What doors do you guys use.

[[B&E] Killer Pineapple]

I'm in the process of fitting granite walls and doors accross my base however I just discoved wooden doors open very quickly.

Although they are flimsy overall this is a huge plus to productivity.

I'm sure the raiders will really appreciate all that productivity when the come to take what you've produced.

I go with all granite; doesn't burn like metal or plasteel, and has the highest HP for stone.

outdoors or likely place of explosions or fire = granite or other stone
indoors = steel
upgrade to plasteel when available
wood is nice for indoors when not under a mountain but if in a mountain you need the extra resilience instead of the flimsy wood
stone is treally slow tho so its not really worth the extra protection for a door that gets used more then a few times a day

Never go with stone. Painfully slow to open. Interior doors in a building I usually make wooden whereas exterior doors on the outside of a particular building I make steel. They may burn but steel takes a while to burn through and so long as the walls are stone then the fire can't spread that effectively.

steel inside ur base stone at r exterior wall and u set untill u get plasteel anyway

Wood at first for the speed, then research auto doors and switch to heavy stone, granite for preference. Though mostly that's just for external doors that are likely to be attacked.

even stone auto doors are slower than wood, steel and plasteel

Thanks for the replys guys =D great tips!!

[Rav3n]

Plasteel for walls and doors? You guys must be rolling in it. Heavy traffic doors I use autodoors. Otherwise I use wood. Fortifications always have granite.

[Ashardalon]

no just doors
even wih autodoors stone will be slower then a unpowered plasteel door
using it for walls is kindof a waste but its a great material for doors

[ignis]

Doors - wooden initially, then plasteel whan have more of it than can use for something better. Doors won't really save you from anything, so no reason to bother. Only using stone doors for geothermal generator walls, since it doesn't matter if they are slow there, and being fireproof can be a good thing for a distant structure. Walls - wooden initially, stone ASAP. Usually limestone, looks good and is durable.

Stone... usually granite.

Yes they are slower, but I'm willing to trade the speed for durability and fire proof. Much like why most of the base is stone with stone tiles. Keep fires from spreading too far, as well as strength.

Only exceptions are usually temp buildings or the infirmary which I focus on clean and infection reductions

Which is why I said I only use them for outer doors that need to have high defence.

Mostly wood indoors. Jail cells have steel autodoors. Exits are doubled steel autodoors. Doors that breach the perimeter wall, however, are stone. Since the perimeter wall has 2 openings I only vary rarely see anyone or anything try to break through those doors. They tend to just head toward the openings and into a field of lead, or they'll start bashing at the wall itself.

The fastest door is the open door. It doesn't matter what it's made of.

Always wood, everywhere, the entire game. Wood is faster, and the difference in health between a wood and steel door doesn't make a difference in any situation. Wood will hold up well enough against animals and unarmed pawns that you can repair it and keep them out/in, and a group of raiders bashing your door with clubs/swords is going to nearly instantly destroy a steel door anyway. Flammability doesn't matter, raiders aren't going to set a door on fire, and if there's nothing around the door that's flammable then a random lightning strike hitting it wont be a concern either.

For an outer door, the higher health it has the less likely raiders are to go for it compared to a random wall. If you have a plasteel door in your killbox and marble walls protecting your base, there's a good chance raiders are just going to decide to go through the first wall they see instead of trying to hit the door in your killbox. A wooden door is much better bait.
