Honestly I see almost no Value in restricting us from teleporting ores. The only reason I think its there is to pad game time and make the game feel longer by making us play Deaths Stranding with our ore hauls.

1: We already have to explore and move farther out to even set up a teleporter in the first place.

2: the Challenge of this isnt really a challenge and more of a tedium, im alright with giving us a challenge to work for stuff but this is more just tedious chore work and a time eater for no real value. Boat trips are non eventful and nothing happens durring them. and unlike smelting ores which is also an activity involved with waiting, at least durring that you can do other things. but as of right now, Boat travel is auto piloting a mount back to base for 20+ minutes

3: If you are afraid of people getting ores back to base to fast then make it so you cant build teleporters and they are found in the world and you make an item that links to teleporters together. This way it incentives Exploration still while also making teleports actually useful.

4: also if you are afraid of people getting ores to fast then don't allow world hopping, because as of right now its more efficient to boot up a new world run to an ore farm it, log out and log back in other server in your base and put ore in chest. so why not just let people teleport ores?

5: Honestly Just add a server toggle when making a server. allow players to choose tp ores or not, everyone wins
