Orange Gems or even sandstones should be the better gem used on Telelocator focus as an upgrade

Just think about it, it transports, both resources are more or less underutilized if not played in singleplayer or when not teleporting around with staff in general cause wanting to save up on uses. Just being able to maybe extend you range of teleportation using sandstones or orange gems by using foci should be a better option we could get to use in both surface and caves.

If that structure is gonna be as underutilized for self transport as is often, might as well consider something like an alternative to using one of Lazy Deserters. Deserters being better in multiplayer as they'd be cheaper, telefoci should be used for general use for yourself with proper setups of travel.

It's always been a dream of mine of changing the way how you use the telelocator focus with orange gems and the lazy explorer. For consistency, since the structure does teleport and orange gems are the space gem, economy, since orange gems piles up, and history, since the item was invented when orange gems still didn't exist.

As for a rework of both items, I really don't know how they would be reworked, but I'll bump this post to enlight the problem as it's really important.

It's a tough topic for sure, way back when teleportation clearly had an intended cost but as time goes on that seems to have shifted. Character specific options as well as multiplayer alternatives have certainly been the culprits in shaking things up, but that is on purpose. I guess the telelocator is kinda a remnant of single player design which makes sense, how to make it better yet balanced is a tricky subject but it is doable. 

I wonder if magicall upgrade kits would be a viable option, or some way of empowering magical items. I am hoping that maxwell has some sort of interaction like this come the skill tree but I would rather the tele focus where a bit better, heck same goes for the nightmare amulet. Like really, why is the nightmare amulet so gem intensive for what it is and how short it last? Honestly magic items could use a bit of a touch up. (well some of em' not all... looking at you NIGHT LIGHT)
