If you want to have ruins around the gates, I'd recommend having a chat with the Better Ruins team, to see if you can get some kind of integration going.

Super excited for the Destiny-type stargate, they're probably my favourite design of the three - not to mention the gate remotes!

Request:
-Add an option to disable underground spawns of stargates.

-Add an option to disable spawning of stargates without a console.

I can't seem to reproduce this issue at the moment, but I do know the dialing can fail if the chunk is not available at the end of the dialing, although I don't know if that's the cause in this instance.

If you want to you can send me the client-main.log, client-debug.log, server-main.log and server-debug.log via the forum or on discord and I can take a look (no guarantees I can solve it). (Although getting the server logs might not be possible if you're playing on a server)

Having an issue with the stargates connecting. Happens when using both code sheets and manual dialing, will dial through but get stuck on final symbol and then reset. Using on a server. 

Im useing this for now in a singleplayer  when i find a new stargate i mark it with the codination but evry stargate i find dosent work ??? like if i input a code it wont connect 

it wont connect the last symbol but its the correct adresse ??? is there a bug in the  mod ??

Hey, 

just wanted to say that this mod is awesome!

I found the gate from the time loop Episode and loved the attention to detail :D

Thank you.

Currently the DHD spawns in at 50% right? Could you make that instead say 95% of gates having a working DHD, with the rest not having a DHD attached. And of that remaining 5% having 1% of them have a physical DHD near the gate, but broken, and needing repairs. I do understand you have a lot of work to do on the mod still, but as a future update mayne?

Keep up the great work. I love your mod.

CrusadingPriest That shouldn't be happening, but what do you mean by walking away exactly? Leaving the area so the chunks unload and then coming back? That might still be an issue.
If it's you linking it, then leaving the GUI, and the DHD forgetting the address immediately, then that's a more serious issue that I've never encountered before.

So I placed a DHD next to a gate but it wont stay linked to the gate. I hit the relink button and it links but when I walk away it loses the address. Am I doing something wrong?

MyNameWill Interesting, cartouches don't save their search progress and should reset to neutral after a reload, unless I made a mistake somewhere.

Looking at the part of the debug tablet code that's throwing this error, the issue likely isn't with me. The only way this error can occur is if the game unloads the item definition before it has even been loaded (don't ask me how).
I do know that crashes like this often obscure the true issue, with often random items / blocks ending up at the top of the stack trace for seemingly no reason.
The actual client and server log files usually have more info on what actually goes wrong, hope that helps.

DilanRona That issue has been fixed

FatherSarge I might just end up commissioning someone to make legally distinct sound effects. But I'm kind of busy IRL at the moment, and there's also a big refactor of the main stargate code I need to finish first and foremost.

I take it you right clicked the debug tablet at empty air, or some block that wasnt related to the stargate mod (ie gate, dhd, or computer), right? MyNameWill

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but this mod seems to semi-randomly crash my game. Occasionally when I launch my world the game will crash and I'll get the error listed below. It only happens when I am launching the world. Its not a major issue as simply relaunching the world seems to work, but it's definitely annoying. I am running a BUNCH of mods, so that might not be helping. Oh and also since it lists a tablet as causing an issue I figured that I should mention that I do have one Cartouche that has been searching for a Stargate for about 70 ish hours of game time. I doubt thats the root of the issue, but I thought it should be mentioned. Anyways, heres the error I receive on crashing.

Let me know if ya need any more info! And thanks for the wondeful mod! 

(Stargate SG-1 is amazing)

nanotect for the sounds, I'd maybe approach the Stargate Journey or maybe the Just Stargate Mod minecraft mod teams about how they are doing things/if they are even trying to avoid copyright/etc. Both of those mods have pretty spectacular stargate sounds. Maybe they'll even let you borrow some of their sounds if you get lucky!

RuneScriber there's no way to create a gate through crafting at this point in time, but you can break them and put them down somewhere else.

You can change the required mining level (copper / bronze / iron / steel pickaxe) in the mod config if you want to

@DilanRona

can they be place and or made in survival?

Every gate has a unique address. As long as you have the address of the destination gate, you can dial it from any other gate, and get there.

RuneScriber

does this mod allow the creation and linking of portals or is it only random tp like vannila transporters?

nanotect Honestly, with the sounds, While the originals are copyrighted, I'm sure if you jsut mention that the sounds and concept of Stargate is copyrighted by MGM, in the mod description, and don't try to sell the mod for money, You should be fine, The sounds can even be found on Youtube without ads

Could the DHD be sold at clockmakers then? Just the DHD, and not the gate themselves.

Matiamo

This shouldn't break anything in existing worlds, except for increasing the default spawning distance between stargates. Although you could set this back to the previous value in the config file if you want to (config options "MinDistanceSurfaceGates" and "MinDistanceUndergroundGates", previous value was 600)

New save required for the update I take it?

I can wait a bit longer I suppose for the remote dialing function. Your mod is still in alpha, and I guess there is still a ton of work to do behind the scenes on the coding level.

DilanRona

I don't know why gates tend to always generate near the world spawn (blame VS worldgen), but the DHD generation is fully random, nothing to do about that. I am absolutely aware of the remote controllers from SGU, but they won't be coming until later as there are other QoL improvements and other major additions that take priority. Besides that, DHDs are sometimes missing because if all gates had one, it might be rather overpowered.

As for the mining tier things, they are customizable in the config. The main intention was to allow players to relocate DHDs if they found a nice place for their home near a gate without a DHD, without making gates relocatable until late game.

JunidO

The config file reverting back shouldn't be happening except for certain settings that automatically revert if the value is outside of a reasonable range (such as the maximum connection duration having a lower limit of 10s). Do let met know which settings are causing issues and I can look into it if it's happening to more things than it should.

Kreeate

Good suggestion, could be a nice addition to some sort of larger catalog item to manage all your address notes. Should be doable by next update.

FatherSarge

I've had multiple requests about better sounds, but I'm kind of hesistant to use the (copyrighted) sounds from the show unless I have no other choice. Although you're right that I should probably upgrade the sounds soonish

So far the most annoying aspect of the mod is finding a gate near (or resonably near) the spawn point and there is no DHD. Can you please add the Kino remote (https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Ancient_remote_control) for the gates with no DHD's?

<EDIT>

It's not the Kino remote that I was thinking off, although if you could add the Kino and its Kino remote (which is capable of dialing Destiny style gates) it would be greatly appreciated. To cover the gates with no DHD's, could you please add the portable DHD (https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Dial_Home_Device?file=Con_Portable_Stargate_DHD.jpg) as demonstrated with the goa'uld?

JunidO If you use Config Lib with Auto Config Lib, save (dont forget to hit the save button) and then restart the world/server the settings will save correctly

https://mods.vintagestory.at/configlib
https://mods.vintagestory.at/autoconfiglib

nanotect I love this mod and can't wait for it to get bigger and better, thank you got enabling the quick dial in a nice easy way (took me a minute to find though xD might want to reference it in the Handbook). I can't tell you how many times I had to abandon the gate at night time getting swarmed by monsters waiting for the dial out to finish.
Looking forward to the sound effects getting added

If you change something in the config file, it will allways reset to original. So, actually you can´t edit the config.

thought, add naquadah ore, or rather, naquadah meteors like meteoric iron, that can be either alloyed with iron to make naquadah alloy or pure naquadah for making parts of gates post steel age? as naquadah ore, in info, isent natural to "our" world

nanotect Any way to add the possibility to write some descriptive text on an address note?

It's difficult to remember where x-y-z-a-b-c is supposed to take me, especially if you have many discovered gates and many address notes.

Out of sheer curiosity, Why can you mine the DHD with a level 4 pick when you need level 5 for the gate itself? Also, any plans on making the gates and DHDs themselves craftable? and Hopign to potentially see some custom sounds for the gates, Would be the cherry on top of the cake that is this awesome mod

I noticed that the DHD has to be within 4 blocks of the gate when I place it, and it has to face the gate (took a while to figure that out though).

As for the crash, it only happens when I right click the debug tablet at empty air (pointing to the sky).

I am willing to send the logs via forums if you want them, but I absolutely refuse to have anything to do with discord after the server moderators stole and deleted my account and will not specify what my so called crime was.

nanotect Beautiful! I'll keep an eye out for the update.

DilanRona

DHD linking is currently pretty limited in range, as well as being a bit directional. Automatic linking currently also only happens when you place the gate first, then DHD second. Update this weekend will increase the range.
As for the second issue, that doesn't really seem like it's caused by the debug tablet (extended-workbench?). I can take a look if you send log files with the issue on Discord or on the forum post.

Ivanblade

That issue should be resolved in the next update this weekend, let me know if the issue still persists afterwards and I can take another look.

Thalius

A configuration setting for disabling worldgen gates and gates generated by address cartouches is coming in next update this weekend.

How do I resolve the "No gate linked" when manually placing a gate and DHD? Testing it out now.

Also had the following error with the debug tool for the gate.

I got a weird bug on my dedicated server atm. Currently, anytime I try to use any of the stargates it returns with this in my server console:
[astriaporta] Address (whatever the address is) was invalid, returning null

The weird thing is, it's specifically for my current map only, I have another map which the mod works just fine on and was on the same server not long ago.

Out of curiosity, Will there be custom sounds in the future?

May I suggest adding a config to completely disable spawning on worldgen? So that a patch to disable them is not needed? I really want to reserve these as an admin tool for setting up limited portals between spawn and distant locations on a community server, but I want control over where they show up.

Looking forward to next update! Mod seems very cool so far but being unable to make them much rarer/farther apart definitely hurts a bit.

So these spawn in the world?

I'm intrigued by this project, and am keeping an eye on it.

Personally I don't like translocators, as they are way too common and have no serious cost.  I do sort of like the idea of being able to acquire late game tech that allows for linking very distant communities in the manner this mod provides, but they'd have to be very rare. I've considered looking at making translocators work in a similar manner, but this mod provides something that would do that, with the added function of being able to "dial" in to other gates.  The only concern is frequency.  If they had to be crafted from old world tech that was scavenged up and was extremely hard to come by, resulting in no more than a handful or two of gates being made possible, it'd be a valuable thing to have.  Too many gates spawning randomly across the entire world makes it an overpowered feature.

I suppose a patch could be made to disable their spawning and just have a server admin place one as desired for a more balanced use, but making them a very rare craftable item would be more fun and challenging.

Another idea might be to work them into a structure that only spawns a limited number of times and across a configurable distance from one another, making them a leftover item from the old world that players can find and use to move between gates. As gates are found and "addresses" acquired, moving across vast distances would become somewhat easier to do.

Very curious to see where this mod goes from here.

JunidO

Next update will increase the default distance between stargate spawns, as well as add a configuration option to change this distance as you like. Hope that improves it for you!

KnightessOruna

NPCs are quite a ways out, so I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to handle that. Will probably be a configuration option at the very least, although I just might split it off into a separate optional mod.

will the npc's be a option we can toggle on and off?

For my taste, there are too many Stargates spawning in the world.

Yes Please! Cant wait to see where this mod goes. Wish there was a way to create our own dimensions in VS.

@nanotect I too had the water particles, no texture, then it also crashed, and made the whole area black.imgur.com/a/JrUjrTx

Yes, I am using mods that add a lot of new blocks/textures, and I tired an Atlas increasing mod and it still doesn't work correctly.

~Edit. Need a way to configure how close they can spawn. Just found 2 within 23 blocks of each other lol

-Edit 4/7/25. Today's update has fixed the invisible portal, hooray! And awesome about the distance fix too. So glad to add this back to my server.

zizzler

Sorry to hear you're having issues. I haven't had the portal be invisible before.

If you want to you can send some more info on the mod thread in the VS discord, and I'll try to help.
Or you can reply to the Astria Porta post on the forum.

Any chance you're using mods that add a lot of new blocks / textures?

excellent work 😃
in my game when stargate is opened i get the particle effect and water sound but the i dont get any texture inside the gate. it is just see through.
i installed LibATex also.

im on a multiplayer server with 1.20.7 version of game. any advice to get the nice textures?

I will follow this mod with great interest :)

Dude... I was just thinking about creating a Stategate mod for VS 😂

Looks good! Very excited to see the progress on this!

This really just looks like the old stargate mod from minecraft days. OG Modmaker Perhaps? Very good.

It looks amazing

Absolute Legend long time fan of the stargate universe and this is awsome and will fit perfect onto my server once its verified as stable

Genuinely amazed with this mod already. For being a first draft this has so much quality to it already. The only thing I worry about is the ease of use when it comes to larger servers and their use as a way to connect people together. Memorizing addresses and keeping gates open/the time it takes to dial being kinda slow. Though I don't want that to step on the vision, I love it so far!

Based!

I'm going to need a P90 and C4 mod pls.

First
