What is this? [Haven't played for 3 months]

What is that little teleporter thing? Do they finally have a way to get back to the surface?
Also, can someone fill me in on all the little things like this that they added?

 

Would be better with more context. Seems like a regular teleporter recolored green.

 

What exactly is a teleporter? Does it take you back up to the surface?

Also: Can ships be upgraded now? Or is that sill being worked on?

 

Can't say I have ever seen that before, looks more like somebody dug down past the magma line.

There has been a few bug fixes and changes here and there, can be found if you look back over the news posts.

Not yet

 

That's the bottom of the map, right under a relatively thin layer of lava.

There's a teleporter in every ship, it's your spawn point on the ship. I assume you haven't played starbound?
And no. Ship upgrades will come at a later time. It's being worked on.

 

No i have played starbound: 80 hours actually.
I thought by teleporter you meant an actual item that you can craft, as an alternative to get up to the surface when you mine instead of committing suicide.

 

That's a part of Razorbase, Razorcase's home base. He did dig down past the magma line, the green teleporter is part of a mod called Planetside Teleporters, you can place those teleporters wherever you like on the planet and load them with custom coordinates. You can expand your ship using a mod called Fully Customizable Ship (FCS), which is also around here somewhere.

 

Oh ok they are mods, thanks for replying

 

You should look into the FCS mod if you are interested in customizable ships, since it's 100% compatible with multiplayer.

 

You don't need to commit suicide to get back to your ship. Just Save and Quit and when you return, you are back in your ship. No pixels lost, either.

 

OH Dunto you silly goose.
