Add a new villager, caravan manager or something, and have talking with them give an option to move to somewhere else on the world. It should move the entire village too, so the respawn point will also be at the teleport destination. And it could even be useful for non-new avatars that way, as there isn't really a need to limit it to .
Visually it could be made as entering a vehicle and being transported quickly to the location, nice fast-travel instead of instant teleportation. Of course that would make it harder to implement.
The biggest issue I really see is not having an easy way to pick a destination using the communication window. Maybe I guess the villager could just suggest a few locations or something. Not like we need teleportation to exact locations, just near enough that we can walk there within reasonable time and have out respawn point not be too far away.
Destination options like "near the mountain of x", "the eastern continent", "the southern isles", or even "near the world's biggest city".
Further iteration of the feature could be applied to airports, asking a pilot to fly us to another airport on the world or in the solar system. Or even subway train stations. We are missing some non-spacecraft travel options like that that don't require piloting skills.
Oooh... Yes, I actually like this idea.
More non-spaceship automatic travel would be good.
And I always thought it didn't make much sense how we can't use the airports to travel to other airports. Or wharf's.
And subways/trains/bus/taxi's I guess could be combined into one type; Land transport. And would be left up to the designers to decide how to make it look.
Which could serve as fast travel points on the same planet. But maybe limited to a certain radius? So you'd like need a Wharf or an Airport to go to the other side of the planet. Or set up a connecting network.
While Wharf's could go to any other wharf connected by water.
And airports to any other airports within the whole solar system.
