Portal Storage Box

[Caleb Giovannucci]

A portal chest that allows you to link to a second portal chest and place/pull items from it.

They would link like normal portals, just would save time in the late game and keep you from having to hop back and forth through portals. The accessibility would work like storage chests where only 1 person can access the set at a time.

Dimensional chests are an idea that has been done in other games (I believe Minecraft uses an Enderchest). It is an interesting idea, but to maintain game balance, you'd probably not be allowed to put non-portable items into this chest as the game design makes it intentionally restrictive to move these items manually. One suggested change I'd make is that, unlike portals, you can have multiple chests linked to the same chest inventory space as long as they share the same name, this would be unlike portals that have a 1-to-1 linked association as portals have.

A Complexity that designers would have to programmatically address is how would a name change affect the inventory space? I'd suggest that the associated inventory space name wouldn't transfer and reassociate to a new namespace association unless it is the only chest with that name being renamed, in which case, it can't be renamed to another existing namespace association without being empty, or if it does, then the excess items in that inventory get dumped to the floor when the reassociation happens instead of being lost and overwritten by (or overwriting) the new item namespace.

To avoid duplication or deletion of items, I'd suggest that the chest inventory items only move with a name change if and only if the chest is already unlinked, otherwise, it will either change link association accordingly to the new Namespace, or it will create a fresh/empty inventory space if a new (unselected/unique) Namespace is selected.
