I'm missing something that has not been added to all of the other threads that I've already scanned for clues 1. Creative mode 2. godmode invisible (else it just asks to teleport you) 3. Press f 4. Expect to get a prompt dialog - pretty sure this used to work a year ago. Actual Outcome : I press F like it shows in the tooltip, and absolutely nothing at all happens. What changed since 2018? I have to stand so that my avatar is clipping through the teleporter base, in order to get the edit tooltip, but still no joy.
(Oh forgot to mention teleporters have to be in a "device group", because for some historical resaon? devices cannot be given names if they are not in a device group. ) I wondered about that Use network tickbox, ran out of time to fiddle. So it basically joins the teleporter to the entire network, and which point the f prompt is not going to do anything. Still does not answer my question, why do I see the "press f to configure prompt" and then nothing happens when I press f? I experience similar issues with Alt-O and blueprints, very often, nothing happens? Is that what I wasted most of the evening on, hitting f repeatedly when I really am having hitbox problems? This is really the part of this that wasted most of my time, is it just that the tooltip needs to be dynamic if use network is enabled, in which case the p key should work? Because p key was doing nothing even when it should have opened the devices tabs correctly.
What has all this to do with teleporters? In 1.4 I think they changed it, while you can use teleporters with friendly factions you cannot build them anymore in survival, at least that's what the Empyriopedia says. Still there are teleporters in some stock CV's, they work in tutorial mode but you can strand yourself in some destination if you are not careful. [Edit] Hum...they changed the info again, you CAN use them in survival, sorry.
You need to be in God mode while in creative to set a teleport target. Out of God mode will use the teleporter. I haven't had any hit box issues with teleporters but I haven't played around with them recently. If you got a bug with the hit box maybe report it.
The Teleporter hitbox is behaving for me now, I think the issue is that if you approach, then turn on godmode while near and facing it that you run into pain. The starter planet Teleporter is not working for me, nor for the person who originally alerted me to this. Vanilla starter planet. It's not possible to teleport from the space station back down again (Survival game, no need to change game mode) got to planetside trading station portal , Enter godmode invisible, press "p" to the access the device, turn off "network", turn on "network". Now it works for the return trip. Will raise a ticket to have the "tooltip" or toast not come up when a teleporter is in "network" mode.
Invisible option was not needed in survival if I remember right. I would really like it if typed console commands would get put into the log, because that would be easier evidence than screenshots of the console.
