Teleporters

Overview

The Teleporter is an endgame fast travel station that lets you warp instantly between any two Teleporter points you have placed on the island. Unlike Bus Stops, which are fixed in 10 predetermined locations and charge a fare for each trip, Teleporters can be placed anywhere you choose and are completely free to use. Building your first Teleporter is one of the objectives in the Expert Crafter Certification quest from Zerine.

How to Unlock Teleporters

The Teleporter blueprint becomes available at Zerine's General Store once you reach Expert Crafter, the highest tier of the Crafter profession. The full profession progression leading to this point is:

Expert Crafter Certification Quest

Once you reach Expert Crafter, Zerine assigns the certification quest with these objectives:

Completing this quest earns you the Expert Crafter title and certificate, plus access to endgame automation stations and the Spirit Cube III blueprint.

Crafting Materials

Each Teleporter is crafted at a Worktable III. The recipe requires three endgame components:

All three components are themselves crafted from advanced sub-materials, making the Teleporter one of the most resource-intensive items in the game.

Eternal Alloy

Crafted at a Furnace III using Flamecore Ingots (from Flamecore Ore found in the Moonlit Forest), Alloy, and Coal. Flamecore Ore is mined in the deeper sections of the Moonlit Forest, so you need significant Explorer profession progress to access it.

Perpetual Reactor

Crafted at the Energy Converter, an advanced crafting station. The recipe calls for:

The Energy Converter itself requires Alloy, Magnet, Starflare Core, Gear, and Prism to build.

Spirit Cube III

Crafted at Worktable III from 2 Spirit Cube II and 2 Alloy. The Spirit Cube chain goes:

Spirit Cube Fragments are the bottleneck. They only come from Uncommon and Rare Ore Chunks found in the Moonlit Forest. Common Ore Chunks do not yield fragments. Mine ore chunks in the mid-to-deep sections of the forest and analyze them at the Ore Analyzer for a chance to receive fragments. Each Teleporter ultimately requires 16 Spirit Cube Fragments (4 per Spirit Cube I, 2 Spirit Cube I per Spirit Cube II, 2 Spirit Cube II per Spirit Cube III).

Full Crafting Station Requirements

Building a single Teleporter requires access to all of the following crafting stations:

How to Use Teleporters

Placement Strategy

Since you can place Teleporters anywhere and build as many as you want, the main constraint is the expensive material cost per unit. Most players prioritize these locations:

Start with two Teleporters connecting your home and the location you visit most. Add more as you gather materials.

Teleporters vs. Bus Stops

Starsand Island has two fast travel systems. Bus Stops are available earlier in the game, while Teleporters are the endgame upgrade.

Bus Stop Details

For reference, Bus Stops are unlocked via the "Building Starsand Station" quest given by Solara and Marston as part of the Island Pro stage in the Island Life itinerary. There are 10 stations total, marked with train icons on the map. You must travel to each stop location and rebuild it using 10 Stone Bricks, 5 Glass Panes, 10 Softwood Planks, and 5 Iron Sheets (the Cloudrest Lake station uses Bamboo Boards instead of Softwood Planks).

Bus Stops remain useful even after you have Teleporters, since they cover locations where you may not have placed a Teleporter yet. The two systems complement each other well.
