Here's why you can't teleport ore

[Grandaddypurple]

Big news: there's this super nice thing in game developing called BALANCING. It's used to create a progressing curve that makes a game enjoyable on the longer run.
Big LOL at people thinking portals are some kind of MRI device and get confused as to why you can't teleport ore and ingots but you can teleport weapons and armor made out of these materials. The purpose is not to make sense, it's just so you don't get full bronze gear right after finishing the first boss, full iron gear right after second boss etc... and to force you to use the features this game has to offer: sea and land exploring and building outposts, carts boats and what not

Why you can't type "teleport" into the Search Discussions box before starting a new thread?

There are literally thousands of existing threads on this topic.

[Littleshack]

Because 96% of people are fine with it. That's why. They aren't going to change for the 4%

Here we go again...

Just use the boat. I like using the boat because I farm serpent meat and look for giant turtles.

[FrankyFourFingers]

It's justifiable the way they have it now, but wait til you want to pimp out a non-primary outpost. Gotta setup a whole forge just so you can build a fancy light source.
Imagine being able to construct trinkets and then putting them into your inventory and hopping portal...

I have a tree and animal farm a long ways away from my mainbase (where my forge resides). I have to suffer with primitive setups because I cannot teleport processed ingots through the portal.

What the hell - why can't you post in the like.... literally HUNDRED posts exactly this one.

Mods should just lock these now.

In fact: I wish we actually HAD mods in this forum.

devs designed the game to be played on 2 world at once

one world as base/crafting/storage
other world as gathering

simply -> go to gathering world -> start mining -> overweight yourself to 600+ (or more) -> ESC -> logout -> go to storage world -> store everything (you spawn next to chests~~) -> ESC -> logout -> go to gathering world (you spawn on the ore vein you mined) and continue mining

if you use carts/boats to transport ore then you play the game wrong :V
and if you use portal to move around then it's wrong too ;D

Yea lol I see a lotta people doing that too, I personally dont like it, making outposts and taking the boat isn't a lot more tedious and more immersive, but I dig the idea

for now you can use mods that allow ore teleportation :D
even if host doesn't allow mods... just don't tell him mod is installed ;d
game will work as supposed and you will be the only person able to teleport with ore

No but I don't want ore to be teleported though lol

ohhh I misread the thread at first

then to add to your thread
there was a guy before who said that we cannot teleport metals/ore because in vikings lore metals interfere with magic, and portals use this magic thus they don't work
or something like that~~ don't remember it exactly
(it still doesn't explain why we can't TP the 200kg dragon eggs tho)

The balance you speak of is entirely contradicted by the devs themselves by allowing players to have persistent inventories across multiple worlds. If they limited the portals for balance then they are complete idiots. I think they did it for a different reason. Otherwise, they would need to end persistent inventories in order to preserve the balance you claim they are trying to achieve. Change my mind.

devs just did it to cater to the casuals but not to much
and also saved them self to add better road building mechanics and more transportation options.

The obvious answer is to extend the grind. Otherwise you'll have to explain why you can't teleport ore, but you can teleport items made FROM ore.
