Guide (Airlock)
From Unofficial Stationeers Wiki
Description[edit]
An airlock is a chamber that can evacuate, modify, or fill its internal volume with differing atmospheres and has two or more airtight portals which all do not open simultaneously. Thus, an airlock allows passage between two or more environments without the exchange of gases or pressures between the connected atmospheres.
Variants[edit]
Airlock applications include:
| Guide Variants | Defining Component | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Atmosphere to Atmosphere | 1 x Circuitboard (Advanced Airlock) | Traverse between two environment with differing atmospheres |
| Atmosphere to Vacuum | 1 x Circuitboard (Airlock) | Traverse between a (near) vacuum environment and a pressurized environment |
| Docking Ports | 1 x Kit (Mothership) | Traverse between a stationary base and a Mothership, or between Motherships |
Whichever route you take, it is good practice to put an Area Power Controller inside the airlock to allow a user to power it using batteries should a stations power grid fail.
If you want to relocate, modify or remove an existing airlock setup, make sure to first disable all the device references set up in the console's Circuitboard using the Data Disk. This will ensure that the said Circuitboard will remain fully operational, rather than "ruined" by the deprecated links to objects that cannot be undone, and that doors and vents will be unlocked properly for manual operation before being dismantled or uninstalled.
