Automatic Doors

Raptor2213 shared this feedback ago

Not Enough Votes

The biggest QoL improvement I use in SE1 is automatic doors. It's bad enough to have to click a door, then turn around and click it again, but it's even worse to click a door panel, then turn around and have to click a panel that's on the opposite side. It's unintuitive. Having automatic doors - perhaps as an upgrade to basic ones would be a nice QoL improvement for SE2.

Could the door only be automatic if the pressure levels are the same each side of the door?

Would be a good idea too. Mostly, I'm just tired of having to open and close every single door myself.

I think it could be done in a way that you use sensor. More engineering with such solution.

thats what sensors are for... when they show up, u make your own auto door! just walk thru it atm since they do nothing in this current state

I tried to do that once, in SE1. Couldn't make heads or tails of sensors. Eventually said "screw it" and downloaded a script.

As blocks can be made multi-functional now, sensors could be part of the door.

I have heard no word on whether sensors can detect pressure levels yet.

Would the door require 3 sensors and several logic gates, 2 sensors for pressure detection and 1 for character detection?

Doors will have to keep water back as well as keeping air in.

Sensors are already a thing. On detect open, on stop detecting close, though additional features to detect things like air and water would be cool.

Sensors, as they were in SE1, are an incomprehensible mess.

...They really aren't, I had door-sensors figured out about 10 min after I realized how tedious having multiple doors in a base was in the first server I played. You can toggle the ability to see a sensor's detection area in the terminal to help set where you want it to detect, and setting actions to open and close a door isn't that hard.

No, they really are. I tried multiple times to find any use or way to use a sensor, and never got a single one to do anything whatsoever.

...So you slapped one down, probably either tied it to the wrong door or incorrectly set the detection/area, removed and replaced it with the exact same settings a few times when it didn't work, and gave up?... I'm sure there are tutorials beyond count to help with setup, but if you really want me to I can give you a hand with that.

A sensor that can detect pressure and chemistry is a must on doors.

What would the logic be?
