Guppy's Teleport Portal Mod

So I have been thinking about the recipe and was wondering if you would be open to me trying to make it a bit more challenging to acquire? This is such an awesome mod but also feels a bit too easy to obtain right now.  I can give it a go and show you what I come up with but if you aren't interested I won't spend the time.

 
I get "ERR XML loader: loading and parsing "recipes.xml" failed.

I can find the items in the cm screen but have no way to make them in game as they don't appear to be able to craft them.

 
Can you provide your full log?

Nevermind, I fixed it; thanks, please update to the latest version of my mod. 😃

 
Having a hard time telling what the requirements are to build the portals. I find guppyFuturePortal2 through guppyFuturePortal6 and I can see the required materials, but they all show as locked but the Unlock Options list is empty. The game shows the Powered by Score thing so I think I've installed yours and Score correctly. Other thing of note is that I have BetterVanilla installed also. Any ideas?

 
I think it requires the advanced engineering perk?  That's the only thing that comes to mind.  I'm not familiar with better vanilla so don't know what it changes.

The powered by score logo is just art so doesn't actually mean score was installed, but if you're not getting a @%$# ton of red errors then score is probably installed correctly.

Can you send me your game log?

 
Hy, after installing 20.6 I get a yellow message something with session and time out. I put out all Mods to look which Mod it is and at the end only the SCORE and Portal Mod is aktive, so I think it is it. I start with a new game on a server self problem Someone more has the problem?

 
Yellow is a unity message, *usually* unrelated to mods.  Was it something like EOS Session?  If so that's part of the game now.  Something to do with cross platform multiplayer or something.

 
Summer got crazy so only getting back into the swing of things.  

One issue I am running into is that when I leave the game and come back the portal connections are not working.  If I fly to each portal then the connection restores itself without really needing to do anything.  In the game the distance between the two portals I am testing is 4KM.  

Is there something I might need to do in order for the portals to stay connected?  

One aspect that I need to test further.  It is possible that if I leave the game when I am near my land claim block near one portal that the connection remains.  I say this because on a rare occasion the connection has actually worked after leaving the game and returning .

Any thoughts?

 
It uses chunk magic code stuff I'm not even remotely familiar with; if we can produce a repeatable case where something definitely does not work right, I can get with Sphereii.

Do I have to create something else that forces chunk loading? Like another block?

 
In theory the portals are supposed to do that; they're "chunk observers", and like bedrolls, should always be active.

I will do some testing and see what I can uncover.

So I did a simple test.  I am only working with two portals and they are 6 km apart.  If I enter the game at portal A the game will tell me it isn't connected.  When my wife joins the game at portal B then portal A immediately connects to portal B and I can teleport.  However, my wife cannot as for her portal B still doesn't see portal A.  

My best guess is that in my game the chunks where the portals are located are not autoloading when I start the game.  We are not really running a traditional server, more like a local co-op game.

The question I have is, "is there a way to force load chunks when a world is started."  

In minecraft there are mods that you place into a chunk to force it to load and stay loaded.  Not sure if that exists or not.

 
Yeh they're called "chunk observers" and portals are already set up to be those.  I'll forward your post to sphereii to see if he has any commentary.  Hm. 

 
I placed a Portal in my base. I can teleport back and forth just fine; however, I end up falling through the floor (to the level below). I've tried relocating the portals and even using different materials for the foundation of the portal - no change.
