Indeed, Matter-blocks are an expensive material. But maybe the mobile teleporter could consume Matter-blocks upon use? Like say if it somehow amplified the signal, or worked like a sort of protective layer for your body.
Yes, we need this. Or something similar, it is so damn tedious to find your way back up every time that it makes me not bother, instead I just surface skip what I need.
If matter blocks was fuel then in some ways it might be rarely used when you craft it; However if it is used for fuel then I would just suggest the initial crafting to be Tier 4 with Durasteel and a couple other things including cell material. I have been to 16 systems so far and have only come across 1 single matter machine. It is indeed rare, at least when you compare the other structures. hmm... If not Tier 4 at least in the 4-6 range, since that fuel would be a commodity rarely found. Of course also due to that would make it so someone would possibly think twice before using it.
Incorrect. Contractions don't have to be perfect contractions. In your example, it would be "Why can you not get me a beer?", not "Why can not you get me a beer?".
Usually people make... kind of ladders out of platforms. But... what's your point? Ladders don't have a whole lot to do with a teleportation device.
I'd say a "Magic Mirror" item like in Terraria is sorta pointless with the "Warp Home" option on the spaceship. A warp beacon would be much more useful imo
It actually isn't pointless if you think of what the basic thing the mirror does; just append to its' functions and make it a different portable item Like what I mentioned and been discussing primarily on page 3. In a way it would work with a beacon type item, especially the many ideas out there. The beacon is stationary, you have to place it for it to be used. At least the way I see things. Of course the only thing I do agree is that the name Magic Mirror doesn't fit, but the function itself would be quite useful if done right in the code; with restrictions or "balance".
So really what people are aiming at is: A holdable device (not called magic mirror) that can teleport you back to the surface, or a kind of device that you place down. But what about using it as a tech? you just go into your inventory and then click the tech possibly known as surface miners bane or whatever, press F and the tech returns you to the designated point of surface area that's straight up from you. (you press it and you go directly upwards until you reach surface)
actually the beacon thing I was referring to has multiple placements and be a lower tier item than the portable one. the portable com device has more function than the mirror, as in teleporting to surface spawn, or selecting a point where a beacon is placed. Traveling in an instant from place to place, as long as there is a beacon point to go to beyond the spawn point. It is basically beaming up from below ground. What I was discussing is the balancing factor, and the fact it would be a higher tier to begin with. 4-6 to be exact, with a initial build cost; and a hefty use cost. The matter blocks being the fuel. The portable device would bring up an interface to be able to select destination. having it as a tech only would be going to a single place from my understanding, which is not what I would be looking for in an item like this. If it was to be just a copy of the function, it would be a tech; but be a high tier one. Usually techs from what I have read, and the few that I have experienced have only one function. Correct me if I am wrong, as I have only gotten 5 different ones Tier 4 and below...
No, this sounds about right. Besides, techs so far only cost Stamina to cast, which in my opinion would be way too cheap for such a device.
Well yes I suppose that only a cost of energy would be cheap but this would be the tech that is rare and you would get only on higher tier planets. And for this it seems to me like the matter blocks as fuel for this device seems pretty pricey seeming how you usually rarely get matter blocks but I guess this problem could be solved if 1 matter block equals 1 teleport but I still think it might be to much of a hassle to just get a magic mirror-like device working.
Hm, Agreed, I have only found 30 so far, and I've played for a pretty long time. Perhaps the Matter is the rareness of matter blocks? Perhaps they could be achieved with other methods. Matter-blocks is only a suggestions, devs could easily replace it with something else that is less expensive.
Well that was what I was thinking in the suggestion, was 1:1 ratio for teleport, since those are really rare. I've only ever found 1 and it was in Tier 4 that I did find 1. lol As Sgt_Hankey said it really is up to the devs on how they go about it, if/when they add such an idea.
True the devs choose what is put in the game but this is in the suggestions thread, made for suggestions so it's our job to suggest what would be the most reasonable way of representing this idea and it's assets and how the idea can be weaved into the game so if the matter blocks are too rare and anything in-between ores and randomly generated items in chests or etc . So an ideal suggestion would be to make the available fuels available for use in the teleporter or to make another fuel the same potency (strength) as solarium but it's rarer and able to be used for both fuel in your ship and fuel to teleport to a designated area on a mini-map that appears when used. This might be a little annoying to find this fuel but it'd be a generally nice idea seeming how it's probably one of the easiest and least complicated ways of using fuel for this teleporter.
Hm, the teleporter Could work just like the Ship's Engine. But it would be kind of unrealistic to be able to power it with whatever random types of fuel you find. Because that would suggest that the hand-held teleporter device came with a whole power generator section. -Unless maybe the Ship's fuel was used during teleport? To boost the teleporter's strength. This I could be alright with, as long as it was expensive, and the teleporter could only be obtained in Late-tier. Though I still sort of think Fuel is easy and cheap to obtain. Or maybe a special one-use Energy Cell would have to be found in Chests? Of course, it should probably be less rare than finding an instrument (all kinds). Btw, why must you use Green-Text? Do you think your comments deserve special attention over everyone elses'? Colored text should only be used to intensify the meaning of Points in comments. In my humble opinion, of course.
true enough, I was only going by what is within the game as is. Since the closest to modding I could ever do is recipes for things... More reason that I sometimes don't mention new ores and the like that would go into a suggestion. Plus it is the easiest way to implement without having to add too much. That is where the community comes handy, in coming up with ideas to expand an idea, rather than a single person to just lay out "this is how I want it there is no changing it" attitude. I've seen that in other places, but that is not the case here thankfully. Despite the semi-contradiction of what I said; the more variety there is to the game the better. i like having options. having another ore or fuel might be needed depending on how it is all setup. Also one has to consider balance to the game itself when doing so, hence the one reason we were suggesting something already in game that is somewhat rare to begin with. To reduce the exploit of the entire system, or in a sense giving the idea to use sparingly effectively saying "should I use this at this time or should I just another time when I have more of it." There was a reasoning behind the devs making it so you couldn't just port' to ship from underground, and that is the reasoning we, or at least my agreement that such a material should be used. makes sense to me at least.
