Airlock Door

Amazing work! Something I didn't get it. It changes temperature so fast. It was on -20 Celsius degrees but after a few uses it reached to 50 degrees and more per use.

This Should Be Vanilla: Airlock Door

Fixes a design smell. Liquid locks are clever, but they’re also an exploitish workaround. A powered double-door with a vacuummed vestibule is what a real colony would build. This mod brings that logic into the game loop.

Costs and counters are balanced.
120 W draw, refined-metal cost, research gate (Improved Ventilation), and limited internal battery (7 uses) make it a meaningful choice, not a free upgrade. If you cut power, you create failure modes-exactly the kind of “interesting risk” ONI is built on.

What Klei could adopt/tweak
Late-mid tech node. Slot it after Improved Ventilation (or alongside Atmo Suit tech).

Verdict
Airlock Door hits the sweet spot: engineering-authentic, systemically fair, and fun to design around. It solves a decades-old community pain point (liquid locks) with a solution that feels like Klei designed it. If any mod deserves to go vanilla, it’s this one.

Bjeboj. Its not my opinion, "kid". Its a fact that the mod is pretty bad. Plain and simple. Its ok if you want to use it for asthetic purposes but for the love of god dont tell me you use it because of its functionallity.. dupes will pile up and they will end up giving up going through that door unless its the only entrance. I tried to build two doors to aliviate the bottleneck, but its no use, dupes will always try to go through one. So, yup. Good idea terrible implementation. And dont bring my mother to this conversation stupid braindead kid, please.

Бессполезный мод, дверь слишком неудобная и массивная, подойдет любителям РП но не более.

N3mes1s, If you don't use the mod and think it's a simplification of the game, then get the hell out of here. Your mom told you that your opinion is just your opinion and if it doesn't agree with the opinion of others, it doesn't mean that they're all idiots and you're the smartest.

hey i have a bug where dups will go to the airlock door have the first one open then never walk into the middle and just stand there. and i can't get them to move threw it at all

And yup, again any modder that tells me i need to go to github to report anything... is a modder i dont want to know anything about. Plain and simple. And a mod i will never use.

Dude, usually modders do things to make the game easier, more fun or whatever. Who in h3ck would make a mod that is the opposite to it? stop blaming people for complaining about a mod that makes thing harder, and the opposite of fun. If the author did this for personal use, then he should remove it from the public, plain and simple. I get some people would love for asthetics prupose to build this door instead of a water lock, but .. they will realize after 2 hours seeing dupes getting stuck and wasting time that is a bad terrible idea.

@n3mes1s people like you are why modders do things like this. Modders don't owe you updates, they don't owe you explanations, they make these things FOR FREE . Be grateful that they even post these things, because oftentimes they've made them because it's something they wanted for themselves and they have no obligation to make their mods available for the public.

Hate seeing people come here and bitch and moan that modders aren't bending over backwards to accommodate players. Learn to mod if you're so impatient and entitled.

Also im so tired of modders posting their creations in here and then avoid updating in here to redirect people to github. Sigh. What they do that? whats the point? stop wasting our time, sigh.
