#Self teleport keybind for solo

Hold down a button like T for a few seconds to make an installed teleporter on your ship activate on you. Since solo players don't have teammates, the teleporter is usually useless. The only mod I know that offers a solution is Lategame Upgrades and I don't really like the portable teleporter- it fills a precious slot and by default, breaks itself, keeps items and costs an extra 300 credits on top of the teleporter. I want to keep the LGU teleporter to its default settings and have a worse built-in teleport feature at no credit* (or space) cost.

*(may cost credits to use, but doesn't require investment)

Since teleporting yourself can be very helpful, I recommend a few cons to balance the mechanic out. A few ideas could be:
A kind of long wind up period before it starts teleporting you (having to hold the button the whole time, also makes it harder to bump the wrong button)
Taking nonlethal damage (20 hp unless you're already below that threshold)
Costing credits? Like 10% fine for using the Company Emergency Broadcast System to ping your ship computer (an interesting feature of the mod could be automatically teleporting your corpse at the end of the round or automatically getting you back on the ship if you're not there when it takes off)
NOT KEEPING YOUR ITEMS- preferable to dying in solo, but only just. You're only ever one death away from a full game over, but the fear of losing valuable quota items can make it worth at least trying to stay behind if you aren't 100% going to die.

I'm pretty sure there's an existing mod for this

#

I can't find it for some reason :(

I couldn't either

#

"Teleport" returns nothing relevant in TS

#

I could probably make this happen using a remote terminal mod and the TP modded command, but that seemed cheap to just use it for free. Also I don't like the mods I found for remote terminal commands because they didn't really cost anything despite literally obseleting a good chunk of my modpack.

#

If you can stick a 60 dollar radar booster on the railing of your ship and send commands from the depths of the dungeon, it cost 60 dollars to permanently unlock disabling turrets etc. Maybe as a signal translator feature it would be balanced (and give me a good use for that in solo) but otherwise...

#

I have ideas for a lot of solo rework mechanics but I don't want to overload mod ideas with all of them at once

Maybe Im thinking of AC’s Portable Teleporter

#

That or the voice controls for terminal / ship commands

#

I can’t remember if that one works when you’re inside or not

#

I’m pretty sure that the late game upgrades mod adds a few variations of a portable teleporter item

#

I could be wrong though

#

Yea but I wanted something without taking up one of the extremely precious inventory slots

#

Even configured to being basically a vanilla teleporter, losing a slot is like losing a finger

#

ESPECIALLY IN SOLO

Add yourself additional slot

So with the "TerminalKeyBindings" mod you can send terminal keybinds while off the ship. I have F7 set to switch the monitor to me and F8 set to send a terminal teleport command. Unsure about balance, but It works pretty well.
