So here's a rethink.
the ingredients have to make some kind of sense and they have to be found near podbays. I reckon the basic thing needs four main parts:
Wormhole creating device - pod engine
Fuel source - welding fuel tank
Something for the wormhole to be directed with - hollow pipe frame
Location chooser - GPS
Yes the pod engine is currently hard to get, but why not make it buildable at pod part manufacturers or just a few spares in a crate or on a table?
So.
1. Screwdriver pod engine, to manually open the connections
2. Attach hollow pipe frame to pod engine, creating an "engine/pipeframe assembly"
3. Attach gps to engine/pipeframe assembly
4. Attach engine/pipeframe/gps assembly to a welding fuel tank
5. Screwdriver to secure (welding seems dodgy)
How does it work?
You click on it and it opens the same menu as the pod wormhole, to create wormholes. The cooldown is a bit longer though.
Use a wrench to adjust the direction in which the portal is activated.
You can only create wormholes on reinforced tiles and space tiles.
Of you weld holes in the bottom of a closet and travel in the wormhole like that, the gib chance disappears and the mutation chance is lessened.
How does it go wrong?
Small chance to warp to wrong location(from list)
Small chance for warp energy to shoot out and hit you, randomly teleporting you.
Usual wormhole ill effects.
Is super innefficient and uses fuel like crazy so will run out eventually, requiring refilling with fuel source OR dismantling(screwdriver, crowbar) and attaching to new welding fuel tank.
Device can be emagged for explosive/warpy effects.
