QuantumPion Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I think they should make the current airlock directional (and rotatable), to work like a gas diode. It always pushes gas inside it in its forward direction and blocks gas from passing through the other side. Then to get a full air lock you put two of them back to back.

Where would the gas go if you have a setup like door-> space <-door Both doors would push more gas in the "space" with every use and it can never get out...

So, do you have any presumptuous observations you want hurl my way based on those two points? Sure! Let me re-iterate the key phrases: I like it and don't want it gone. It's realistic It's how ONI works, it's a game I never said you had to use them. (Presents picture of waterlock being a thing IRL, gets called out, then proceeds to say that principle is the same isn't equal to concept being the same). I know what I said. 51 minutes ago, goboking said: Speaking of hypocrisy... If you paid close attention, you would have noticed that I never once said I didn't want waterlocks in the game, I'm arguing about the fact that they overshadow pretty much any counterpart for minimal investment, with few (see @nakomaru arguments) downsides compared to it's intended counterparts. The alternatives are either fragile, deletes gases or costs a ton of materials and power. It takes almost no effort to construct one, it's compact and it's accessible almost right out of the gate. There are few reasons to consider another approach.

Hmm I guess they could just delete gas instead as they do now.
