Teleporter
Is there any info on how to use the teleporter as I've used it only once succefully. Can it be used to teleport across the lava canyons?

Yes, the teleporter is explained in your library. You need two metal surfaces.

I already have the teleporter so once I have the two metal surfaces I can teleport to any location?

You open one portal at one point, a second on the other. Then you step through one side and land at the other.
The only restriction is: a portal only opens on metal surfaces.

Ok thanks

How far do teleporters reach? The cursor doesn't really give an indication, it just subtracts charges and fails. I tried shooting the first portal at a structure (broken Mad Max hemispheres on the horizon) and the countdown never started. Of course I don't know whether the structure was made of metal...

They reach around 70 meters. A good indication whether a portal opened or not is the countdown display.

Danke, dass Ihr Entwickler hier Fragen beantwortet :D

I'm aware that I'm bumping an old topic, but I want to make an on-topic observation. When the player targets a surface that doesn't contain enough metal (I think that's required), the ship voice should say something like "You need to target a metal surface."
I completely gave up on the teleporter and reached the target destination without it after a big up-hill struggle, but now there's no longer a marker where to go. I think I have to go all the way back to the other side, and then teleport to the side I'm currently at for the game to understand the story should progress.
It's a bit painful.

hey uh anyone have an issue when using the teleporter in the "wreck" part of the game. cuz whenever i teleport the two switches that i have to activate i cant activate them because when i activate the one and go through the portal everything is trying to load in instead of staying open. like as the timer runs down for the switch i pull the other ones loading in by the time it shuts off! like what the hell is going on and how do i fix this
