move estate?

[DrwHem]

if i wanted to, could i move my estate to a non- abeyance realm? or maybe a different abeyance realm?
im a bit annoyed i cant upgrade my house without tearing it down. if im going to have to go thru that much wasted effort anyways, i may as well build a new house.

right now dont bother moving since itll port you back to the first place you put a estate down till they patch it later on

If you got lost, make sure to craft a few of estate card you are currently in. The one you wanted to move. Open the portal will take you there. I ran in to this problem a few time. The game always place me in the first realm when I started the game after finishing the tutorial. But safer than sorry for later. Make yourself an estate card the realm you just moved in.

No, you can't move it to a non-abeyance realm. You can create the estate cairn in a non-abeyance realm but you cannot set it to be your respite. It's not 100% useless though as just building the estate cairn still gives it the creature suppression. So if you wanted a "safe" space you could certainly build in a non-abeyance realm you just won't have the "return to respite" ability from anywhere to that location.

Also you can’t go back to your tutorial realm.

You can create a base in any realm but you can only have 1 respite and it must be abeyance realm.

For private realms you will always go to the realm that was created when you first went to that combination of cards.

In the portal device UI in the bottom left hand corner is a check box that will erase that realm if you put in the same combo of cards. This will give you a new procedural generated realm. So long as you don't check that box you will always go to the same realm with those cards.

I'm guessing any bases you have in that realm will be wiped if you do select to generate a new realm and that will be the new default realm for that combination of cards until you use that checkbox again.

As long as you don't check that box your base in the non-abeyance realms will remain perfectly fine. I still use my base I set up in the second realm as my main base.

For public realms it is random every time from my understanding.

Short of a bug (that usually seems to involve multiplayer or the Watch) that's not 100% accurate. It will port you to where your respite is set to. Just creating a new estate cairn doesn't set that respite point automatically (except maybe if you've removed your original one first). I always set my respite point first in the new location just for safety's sake. I've moved my respite point several times now including to the desert. I've never had an issue with it teleporting me back to where I've set the respite.

Are you talking about the abeyance realm(s)? Sure you can go back to them. If you haven't specifically clicked the reset realm box (not the reset portal button) you can create an abeyance card and the biome card and your abeyance realm will be as you left it. If you've changed the difficulty of a realm you've opened at some point, you'll need to make sure the difficulty of the portal matches what you originally had it set to or the abeyance realm will be different. But as long as you set the difficulty and biome to the same abeyance and you haven't reset the realm, it'll be the same. You'll know it's "matched" to your previous realm when it says Reopen Portal instead of Open Portal.

When I had first moved my estate to the desert biome I set a portal back to the forest and briefly had a moment of regret as it was completely different. Then I remembered I had changed my difficulty to hard instead of medium and it remembers the diff setting. I changed it back to medium, crafted a new abeyance and forest card, and it changed to Reopen. And it was exactly as I had left it.

If you click that "reset realm" button when opening a portal to your original realm, you are indeed SOL.

EDIT#47: What Ghevd said. Took so long to type all that and jump back and forth between the game that I didn't see someone else already replied

Dumb question: What is the *purpose* of moving your estate from one abeyance realm to another? The aesthetic change from say, forest to swamp, I get that. But what would be the result of changing the difficulty?

Pretty sure difficulty affect a few things:
1) tower of power difficulty (have not tested that this is the case)
2) Sets the default difficulty for when you open a portal.
3) Could possibly affect enemy level in your abeyance (no idea on this either).

Maybe someone knows, I've seen #2 to be true though. Doesn't matter much. Seems like you can change it and then it seems to use whatever difficulty you last used.

Is there a way to see what difficulty my current abeyance realm is already set to?
