This was left over from my latest vid:

-607N -416E Solum
There is a portal in Pixle Gate leading here @ -1721N -226E

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! the leaves will prevent fall damage but only if you land on them =P

There is enough fuel for a little over 1 day if you want to play around

btw this is the largest portal possible currently @ 10x10

Here are some beautified version of my notes compliments of @Dzchan94

Cost by size

Minimum conduits needed by # of jumps

These charts are also pinned to the ā€œquestionsā€ channel of the Boundless Discord ^^

Love having you back making videos @Jiivita.

Also, @Jiivitaā€™s portal should be a nice place to get those ā€˜travel through X amount of portalsā€™ feats, and some easy experience for those of you who havenā€™t already.

How fast does a portal that size eat shards?

#4

10 shards per hour O.oā€¦ 500 to open =O

Oww. OWW.

Thatā€™s too prohibitive ><. 10x as much as a 1-hop portal? Hmmn. My spaced hyper-hub may not be such a good idea after all. Ahh well, back to the drawing board.

Edit: Seems like using the ring for the spaced hub is a bad idea. Still will need 128 + 120 + 120 blocks distance I suppose, so 46 plots? Doable.

lol that about sums it upā€¦ there seems to be a bit of a cap / each time you enter a portal that you lose a bit of momentumā€¦ that slight hesitation you can get going thorough portalsā€¦ i have a video render atm on @Arkefyre 's ā€œArk Jumpā€ and grapple parkā€¦ might be cool to see how well portals play in the mix ^^

I just finished claiming (sans a single plot that I claimed around and am attempting to negotiate with the owner to trade) a full ring (4,608 x 8 blocks, or 576 plots) around Epsilo. I had also noticed that the ā€œwelcome to xā€ messages only play within an 8 plot radius of portals (and the same goes for the loading, at least horizontallyā€¦ unsure about vertically). Because of this, sets of 3-4 portals with at least 16 plots in between sets should theoretically cause no major lag for anyone. I was thinking of doing sets of three portals spaced like this, one for each ā€œzoneā€ (one ring world, homeworld and moon) for a total of four sets.

Unfortunately Epsilo isā€¦ prohibitively expensive to portal to, say, Andoweem from (or vice versa) so itā€™s more likely that Iā€™ll be doing a vertical setup with leaves and falls on Vulpto, where the greatest portal-fuel cost will be 4/hour for a total of 504/day for all portals. I will of course link my ring on Epsilo up to this when I eventually make it.

Is that 50 oort shards to open and 1 per hour? Is the first hour part of the open cost?

#13

The first hour should be includedā€¦ otherwise it would instantly close if you opened it with only 50 Oort :thinking:
