Is there any negatives to holding a door open?

[Doctor Gualtieri]

Doors of course have the ability to be held open permanently. Are there negatives to this function? Not mentioning defense or temperatures of course.

Thanks!

Colonists can suffer from 'disturbed sleep', but that's just a minor annoyance.

I didn't know about that. Does it affect beauty?

It doesn't effect moods at all.
Except for the "Was recently eaten by a wild animal" mood.

It might effect temperature, also Raiders can walk right through the open doors.

Aside from the already mentioned, not really. Animals and guests can open doors on their own; colonists might get 'disturbed sleep' if something loud happens right outside the door; temp and defence-related things you know already, and the positive side of not having your movement hindered is obvious.

One fairly obscure thing to be aware of is that, I'm not sure if wooden floor tiles in stone doorways can burn if the door is open, and if it changes when the door is closed, though, so that calls for additional testing.

Winter is coming! Hold the door! You can wait inside until mad animals fall asleep or die from starvation.

If you do it right, it can actaully be a good trap system.

This is what I do with an open door. Make a room with some garbage furniture in it so they charge in to destroy it with at least 5x doors open. When they go in, shut off open, and have a colonists rush through them real quick, throw one molotov, and out with the doors closing behind him. 1000 degree room, and entire armies wiped out without a shot fired.

I keep my colonist bedroom doors closed, they only pass through those twice a day so not much time lost and it prevents disturbed sleep. I keep the hospital door closed but I upgrade to autodoor asap, when there are colonists sleeping in there the disturbed sleep + bad mood from being sick has caused problems for me. The fridge airlock doors I keep closed to keep everything from thawing. The main base doors I keep closed to keep animals out. The workshop, party room, dining room and kitchen doors I keep open.
