Hermetic & Insulated Airlocks

Mastering Containment: Hermetic & Insulated Airlocks for Oxygen Not Included

In the unforgiving environment of Oxygen Not Included, managing your colony’s atmosphere and resources is paramount. Introducing the Hermetic & Insulated Airlocks mod, a powerful addition designed to enhance your control over gas, liquid, and thermal environments. This mod provides crucial new tools for Duplicant-focused transit points, ensuring that your carefully cultivated biomes remain isolated and stable.

Sealing the Deal: Hermetic Airlocks Explained

The core of this mod lies in its ability to create truly impermeable seals. Unlike standard doors, these hermetic variants maintain their seal against gasses, liquids, and even stray solid debris, even as they operate. This prevents unwanted environmental bleed-through, a critical factor in maintaining gas pressure, temperature regulation, and preventing contamination between different areas of your base.

Variety for Every Need

The Hermetic & Insulated Airlocks mod offers a range of options to suit different operational requirements and power budgets:

• Hermetic Manual Airlock: A simple, unpowered solution for less trafficked areas. While slower, it provides a reliable, leak-proof seal without energy consumption.
• Hermetic Mechanized Airlock: For high-traffic zones, this powered option offers rapid transit. Consuming 120W, it balances speed with the essential hermetic sealing capabilities.
• Insulated Hermetic Mechanized Airlock: This premium variant, identifiable by its distinct orange hue, boasts both excellent sealing and strong insulation. Drawing 240W, it’s ideal for separating extreme temperature zones, preventing costly thermal energy transfer.

Seamless Integration and Design

Worried about clunky new mechanics? Fear not. The mod developers have focused on integrating these new doors seamlessly into the existing game. They retain the familiar door animations, access control settings, and pathfinding behaviors you’re accustomed to. The hermetic sealing is applied with precision, ensuring that simulation cells are correctly managed after the door’s state changes, preserving the integrity of your base’s environment.

This mod is compatible with both the base Oxygen Not Included game and the Spaced Out! expansion. By offering enhanced containment solutions, the Hermetic & Insulated Airlocks mod empowers players to build more robust, efficient, and secure colonies than ever before.
