Question on how this work with HomeBase
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3177448437

Edit: fast question instead lol ... can you return to the started base you make just after you complete tutorial ???

So i made a nice stone house and all the workbenches and refinery machines you can do in the very beginning of the game.

as screenshot shows, this area is just after tutorial and "are after info game give" a safe spot to make a base... so i did...

But now that i done what need to be done to move on from this area...
Does that mean i will have to make a new base to where i move on to ?

Does this starter base get abandoned? i loose all the resources i collected in it? '

Hope someone can answere as i will not go trough portal without know if i need to take the most valuble items (i looted and made from this area... Sure hope i can come back here!! so i do not need to carry everything with me all the time.. )

The realm with you stone pillar (forgotten the correct name) is set as your respite home realm and can´t be overriden. You can always port back from everywhere to this stone pillar on your map.

All other realms are temporary to visit for looting tours. You don´t need a base there, you can build one and you can back to them when you use the same card and difficult combination, but you can also reset this realms with the reset checkbox in the left bottom corner of your portal interface and all progress there is gone and you get a new generated map. The big checkbox on already opened portals are only to reset the portal not the realms.

Aslong as you built a cairn (the stone thingy) and set it as your respite, you can always press the Travel to Respite button on the map to return to it. It will be exactly as you left it, buildings/chests/workbenches etc

I'll try to explain how portals work lol.

So you are at your home base with your cairn set as your respite point, that will put the travel to respite on your map and you can travel back to it anytime you want from the map screen. Just to reinforce that function so you can always get back home.

Portals have 3 main functions
Open Portal - This will open a realm you haven't been to before.
Reopen Portal - This will open a realm you HAVE been to previously and its saved by the cards and difficulty you previously selected.
Reset Realm - This is a tickbox option in bottom left corner of the realm card machine and will completely wipe any previous realm you used the same cards with.

Example:
You play a Desert and Astrolabe Card on medium difficulty for the first time on realm card machine, you 'Open Portal' go through, loot/gather and return home to respite.
Then you play a Swamp and Astrolabe Card on medium, you again 'Open Portal' go through and loot/gather and return home to respite.
Now you want to go back to the Desert realm you were in before to finish things off, so you play a Desert and Astrolabe Card on medium for the second time, this time it will ask if you want to 'Reopen Portal' so you can go back to the exact same Desert/Astrolabe/Medium realm you were in before.
If you want a newly generated realm you can click 'Reset Portal' to break the active connection then the 'Reset Realm' tickbox option will be selectable and you can create a brand new Desert/Astrolabe realm which will then be your saved Desert/Astrolabe/Medium realm.

As long as you play the same combo of cards and difficulty, that specific realm will be your last visited realm and can always be revisited by playing the same cards and clicking 'Reopen Portal'.

This also works on player built portals, personally I have 3, 1 for each biome, so i can revisit old realms and/or progress through the game easier. You could even keep 1 player crafted portal just for a second base as it remains actively linked to the realm your second base would be in, just dont play any new realm cards on that specific portal.
Personally if I was doing a second base, I would do that but I would also reserve a combo of cards just for the second base realm too, for example Forest Herbarium on easy difficulty for a farming base, and never play a Forest/Herbarium/Easy on any other portal, that way if the portal gets unlinked for any reason, I can still replay the same cards/difficulty and still get to my farming base.

oh. this explained everything i was wondering.. thanks for the all the work typeing this down :) ill give you a reward on it:)

So i can with understanding what you type.. to change main base.. or "Home" relm i only need to click the estate stone and save return to this from map.. .. all good:)

Also i understand that have many bases will not really work unless you make own portal.. something i did not even know was possible before you type it:9 .. cool

thanks again

Even already opened Portals can completely reset the realm they are connected to. I just lost everything in a Forest realm despite me not changing a thing on the portal. Game is broken right now.

i see
just hope my first realm stays safe.. i not change from that even once...

this bug is if you have a base that is not set as home estate? at a own realm ?

Yep, the estate stone needs to built AND interacted with so it sets it as your respite point (you can only ever have 1 respite point at a time and they must always be in an Abeyance realm).

And yes, you can have multiple bases due to how the portal saving works, as they are saved individually based on the cards and difficulty you select.

Yes there is a bug currently, but it doesn't change how portals work and is not affecting everyone. Plus if it does happen (which it did to me) the devs put up a form in News you can fill in to get your respite point and base restored.

There is a small bug at the moment. Devs said it affected only about 240 people, and things have been implemented to prevent it from happening now.

Some other tips:

Do NOT dismantle your cairn (permanent respawn point), or build more then one.

It IS possible to move already built items in the game. Press X and then R to pick it up and move it around. Your cairn is an item, like a crafting station, not a permanent building part like a wall or a foundation. It can be moved.

If your home realm is in a specific biome + abeyance combo, then you need to make sure you never open a new portal to that _same_ combination and hit "reset realm" tickbox. That would wipe the realm where your base is located. I think this is actually the source of some of the people who "lost their base". They didn't understand what that was going to do.
