Alien Warp Gates are pieces of Precursor technology. They resemble large gateways and have a green, semi-transparent portal within. The Prawn Suit and the Seamoth have the ability to enter Alien Warp Gates.

When the player enters an Alien Warp Gate, it plays an SFX similar to when a Warper warps the player.

Warp Gate Types

Master

The Master Warp Gates have pedestals and must be powered using an Ion Crystal. They are connected to a slave Warp Gate.

Slave

The Slave Warp Gates do not have pedestals, and their corresponding master Warp Gates must be activated before these gates can be used.

Scans indicate this warp gate has not been active since the facility was abandoned. It likely served as an access point to the surface of the planet. It is much too small for the emperor specimen to pass through, but may accommodate a juvenile specimen.
