base doors wont close?

[Bushybeard123.TTV]

I just built a base using prefab parts i learned from the nexus, a round room , put a door on it and I find that the door will not close, its always open. is this how its supposed to be? is there something im doing wrong that i can change / fix so that the doors of my bases will close?

Some doors need to be powered--you'll see little power nodes on either side of the lower door frame--and then they'll close. Good idea to install a switch between the power source and the door node so you can open and close it (I've been placing such switches on both sides of my doors).

If you connect power to the door, through a prox sensor and inverter, it will work as before.

But the electrical system in the game is bugged the door can work for a while, but then suddenly it does not open, then you have to delete and rebuild it, so I would not bother to plug it in, until all the bugs are fixed.
