It needs to be in a Control Room. And, you need enough Energy and Control to power it.

I belive he means the portal TP power, not the Pillar of ice and flame.

Right, the pillar works fine in both bases. I activate the teleport power but the pet doesn't spawn on the villain side. It works fine on the hero side.

It would seem that one or the other behavior is bugged. But it may be an undocumented feature.
So it has never worked for you in a villain base? Interesting.
I think my bases on Protector are all Hidden plots, I'll check them this evening.
I recently experienced something similar in my Hidden Hero base. The Ouro Portal would not work in one room, but did work in another.
The floors were similar level. The only difference I could see was that it wouldn't work on the floor tiles, but would work off them. I didn't investigate I'm afraid and just put it down to a quirk with the floor tiles.

It's definitely not floor tiles. I have very few in my villain base and I've tried it in a variety of rooms. All of my rooms are at the same elevation though. I guess I could try one of the rooms where I've lowered the floor level and see if it works there... or try the workshop room which hasn't been tried yet. It's hard to do much experimentation since the recharge is so long.|

It is good to know it is sometimes not working in a Hero base and interesting that it works in some rooms but not others. Thanks.
I haven't had a chance to try my Hidden hero bases but none of my villains can summon an O portal in the Hidden villain base no matter the floor elevation or which room I try it in. My rogue on the other hand can summon an O portal in any room in the base.
Ok, I did a whirlwind through 2 hero bases and 2 villain bases trying the O portal and found that all my heroes can summon the portal in any room of both Hidden & Secure bases. None of my villains can summon a portal in any room in either Hidden base although both of my rogues can (one in each base). I do not have any vigilantes so I'm not sure what their result would be.
I've filed a /bug report.
thanks
Until this thread, I had assumed it was wai
I have seen it as well. My assumption was that it failed in bases with lots of objects but my testing methodology is not exactly rigorous.
I'm pretty sure the reason why the O-Portal works in the hero base and not in the villain base is due to the two different Ourboros Zones (called O-Zones for ease) for each side's alignment.
Since Ourboros isn't a co-op area, there is one zone for hero side (accessible to heroes and vigilantes) and one zone for villain side only (accesible to rogues and villains).
I'm pretty sure the designers set it up so that you CAN use the O-Portal in the bases, but I'm sure they didn't set any distinguishing code to differentiate the red-side O-Zone from the hero side's O-Zone.
And all I mentioned above is merely supposition.
TLDR; its a bug that needs to be fixed, in my opinion. Post a bug report on it.
Except it works for Rogues who use the villain O-Zone (LOL).
I did file a bug report in-game. I haven't posted it in tech issues because then I'd be posting the same thread twice and don't want to get slapped for it.
