Closing Powered Door on Siren Alarm

[DaddyJokee]

A question came up in a thread. How to make inversed switches. You can't. However, you still can make your doors close when a siren is sounded.

You will need two circuits. One, the settmelent's main circuit, connected to the siren.

Your second circuit is a small generator, or a windmill.

Make a line directly from the generator of circuit 2 to the door (you can use pylons and conduits to make it go further)

Then place a laser tripwire in front of the siren, and connect it to the generator of circuit two on a parallel line. That means there are two different wires going from the generator. One to the door and one to the trip wire.

Then place the new water pump that requires 4 power and connect it to the trip wire.

You can place other objects instead of the water pump, however, you will need an object that will singlehandedly overload the generator. I tried placing 4 construction lights, but what happens is two lights come on, door stays open and two lights don't turn on. So you need something that will take all the power away from the door, e.g. the pump.

When you, or your settlers run to activate the siren, they trip the laser tripwire, which powers the pump, stealing all the power from the door, and the door shuts. Because the siren is on a different circuit, the siren will still be on, and your settlers will run around, guns at the ready.

Enjoy this marvel of Fallout engineering. Puts Prywden in it's place.

There is a mod that makes all doors into powered doors with a power node, thing. I was able to shut in all the settlers before a feral ghoul attack, but they just popped out anyways, so I'm not sure it matters.

But you can make an inverse switch...

Genny (3 power) connected directly to a powered door.

A switch off of the same genny connected to 4 power worth of lighting/turrets whatever you want.

When the switch is off the door is powered directly from the generator. When you turn the switch on the circuit overloads and the door is not powered anymore.

This is an inverse switch.

Except switch isn't something settlers power on by themselves.

Awesome! thanks MrJokee

You're welcome.

You can do it with the NAND logic gate. Check out my video here: https://youtu.be/K4VAqEXM_uE

Well. Yes, you can. This guide was pre logic gates.

Yeah, I just wanted to update the post just in case someone else was looking for the information. Like I was before I figured out the logic gate thing.

This is good. Thanks. I haven't toyed around with it yet, although my settlements could definitely benefit from it. By it I mean logic gates.

Np, hope it helped.
