portal stops working after i rename it

so i made a new portal to try and find new swamp areas... but the new area also had a plains area so i changed the name of the portal to "swamp plains" and the thing died on me, it says disconected now... i would go to the other side of the planet to make it by hand again but it was a nigthmare to go there on the first place i swear the wind is always against me and 5 monsters appear on the water as soon as i touch it lol
i wonder if this is a bug or maybe i should rename both sides of the portal before it works again i dont remember doing that to the old ones

Both portals need to have the same tag; so you'll need to rename it back to what it was.

What you can do to change the name as well, is to build a new portal at either your home or at the swamp-plains. Give this new portal the new name, then go through the old portal, and change the name of the portal at the other location. It will then connect to the new portal you built.

Only two portals can be connected and they both have to have the same tag. Therefore:
- If you have one portal in your base called X and you make a portal somewhere else and call it X they'll be connected. If you change the later portal to Y they'll be disconnected.
- If you have 2 portals tagged as X and you open a new one and tag it X as well, the latest two to be tagged will be connected and the first will be disconnected.
- Tags are case sensitive.
- Tagless portals connect with each other as if the tag was no tag, but the same rules of having a tag apply.
- Connections take a few seconds to apply.

Both sides need to match.

You can change one and step through it fast to rename them.

Just change the name back and let it reconnect then change it and step through it right away and rename the other side.
