any regular furnace into ingots.
- Manyullyn can now be made in the Alloy Smelter (1 Cobalt Ingot + 1 Ardite Ingot + 10.000 RF = 1 Manyullyn Ingot and some XP)
- Ardite and Cobalt could already be grinded in the SAG Mill, but now they have a chance of dropping netherrack.
- Six EnderIO's Obsidian Dust will turn into one block of Molten Obsidian, as to avoid a Dupe Exploit with the SAG Mill (As with dark steel balls the Mill will give 6 dust per block, instead of just 4).
