Yes! Adding this to the list immediately. I'll be streaming with it very shortly.

Any known issues with multiplayer? I play solo, but for those out there that don't I figured I'd ask.

I have not tested

[sporefreak]

Would it be possible to add a maximum range? I dont like how easy it would make exploring really far. Great idea though

The entire reason I made this mod was to not have a maximum range, also that is why it cost so much to make.

[GameCharmer]

Everything was working great, placing new beacons, teleporting around, awesome stuff. Then I saved, quit, came back, and while I can place more beacons, they won't add to the list, so they're effectively useless.

Update. I had the teleport box open when I saved and came back. The box was still open with prior beacons listed. After closing the box by hitting the main teleport button, I lost my original beacon but can place again. Essentially, on load, all prior beacons were forgotten.

I will look into this now.

I have corrected the error and updated it you should be good now. sorry for that.

Wow. Really cool mod for end game. Because even using several exoskeletons and using roads the movement even inside the base is still too slow. This mod is a expensive cost, but completely solve this problem. Thank you.

Tanks for the feed back, yeah still working on balancing would love to hear your feedback.

[ZombieMooose]

definitely keeping an eye on this one

good idea

[GameCharmer]

For balancing, I'd love to see the beacons act as massive one-way accumulators that reset to 0 on use. Soak up 1G of power, then dump it all when someone teleports in. Might be doable with a hidden entity or something.

Very cool mod.
I noticed that the transporter Beacon charges itself, but then never discharges. Is it normal ? What is the logic ? What is this accumultated energy used for ?

Yeah that was an oversight by me, the next update in the next week or so will fix that. I am thinking that it will use about 1/4 of the power it can hold.

Yes, good idea ! the departure should consume power on your intern armor teleporter, and the arrival should consume power on the destination teleporter. All this cannot be free

It does consume power from the internal armor teleporter.

It does consume power from the internal armor teleporter.

Yes, I saw that by repeating teleport too much

Hmm, the problem GameCharmer mentioned still persist apparently, when i exit the game and reenter, all the saved beacons disappear, so the ones placed become useless

*Edit
Game version is 0.12.30, and I downloaded the latest mod version
