(Base Building Fun) 'Random Access Portals'

[Fennec]

A concept for the lovers of building bases who tire of the office but want a place that doesn't crowd with items every reset:
The RAP device could could be a blueprint we find that, when constructed and deployed, makes a pair of the pylon-like things used for creating portals by using a 'GATE Portal Hijacker' device one can craft (1 device per portal creation)

When entered, it takes the user to a 'hijacked GATE perforation exit'. This is a smallish, isolated zone that is described as being an exit considered useless for their research or formerly was used until a better place was found. These isolated areas are sizable for base building, have at least 2 plugs in them (from the GATE panels found in other portal worlds) and may have enemies skulking about.

The entire point is to make them ideal for various base building locations with different vistas, but otherwise have no real 'use' except maybe for gathering materials (which would be hard since it's randomized)

Locations concepts like:
-A scenic beachside research platform overlooking a vast and alien ocean
-The top of a building in another area of Flat Hill, maybe with some of the inside of the building explorable
-A too-perfect looking outdoor park that always has a blue sky but something unnerving looming on the horizon
-An underwater research pod at the bottom of a lightless ocean
-Other parts of the GATE facility that are isolated due to damage
-A jungle clearing with a GATE research building in it and a fence around it
-Another part of the city the Furniture Store is in, surrounded by zombies at all times
-An Order command base that's been abandoned for some reason

Maybe either they're nearly empty or when 'resets' happen, they aren't affected? Just an idea. It might be fun to play with taking some of peoples' favorite base locations or weirder ones and making RAP areas out of a similar concept but with a different backdrop or something. Could also have more lore things in them!

Living in a pocket dimension would be really funny. This might actually be a good idea for an IS object someone can carry around, making for a mobile base of sorts.

I could see that. but maybe not able to be carried around easily. Probably very heavy and needs a lot of power. That way people aren't just lugging it EVERYWHERE without consequences of taking up a lot of their weight.

I would love this, sounds like a great way to enjoy the base-building aspect and not just be stuck in the same room all the time!
