pathfinding has to be tweaked. globs will not only ask for wheat gradient but 
also for teleporter's wheat level and gradient.
to ease teleporter use i would do pathfinding like:
if(wheat_gradient > 240)
        use old algo
else
        if(teleporter_gradient && teleporters_wheat_level
                walk the teleporters gradient
