Description:

Allows Duplicants to pass between areas while maintaining full atmospheric isolation. Replace your liquid locks with real airlocks today!

• Built from 400 Refined Metal and requires the research Improved Ventilation.
• Uses a double door and internal pump to never allow Liquid or Gas to exchange between its sides when Duplicants use the door.
  
  • Does not give the Sopping Wet debuff like a liquid airlock.
  • Cannot boil or freeze (but doors can melt!).
  • Does not interrupt chores like a regular door or checkpoint based airlock.
  • Material is automatically returned to the side from where it came.
  • Operates faster if less material needs to be pumped out of the interior.
• Requires 120 W of power to operate and stores up to 7 uses of energy in its internal battery.
• Supports an Automation input to lock or unlock the door to Duplicant passage.
• Access control can be configured like a regular door, and settings can be copied between Airlock Doors.

• Duplicants may become trapped if the Airlock Door loses power during operation, especially during heavy use.
• Airlock Door cannot be set to Open and cannot be locked or unlocked manually.
• Duplicants must hold their breath inside of the Airlock Door during operation, as the atmosphere is vacuumed during passage. Atmo Suit or similar Oxygen-providing clothing is still recommended for traversing unbreathable areas.
• Airlock Door, despite containing Vacuum between its doors most of the time, can transfer heat between its sides through its backwall.
• Consider building the Power wire first before the door, as the door cannot open without power, and Duplicants can only reach errands inside the door if it is powered.
• Do not build Airlock Door directly on top of another Mechanized Airlock or Airlock Door, as the door may malfunction on reload depending on which one is loaded and initialized first.
