Configurable Airlock Door

Supercharge Your Duplicant Flow with Configurable Airlock Doors

Tired of your Duplicants bottlenecking at airlock doors, waiting for them to recharge? If you’re using Peter Han’s excellent Airlock Door mod, this companion is about to become essential. Configurable Airlock Door allows you to fine-tune the performance of your existing airlocks, ensuring seamless transit and eliminating those frustrating power-drain slowdowns.

Addressing Stock Annoyances

The core issue with the original Airlock Door, especially in busy areas, is its power consumption versus recharge rate. A Duplicant passing through consumes a significant chunk of energy, but the door’s slow recharge speed means it can quickly brown out, leaving your Duplicants stranded. This mod tackles this head-on by defaulting to a faster recharge rate, keeping up with even the most demanding traffic without sacrificing your base’s power stability.

Tailor-Made Performance

The true power of this mod lies in its extensive customization options, accessible directly from the in-game mod menu. You can tweak every aspect of the airlock’s energy management to perfectly suit your colony’s needs:

• Recharge Power: Adjust how quickly your airlock replenishes its energy stores. The default is set higher than the original, but you can push it even further if required.
• Energy Capacity: Fine-tune the maximum energy the door can hold, allowing for more rapid usage cycles.
• Energy Per Use: Modify the power cost associated with each Duplicant passing through the doorway.

These settings apply to both standard and insulated versions of the Airlock Door, offering consistent control across your base. Changes are applied after a game restart, allowing for immediate implementation.

A Smoother Experience

Beyond performance tuning, this mod also resolves a nagging visual bug. Previously, the airlock’s charge meter would incorrectly display as empty after loading a saved game, even though the stored power was intact. Configurable Airlock Door fixes this, ensuring the charge meter accurately reflects the door’s current energy level upon loading, providing a more polished and reliable experience.

This mod is a lightweight patch, requiring Peter Han’s Airlock Door mod to be installed. It doesn’t introduce new buildings or alter save game structures, making it safe to add or remove at any time. Enhance your colony’s efficiency and keep your Duplicants moving with Configurable Airlock Door!
