We have just one boring type of airlock. I have ideas for upgraded airlocks, without taking away the current airlocks. You should be able to upgrade to more advanced types of airlocks.
I really think that these should be added to the mod. Tell me what you think!
- Tier 1- The current airlocks.
- Tier 2- Smart airlocks: They can be set to auto-open when both sides are pressurized with breathable air (or lacking it), and auto-close when one side is no longer breathable. It auto-opens if those conditions are met, without being approached by players or activated by redstone.
- This would be useful for space bases that are sectioned with these airlocks in such a way that when someone makes a breach in one section, the airlocks around that section close, keeping the rest of the base habitable.
- Tier 3- Forcefield airlocks: Airlocks that generate a forcefield that keeps the air in. Can also automatically activate and deactivate the same way Tier 2 airlocks would, except it would have a forcefield instead of a solid barrier. It should be configurable to set the solidity of the forcefield, so small projectiles cannot pass through, but larger entities can pass through. It would probably have a scale of 1-5 to toggle the solidity between.
- Useful for hangar bays and areas where you want to look at and go outside without having to make a compression chamber.
