True airlock

[Apsmar]

I would love to see a 3 tile true airlock that fills the airlock with air from the side you enter, then exchanges it with air from the other side. this would allow for both true no contamination airlock and water proof airlocks.  make them a step after what is in the game right now.

I think its kinda possible with  pumps. Needs some work tho.

You could probably do it yourself quite easily, it'd be a bit bigger than three tiles though.

Whether this should be added as an actual item or just left as something a player can make on their own though...

One object would be nice and simple solution, but what I would like to see are tools ingame to build one. Aka some simple deciders and logical circuits to automate decision logic on it. And other things. Yes, I did play Factorio recently, don't judge me.

Understandable, but I doubt its kind of gameplay they are aiming for.

I agree with this completely, and have been thinking of how this could be done, as well as wondering if I should make a drawing of the idea; because visual aids help

There are a few ways to make pure airlocks, be them through water or through the normal airlocks, though the method with the usual airlocks kind of destroys things. So if you used it with water, it would constantly destroy your water every time you went through the water pure-lock.

I wouldn't even mind it if they used power, and could only be used WHEN they had power. It would basically be the opposite of the mesh tile; it allows Dupes to pass through, but not gas or water, where the mesh tiles allow gas and water, but not Dupes.
