This is the answer. The tag is just a unique marker for that portal, but you can put a sign on the wall behind the portal (which actually looks cool AF) which says whatever you want.

A serial number for tags, signs for common language.

That's one way to do it! But I suggest centering the signs behind the portal, looks cool especially once it's ringed with energy.

never encountered this issue maself.

"ThisCoolPlaceWithAllTheTreesICantChopThatOfferIronScrap"

Sounds legit, but "Swamp" does the trick too

this.

Yeah it "does the trick" but I set each portal to the name of the place its at and I dont title my stuff "swamp" "plains" etc. Its a story. its building a culture. For instance the place I first made contact with, and tamed a wolf, I wanted to call "Fenrir's Bargain" But nope. Cant even come close to doing that. A place where I had completed a long and perilous journey to a new foothold where I established a desperate and piked defensive stronghold. I call this "Thornreach" but Id prefer to call it something less cramped. "Swamp" may work for you pleibs but Im trying to have a cohesive thing going here. Also theres literally no reason not to. Its not like anyone is forced to have a longer tag.

generally idiots hurt themself with random stuff and complain to devs
so devs cut some stuff where people could hurt themself to decrease amount of spam



also in the code, the sign *seems to have* limit of 50 chars
but the portal itself seems to have no limit o-O unless it uses sign code lol

Edit:
Found it, teleport has limit of 10 chars
Class: public class TeleportWorld : MonoBehaviour, TextReceiver, Hoverable, Interactable
Method: public bool Interact(Humanoid human, bool hold)

Code:Just replace the "10" at the end with whatever limit you want

I use numbers and just put on a text board and add text to where it leads instead.

Trader
Garden
Wolf

YOu can now riddle which portal leads to which place

mark your portals on the map with its name.

it's 10 chars, so i guess you won't be able to add X Y 12345 there ;D

to be honest, i cant remember ever needed such a portal

ye, it's just called "plains" ;D

I have a system where portals from my my first base are A1, A2 and A3. Portals from second base that dont connect to first, are B series, and so on. When I find the trader, I build a portal hub with T1-10 and every settlement gets a T-series portal.

Then I use the text signs the game lets you build to actually label the portals with the common names I give for my settlements, piers and other points of interest.
