Astria Porta

Astria Porta ~ Stargates

Introduction

Hailing from the sci-fi TV-series Stargate SG-1, this mod introduces the stargates (or Astria Porta as their original creators called them) to VS.
Stargates are capable of creating portals between one another, allowing travelers to explore their world with ease.

Most recent update:

• Added Destiny-type gates and Kino remote

 

Next update will focus on either a power system, or more decorative blocks and items + structures for worldgen.

Features

 

• Milkyway, Pegasus and Destiny stargates
  • The stargates connect to each other, forming portals between them
  • Watch out for the unstable vortex when the wormhole forms! It is capable of destroying any and all matter.
  • Stargate connections close automatically after a certain time, or when manually disconnected
  • The base of the stargate supports camouflaging of the blocks

 

• Dial Home Devices
  • The Dial Home Device (or DHD) is the main interface of the stargates
  • Enter an address through the GUI, or with an address note, and start the connection process
  • Close the gate connection via the GUI, or by right-clicking

 

• Address Cartouches
  • Mysterious stone tablets that hold unknown gate addresses
  • You can find these in ruins, or can buy them from certain traders
  • Hold the item in your hand and right-click to find a new stargate somewhere around you
  • The generation process may take a while, keep the item in your inventory until done generating

 

• Address notes
  • Copy the address of a gate you discovered with a piece of parchment
  • Sneak-right-click on a DHD to connect to the address on the note

 

Refer to the handbook entries on stargates and addresses for more usage information
