I use a sign for each address and they're all next to my base portal. Occassionally I've accidently become stranded if you jump through too quilckly but I'v made a spare character that lives on a boat to drop it back to pick up my main

i prefer a big wizard tower full of arcane portals to the ends of the world at the center of my base. looks neat and its a great way to use up my stone i amass.

If you encounter a town with hostile enemies and you discovered a portal that they built, it might lead to their origin.

Considering the devs do not even want the portal in game I doubt your idea will come to be. Personally I like the current system.

Then they need to fix your move speed so the higher your run skill the faster you move. Ark is the gold standard for how stat allocation should be handled in survival games.

You do realize that you're responding to a 15-month-old post, right? It isn't even accurate - ONE of the two main devs didn't want portals, the other wanted unrestricted portals, and they compromised on metals-restricted portals.

I know what you're suggesting, but the game already has the ability to create portals.

For example, in our server, we have six portals that go to different locations around the world. They all go to the same location within spawn. I think having a hearthstone type of mechanic is nice, but alas, 'too easy'. The game makes it so you have to travel to the location to build a portal and I personally prefer that mechanic more.

I believe a mod for this exact thing exists already on nexus mods. Might try there.

Yep saw a few months ago exact this mod

No idea if it still works:

At least not working well on dedicated servers/multiplayer.

Set up a minimum of 2 portals @ your base. 1 has no name and is your temp portal when you go exploring etc. while carrying a portal with you in your inventory. The second one is your dial portal that is kinda like stargate where you can travel to all your portals by dialing in their name. You really don't need anything else. You can have a third one that is named that you will use when you encounter one of your portals in the field that is not currently dialed in if you want to go home. Setting up new portals without hassle is using the small delay a portal has when you change their name.

Yeah makes sense, would be a nice qol

i have a "dial a portal" system at my main base.
two portals; one is always nameless and unlinked. the other i name as to where i want to teleport.
beside the portals i have a section of wall filled with signs with the names of all my worlds portals.
just change the portal name to where you want off the list and away you go.
the unlinked portal will always connect to any new portal you build so its a quick way to return home. just need to carry portal parts with you when youre exploring new territory.
probably got about 20 names portals at the minute that cover all my explored world so far.

I use Any Portal on my dedicated server. It works great in a coop non pvp environment.

I just leave a portal symbol on the map with it's name. Though If you have like 20 portals I could see how a list at the dial up portal would be nice.
