Portal transport metal exploit
You can transport metal through a portal by following these steps:
-Placine the Metal in a Chest nearby
-Go into the Portal and start the animation
-Add the Metal back into your inventory while standing in the Portal
You will arrive at the Portals destination and have the metal in your inventory.

KRONOSMetal can also be transported by abusing character world transfer:
-Go into a new world and leaving your metal in a chest
-Return to your original world and going through the portal
-After you've returned home retrieve your metal from your pocket world
It takes longer but it's also less timing reliant than adding stuff to your inventory at the last second. -

miniLHonestly the fact they added portals, but then decide a ton of stuff cannot go through the portal is one of the weirdest decisions I have seen personally. I mean The portal is so we aren't forced to go the same routes over and over, but to bring back your metal you still have to take that same route back, which you could use the portal on the way there.
Though bronze is fine so if you just smelt your stuff by building another forge and smelter in a new tiny base where you put your portal, it's all good and you can smelt everything down and then bring it. Really simply boggled my mind how useless this feature was. -

CalesI understand this restriction to make ships more meaningful (?), but it's really annoying and just time consuming to transfer metals (and you need a lot!) to your home base. Using exploits became quite normal.
Having the possibility to upgrade portals or build larger portals and transfer metals would be maybe an idea to keep the mechanic, but make it less annoying. -

JanI really like the idea to have another tier of portal that allows the teleportation of ores and metal bars. To stick with the initial necessity for sailing and exploring maybe it would be a nice thing to require a really heavy item (perhaps some special runestone foundation) like the dragon eggs for the construction of the portal. That way you would have to be several people, run more than once or use a vehicle with storage to setup the portal at a distant location.
