Portal

Portals create inter-dimensional pathways across the universe. Portals are doorways between two locations on the same or two different Worlds allowing instant travel at no cost to the traveller.



Portals are built out of s and require a and s to open. They consume Oort Shards as fuel for ongoing operation. Their minimum size depends on the distance, measured in Blinksecs, between the endpoints and larger Portals consume more Oort Shards per hour to stay in operation.

A useful resource for calculating the distance between Worlds can be found on a Google Docs spreadsheet.

Portal Creation

 * 1) Stack enough Portal Conduits at the destination location to create the future Portal endpoint
 * 2) Obtain a Portal Token for that location
 * 3) Move to the departure location and make an identical stack of Portal Conduits
 * 4) Use the Portal Token to connect the two Portal Endpoints
 * 5) Add enough Oort Shards to cover the opening cost, plus some more for fuel
 * 6) Open the Portal
 * 7) Continue to add Oort Shards as fuel from time to time
