Some kind of space-time machine? See some discussion at #406 .

We could make a reference to Hitchhikers guide and have:

The last ingredient could be completely useless on its own and its description could just poke fun at how it's just a combination of words that make no sense together.

It could be fun to add some randomness for non-system robot teleportation. Both in space and time - but I am not sure how we could remove the teleported robot from the map for some time until it reappears. 🤔

We could goof around with some more improbable effects in the area, like randomly changing a few entities. 😄

* `tea plant` (which now spawns rarely in a certain biome of the classic world) can be harvested to yield...
* `tea leaves`, which can be combined with `water` to produce...
* `cup of tea`, which, along with `atomic vector plotter` (= `rubber band` + `typewriter` + `compass` + `counter`), are ingredients for...
* `infinite improbability drive`, which enables `teleport`.

When used by a privileged robot (system robot or in creative mode), the `teleport` command continues to function as before.  When used by an unprivileged robot, that is, via the `infinite improbability drive` device, a random entity spawns somewhere near the target location.

Closes #1041.
