Question about "warp doors"
The Point A to Point B jump doors are an innovation and a gift from the code gods. I do have a question about them, though.

Will these work with something that simply "repeats" the wiring signal? I have a "military installation" type thing with a town outside it, and I wonder if I can set up a couple of these doors so people can "go around" the facility. The trouble is, the wire will break before it reaches the other side.

Sadly, signal extenders most likely won't work: the script for the background doors looks for the entityID of the connected object to determine if the teleport action should be available. If there's an extender in between the two doors, they'll detect the ID of that extender instead and won't be able to recognize the connected objects as another background door.

I'm confused. I assume the OP is referring to Terraria-style point-to-point teleporters?

Have these very recently been added to Elithian Races, then? I've been away from the game for a few weeks now but if these are a thing, I may have to come on back and do some builds.

Yeah, in the latest update, I added functional background doors which act as point-to-point teleporters. You can wire up two of the same types of background doors and instantly travel between them, allowing for a lot more build variety than before.

That's fantastic, thank you. I've very frequently wished for point-to-point teleporters in my hundreds of hours playing Starbound, but as far as I'm aware, no modder had implemented them until now.

In that case, I may want to look for a mod that removes the wire break tether.

i could swear i heard somewhere that enabling admin mode removes the bbreak limit but after some minor testing with the doors it seems like both doors need to be in view to be usable but like i said it was very minor testing and could be wrong

I may need to rebuild part of my base to have an undertunnel run under the base, with those doors simply above and below the tunnel.
