How it works

A Stargate is an eleven-by-eleven ring, upright or laid flat, that opens a wormhole to another gate. Nine chevron seats around the ring hold its address. Chevrons 1 to 6 and Chevron 7 are required, and Chevrons 8 and 9 are optional. Chevron 7, the centred lamp at the top, is unique to each gate.

Right-click the beacon to raise the gate. It opens toward the face you clicked. The chevron blocks and the inner fill burn away, the ring stays, and the gate remembers its address. The Stargate locks into place. Gates must stand at least 400 blocks apart.

Dialing

A gate is dialed from a Dial Home Device within 64 blocks. When the seventh chevron locks, the wormhole opens for 38 seconds. Step through the dialing gate to travel. An incoming wormhole only receives.

Tips

• Write down each gate's address when you build it. The blocks burn away once the gate rises.
• /runic build stargate builds the ring upright by default.

See Travel for the full dialing sequence.
