Make it impossible for critters to be stuck in doors

[draumkved]

Critters being stuck in doors messes with automation. It does not add any fun or game challenge, only frustration. Can you please make doors push out critters when they close? Push the critter out in the direction it's facing to solve the problem of which direction to choose when both sides are free.

can't, doors are considered tiles for convoluted stupid reasons.

This can be done, with walls in particular, if the critters were bumped to the side like debris is instead of getting stuck or entombed.

It's not a case of can't. The game is a program, and the devs can make whatever changes they prioritise. They can make doors not be tiles if that's the case, or they can make all tiles push out critters. It's not like entombed critters adds any fun gameplay when building other tiles, either.

It's just a bit more manageable to deal with entombed critters when building, since you'll always be supervising the building of new structures. Automated critter management on the other hand can't be supervised all the time, so critters becoming stuck just reduces what kind of automation projects you can achieve.

well since you put it like that, I blame the dev.
