Introducing fast travel with the Portal Network. Build 0.6.2.
Keep your arms and legs within the portal at all times! 0.6.2 brings the Portal Network, giving players a faster way to travel back and forth the mining colony on the surface.
This feature is an answer to players who found themselves spending a lot of time going back and forth to empty their cargo buy and to refuel. While exploring the depths of the world you can now find portal pads which connect back to the surface. Once interacted with you can travel to and from them.
Originally the screen was supposed to show a minimap, but unfortunately it didn't look that great. The long and thin size of the map did not fit properly on screen and the coloring made it look more like a camouflage pattern than a miniature of the world.
This idea was scrapped, and I found that using a background image was more than enough. The final result:
Files
Get Mines of Volantis
Mines of Volantis
Mine and collect resources to escape an abandoned mining colony.
