Glass and Wooden Doors, ( and non doors )

[The Plum Gate]

Some other options for door, glass and wood, perhaps in a decoration branch of research. This might save us a bit on the metal usage where we don't need it. It seems only fitting though that we get interior type doors at some point - wood and glass come to mind, they need not be as material durable for non industrial type settings.

The large majority of the time, I need to make a room ( and use a door ) - only to leave the door open to allow faster transit. Some other type of door or room demarcation border pieces would be nice for this scenario. Perhaps a special backdrop tile could perform this task ( I like to imagine the alternating black and yellow caution pattern ) - Not every room needs a door after all, I don't expect plants to escape the greenhouse, or generators to wander off from the generator room.

I have recommended curtains in the past, as a sort of mid game non-door, but this leads to materials not readily available on multi-world map starts. Reed fiber was the topic of that request. Maybe paint can be a thing - after all, we have oil, drywall, etc. On swampy start, I have been dismayed to find no thimble reeds - this could be added to the starter biome as a sort of rarity - though it will be interesting to see if they ever show up in the care packages.

How about plastic doors. Plastic is used for just about everything irl. It could get more uses in ONI.

Only thing to add is +1!

'Ornate', yes please

the wood works mod in steam looks pretty amazing, tbh.

wrought iron also comes to mind

Simple gates would be interesting, like saloon doors.

I second glass doors, not as fancypants alternative, but as a better thermal conductor for all them ice box cooling designs.
