Portal notes
- After it is placed, a Portal takes about 6 minutes to charge (its in-game description still says 10 minutes).
- Once charged, it can be used indefinitely.
- Pick a spot you want as a teleport destination and place the Portal there.
- Wait for it to finish charging before relying on it as a way back.
- Use it to travel to other Portals, Anteverse Portals and activated Ancient Waypoints.
- Portals and waypoints share a single network, so the two ends of a route can be different types.
- A Portal is a travel destination, not a respawn point.
- If you want to respawn at your base after dying, sleep in a Bed there.
- When planning a base, the waypoint near the Core can serve as an existing connection.
- If the other end already has an activated waypoint, you do not need a second Portal for the new destination.
- Check that a newly placed Portal has finished charging before setting off on a trip that depends on it.
- Charging is a one-time wait after placing it, not a limit on how many times you can travel.
- The Recall Idol only takes you to the Core, so it cannot replace a Portal when your destination is another base.

What you get from salvaging Portal (Salvage and Repair Station)
Portal can be salvaged. Salvaging it gives the following items.
Scrap Parts×1- Copper Bar×24-25
- Iron Bar×24-25
- Octarine Bar×24-25
- Coral Wood Plank×24-25
- Mechanical Part×7-8
- Ancient Gemstone×9-10
For each material, the amount is "amount used to craft × 0.49 (lower when durability is down, 0.3 at 0 durability) × the item's multiplier", and a fraction is the chance of one more (2.4 means 2, with a 40% chance of 3). The range is from 0 durability to full durability (items without durability always count as full). Scrap parts are a fixed number set by the item level. All items that can be salvaged are listed in salvaging.
