'''Translocators''' are devices used to teleport long distances within Vintage Story. | |||
<translate> | </translate> | ||
__TOC__ | __TOC__ | ||
<translate> | |||
== Obtaining == <!--T:30--> | |||
<!--T:14--> | |||
Static translocators cannot be crafted; they can be found only through exploring. | |||
They cannot be destroyed or relocated. | |||
Other types of {{ll|Translocator#See_also|teleporters}} can be crafted. | |||
=== Finding === <!--T:9--> | |||
<!--T:10--> | |||
Broken static translocators generate in {{ll|Ruin|ruins}}, almost always underground. | |||
<!--T:15--> | |||
While some translocators can only be reached by going deep underground, many translocator rooms are near enough to the surface that you don't need high-tier gear to risk searching. Watch for any unnatural blocks, such as stone bricks or aged wood, which indicate the presence of a manmade structure that might contain a translocator or other valuables. | |||
<!--T:16--> | |||
It's not possible in singleplayer to find an unbroken static translocator. | |||
=== Repairing === <!--T:31--> | |||
<!--T:11--> | |||
Broken static translocators are useless until repaired. | |||
"Ruined static translocators" cannot be repaired; they're simply decorative. | |||
<!--T:12--> | |||
Broken translocators can be repaired using 2 {{ll|Metal parts|metal parts}} and 3 {{ll|Temporal gear|temporal gears}}. | |||
<!--T:13--> | |||
''Note'': If your character's class is {{ll|Classes#Clockmaker|Clockmaker}}, you will only need 2 {{ll|Metal parts|metal parts}} and 2 {{ll|Temporal gear|temporal gears}} to repair the broken translocator. | |||
<!--T:17--> | |||
Repair process: | |||
# Holding 2 Metal parts in the active hand, {{RMB}} on the broken static translocator. The platform glass returns to its proper place. Must hold 2: {{RMB}} with only 1 metal part accomplishes nothing. Must start with metal: {{RMB}} with a temporal gear before the Metal parts accomplishes nothing. | |||
# Holding a temporal gear, {{RMB}} on the broken static translocator. A blue-green gear appears under the platform glass. | |||
# {{RMB}} with a second temporal gear. A blue-green gear appears on top of the frame. | |||
# {{RMB}} with a third temporal gear. A blue-green gear appears in the control box to the left. | |||

== Usage == <!--T:43--> | |||
<!--T:19--> | |||
A repaired translocator will find a spot a few thousand of blocks away from itself, where a paired translocator will be generated, allowing the player to easily move between the two. | |||
The newly-linked translocator will be at least 400 blocks away, but no further than 8000 blocks.<ref>Lines 19-20 of vssurvivalmod-master\BlockEntity\BEStaticTranslocator.cs</ref> | |||
<!--T:20--> | |||
Occasionally, the process of pairing with another translocator goes awry; make a backup of your world before trying a newly-repaired translocator. | |||
<!--T:21--> | |||
To use a translocator, stand onto the platform until the sound effects complete. If you step off the platform within a few seconds, the transportation will be cancelled. | |||
<!--T:22--> | |||
Recommended to take with you through a new translocator: | |||
* A light source, preferably a waterproof one | |||
* A pickaxe with decent durability, as there might not be a quick or safe route to the surface | |||
* Ladders or rope ladders | |||
* A stack of dirt or other building material, as you might need to block passageways to avoid being swarmed by monsters | |||
* Food | |||
== History == <!--T:23--> | |||
== Notes == <!--T:24--> | |||
<!--T:44--> | |||
* A steel pickaxe was not successful in getting a translocator to break. After a full minute of mining, there was no indication that any progress had been made. | |||
* It's possible to customize a translocator's destination through commands. Use <code>/help settlpos</code> for details. For example, if you want to connect to a TL that you know is at x 10, y 100, z 20, type <code>/settlpos l[] 10 100 20</code> while looking at another TL. | |||
