Pokopia Portal Pod Guide: How to Get, Recipe & Storage
Learn how to get and use the Portal Pod in Pokopia, find two Bubbly Basin copies, print more Pods, and use shared storage while crafting.
Quick answer
The Portal Pod is a free Version 2.0 storage item. Once two or more are placed, every Portal Pod opens the same shared inventory. It holds up to 80 item stacks, so it is most useful for materials and food you need in more than one area.
