acolyteofrocket Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Designing my evil trap to drown hatches by dropping them in water, when the doors over the trap open the hatches still walk on top of the door - darned sneaky critters ! - Note doors are mounted horizontally. Is there a way to drop hatches into a water trap, or do I have to make the water come to the hatch, so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Yes. Vertical doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acolyteofrocket Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Just now, Saturnus said: Yes. Vertical doors. Any idea if this will remain the designed behaviour, or will it be patched out ? I noticed the vertical door issue mentioned in this forum as a bug, hence my question...

Literally no one has a clue what will or will not be patched/changed at a later date. Least of all Klei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 An alternative is to use mech door to push water up though mesh tiles to drown hatches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acolyteofrocket Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 I swung the door to the vertical and it worked - meat is now automated ;-), although I do still deliver the food manually, and of course grooming is manual. Another round of iteration calls .... Thx for the help guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foefaller Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I honestly hope the "walking/crawling critter can't pass though horizontal door" stays in, makes it SO much easier to keep the blasted Dreckos where they are suppose to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My preference would be to let them through if the doors open, but I do remember how this might be annoying if you are trying to explore without disturbing the environment too much in the early game.

And can we use a rocket engine without an actual rocket attached to make burnt BBQ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamLogan Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hatchs or any creatures don't fall from horizontal door but eggs do. Personnaly, I use that to extract my eggs from my ranching room as well don't need to use the auto-sweeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakeos can pass through open horizontal doors. It's just morbs and hatches that can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
