Portable teleport feels too janky (I hope the Devs can improve it)

It would be better if we had an extra button for its functions so we had better control to turn it On and Off when placed. The teleport behaviour feels too random using it to the point it's not fun to use (when we are rushing around)

I'll try to explain, I sometimes pick up resources and go past the teleport gets in the way by teleport me (when I didn't want to), teleport getting picked up with my near by resources and when leveling it up to teleport resources it was tricky and frustrating to get it to teleport the resources. (I use a xbox controller if that's useful to know)

Great game by the way I enjoying it and will be telling my friends to buy it.

The teleporter has been a problem since forever, sadly. The issue arises from the pickup and use button being on the same key. You can bind them to different keys to solve it, but it makes other things not feel as good.
There are some "hidden" mechanics that can help you too. If you hold the pickup button and start to pick up resources, you can savely move across and over the portal - it will not be picked up. Pickup locks to the type of the "carryable".

We will do another round of improvements when we get around to doing another update centered around gadgets. I think some small QoL things will already help a bit, like being able to cancel a teleportation.

Ok thanks

As a player, I can say that this is a matter of skill. I've been playing with teleport for a long time, and I've learned not to make mistakes when I need to pick up a teleport instead of teleporting. It is the matter of time.
The only problem with the teleport is that it is too slow and inferior to the elevator in prestige mode :)

Also maybe it the teleporter was fully upgraded from the start when you get it that would be better (gameplay wise). With a toggle option to teleport the player or just the items on the teleport as a switch attached.
