Adding Additional Base Portals to other Zones

You eventually got to your answer thru your own research, but I will recap it in order for you:
Teleporters are crafted items made on a Basic Forge or Basic Worktable (available in the base editor when you are standing in a room that can hold them).
They require 3 pieces of invention salvage - you can find the exact recipes in PlasmaStream's stickied thread above or in the Wiki or by opening up the forge or worktable. (Pro tip - there is one recipe at each level of salvage, and the lowest salvage level one is usually the most expensive since it needs a Luck Charm).
Teleporters must be placed in Transport rooms. The 1X2 Transport will hold 1 teleporter with 1 beacon attached. For a single person SG, this will be sufficient if you are trying to save Prestige. Just switch out the Beacon every time you need to go to a different zone -make sure all your alts have sufficient rank to edit the base.
Beacons are available after you gather all the exploration badges for a zone while playing in SG mode. They will appear under the Transport tab of the base editor when you are standing in a room that can hold them and cost 10K Prestige each (selling one back to buy another is a "zero sum" transaction, that's why I suggesting doing that for a single person SG). The Wiki has pictures of each location for the exploration badges BTW.
You will need to hop back into SG mode to afford all this though. There is a Prestige cost to having even a single teleporter - placement has a cost, the beacon has a cost, they require Control & Energy (which cost), etc.
You can, of course, have bigger transport rooms and more teleporters, but that costs Prestige you don't have right now (and it would take a bit of playing, not an excessive amount,to get).
Just curious - why aren't you continually playing in SG mode?

Having only one toon with a Super Group Base, I have not taken full advantage yet of what the SG Base can do for my toon. I am still very new to the "building" of bases and the advantages of adding additional portals or teleports to other zones.
My question is how to locate and purchase or add a new portal within my base that will allow me to travel to other zones via the portals. I was invited to a mish that was on the far end of Creys Folly, and the Lead said just use my SG Portal to get there. I only have about 5k in Prestige so far as I don't normally go SG Mode but may have to to earn more Prestige. I checked on paragonwiki and they just cover the basics. If I remember correctly, I think someone once said that I would have to cover all the "explore" badges for that particular zone in order to have the ability to TP to that zone, does that sound right?
As I was viewing more of paragonwiki I did find what they call a Basic Telepad for 15k Prestige and a Raid Telepad for 75k. Not sure of the difference though? Ha,..as I read more of paragonwiki it has what they call Becon Badges. One obtains the Beacon supergroup badge by visiting all that particulart zones exploration badge locations while in supergroup mode. Hmmmm. Okay then maybe this is it?
