[Suggestion] Fast Travel
An ability to fast travel to different bases. Let's say I set a base at the artic biome and then one at desert biome. Would be nice to just fast travel.

Ghost MergedThere has to be some kind of differentiation for playing solo.
In my experience, I attempted to go solo BW3 and its impossible. You burn through tons of iron and steel to even stand a chance with guns, thermos and oxygen tank and just the beginning of the arctic is so harsh. You need multiple bases, 4 at least, and all the caves need ladders or you will just die down. It just needs tons of time and if I had a week or more I would do it but in a beta weekend, impossible even with two players.
To differentiate, you can allow transportation with materials from bed to bed for solo players to be able to establish bases. Another idea would be a cheap motorcycle that we can buy from the spaceship (for style). Solo players need quick transportation somehow. -

PSYCHOREAPER001 Mergedcan we please have some kind of vehicle or fast travel between points that we set up maybe like a sender and receiver type of portal?

TechnoguruI agree, but not for free. Otherwise the challenge of getting somewhere is nerfed i think.

ZeroAgreed. Solo transportation needs attention. I feel like more than 1/3 of my game time is just me running place to place... not fun. Either make certain areas resource rich, or design something for quicker travel. In tier 3, I can make grenades, oxite dissolver, and guns... but my guy doesn't know how to craft and use the WHEEL? lol cave men figured it out... my space man should know too

Andy MergedWith the distances covered in the larger missions to establish a base it would be really nice to be able to either set up a fast travel system using sheltered beds so you can move between bases, or a more immersive solution would be to be able to build a bio fuel quad bike like an agricultural version with carrying capacity

Sum MergedIt's a session-based game and the sandbox map is tiny... that won't happen. Just saying.

AlEchoing the above comments: A running simulator is not fun. Once I reach a certain point (guns), there isn't much threat unless I'm really stupid, it's just time consuming to run from point to point. Maybe we could establish tracks between points that we could then fast travel along.

Civixer MergedAllow location beacons to provide fast travel. Would make these much more worthwhile to craft.

Mathieu SUDARO MergedHey,
I suggest that we can teleport ourself with the bed.
The map is very big and it could be sympatic that we can teleport ourself -

JBI'd like to see another type of pod used to travel from one base to another with a suitable number of slots. The technology is already there. Simply call one from the orbital exchange interface. It may require having an orbital exchange interface at each base or needing to craft a landing platform at each base, etc, but it keeps within the premise of the game .

It is incredibly infuriating to die while trying to explore and have to walk back 30-40 minutes. Reason #1 I quit the game after being a paid EA user. My friend wanted to check it out, but after seeing this we will pass. -

Brian MergedI would agree that a Fast Travel option would be greatly appreciated.
I like to add my input on this suggestion:
- Only available with the Bed and must be in a shelter (not the Bedroll).
- Requires a nearby Beacon.
- Cannot be used in a humid cave (the cave must first be dehumidified).
- Using Fast Travel forwards time a bit (and reduces the time on positive/negative status effects) as if you'd travelled in real time [if this isn't too difficult to code]. -

Bradley CliftonI think "fast travel" might not be the right approach. Instead of teleporting as such from one place to another, just speed the process up. They have released mounts now and that does make it faster, but I suggest the next level to mounts instead of just teleporting. I saw someone suggest tracks. How about building a primitive cart system. At certain areas where you need to go up hill, you need to place power lines. It needs to be resource intensive for you to want to do it but be rewarding in that it's twice or three times faster than mounts. In Prospects it will make it pretty much pointless unless they add tracks to the Workshop. In an Open World though, you'd want to spend hours building something like that to get around your bases.

Ben N.Really need a transporter. Just put crazy restrictions on it and make it a super late-game item. I just want to create multiple bases and be able to jump between them so my animals and fish don't die by the time I get back. Make it require a bunch of advanced batteries, level 60+, and cannot take anything with you...like nothing, anything on you gets destroyed.
As for other methods, sure I would love to see a cart & track system mostly for transporting ore, but maybe as an alternate travel option as well. Create a track system (which I seen already) and let us create mining carts or seater carts. Mining carts for easily sending ore back to the base after a thumper session or a sitting cart that is super fast based on how much we weigh. -

YaroslavI'd add +100 to this if I could.
Running back and forth even on Moa is not fun at all. It is not about challenge or something, it is just about respect of player's time. Well, the game push us to explore, build extractor on far veins and so on. But then after some times it turns into bloody routine to run around the map and collect ores from extractors.
Plus absence of fast travel makes absolutely painful building other bases and reaching far corners of the map. I would like to have another small camp in desert or in the snow, but then I think about the travel between them which will take 30 minutes of my real time and say "well nope, I'd better play Enshrouded"
