Hey guys, Thailen here 
So some questions about Warp Conduits. I was wondering when and if theyâll be a permanent world object within the game?
Maybe the permanent ones will be a separate object, I donât know. I think it would be really cool to be able to shut these portals off and on at will once youâre able to have a âcentral travel hubâ. What do you guys think?

Crafted permanent portals are coming,
I think it was meant to be included in a previous test-release, but was not ready yet, so it went back to the workbench.
Hopefully it coming soonâŚI run low of money after all jumping aroundâŚ
its funny you should mention that. the over all theme for my most recent build is a massive machine proto type made to maintain permanent portals.
I may have gone a little nuts but overall it would make sense to craft a machine to maintain a permanent portal and instead of costing coin it could take fuel to run.
