Argelle Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I was to set an automation circuit to kick on the dispenser, open doors in serie, etc... when to my surprise the regolith go right through the doors! Is it because regolith got the same propriety as sand? Well while I am at it, does someone has a way to improve on this automation? clock set to 1% -> send a green signal 6 sec per cycle -> to automatic dispenser releasing regolith and to first door to open. The buffer is set to 5 sec so it takes that long to open => both doors open for 1 seconde (regolith falls down to shove voles pit). May be there is a better way to send just a pulse for a short time, but i can only think of a clock.

The description for the pneumatic door says it doesn't stop liquids or gases, but it doesn't mention that it also doesn't stop solids like falling debris or wrangled critters. Need a manual airlock or the mechanized airlock to stop things; but those doors won't stop the shove voles, so you should still keep one pneumatic door between the metal floor tiles Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/111829-regolith-through-doors/#findComment-1261469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharraShimada Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Mesh doors let nearly everything pass through. The are only an obstacle for free critters and for dupes.

BLACKBERREST3 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I use pneumatic doors all the time for segmenting rooms and critter traps. They have their uses.
