"YOU ARE TOO FAR AWAY"

[Daj mi Mydło]

♥♥♥♥♥ IM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ PORTAL WHY THE ♥♥♥♥ ITS NOT WORKING?

[MarissTea]

It's the same for me as well, time to wait seven years for that to get fixed

do you have mods that change the map? or change the character popet in anyway. it seems like the pos is incorrect and so it can't find a path to the portal, usually happens when either somthing is in the way or a placed item is or a mod that changed some terain and shifted the map in the proccess "usually by mistake"

ps: you could try all over the place to get to the portal, who knows its only a smal bit screwed out of place... then again it could be half a map away "and i don't actually mean the objects but the entire map shifted so the cords are not where they need to be kinda problem.

The "you are too far away" message means "you are not at the right distance." You could be too close, too far away, or off to the right or left. I've never seen it with a Teleportory Stone, but have gotten it on the Thaumaturgy Bench, Sacrifical Stone, Circle of Power, and Guardian Assembly Station.

It can also mean that you are not standing in the correct position.

I find the Transportory stones work much better if I zoom into first person.

I believe there is a distance component to the corruption you receive from the portal. Perhaps you are at a distance where the corruption damage would be 100%? Try to see if putting a portal in between helps. There is still a massive penalty for multiple uses in a short time, but that can be mitigated with a performer thrall at the site and a wait for the cool down. 5 minutes is still better than a long run.

Same, I've only ever had this be a problem if I'm in third person. If I switch to first person, and am standing in the middle, it always works for me. As an added benefit, first person makes aiming at the right stone a lot easier in multi-base maps.

I have a similar problem in some location of the map. I've not added any mods but looks like the map terrain has some errors. I've found If I can't get a thrall to stand guard on that ground a portal stone isn't going to work and gives the same error as identified, even if I can place foundations and workbenches on the same spot.
