Airlock ERROR IN CONFIG

[lemmy101]

Driving me INSANE. I've watched about every single tutorial video on the internet, read every guide, including the step by step on the wiki.

I have two airlocks, pointing inward, wired up, active vent piped to passive vent, I have a gas sensor and a flashing light (tried without the light too) a console that I set up to

Sensor
Exterior
Interior
Light (tried without)
Vent

Take disc out, ERROR IN CONFIG every time.

There's one google search result for: stationeers airlock "error in config" and it's in russian, doesn't contain the word 'airlock' and leads to a deleted page. I just can't understand what's going on or why no one else on the net is having my issue or has had it in the past.

I'm at the end of my tether here been messing with this damn thing for like half a day and just can't fathom why it wouldn't be working when every guide, tutorial video seems to suggest it should be, if anyone can help please I much appreciated it!

have had the sameissue multpile times. try a few steps

1) pull all the airlock circuit boards and start fresh with brand new ones

2) pull the consoles and replace

3) hit the airlock controls on the doors themsleves, for me this has acutally reset the error config on the airlock console and it all works

I've rebuilt the entire system including consoles from scratch about no joke 20 times. :( thanks for the suggestions I guess I'll keep banging my head off it.

One thing I do notice is it says ERROR IN CONFIG in green where if I don't have stuff connected it's ERROR IN CONFIG in grey. Not sure if that's relevant.

3) seemed to do the trick after hammering at the airlock controls for a while! Thanks for your help!

Saw this last night on a setup that's been previously working. It's likely a bug and needs reported on discord.

I'm having similar problems.

I've torn down the whole airlock and rebuilt several times but I'm still getting the "Error In Config" message and the doors won't cycle by pressing the airlock door buttons.

Like Verrtig0, i've seen this on other airlocks, but this is the first time it's actually blocked me from cycling via the doors.

Somewhere else someone posted that you have to have the doors in a specific configuration to get airlocks working.

Exterior door must be open.

Interior door must be close.

Make sure the right doors are open BEFORE you select all the items in the config console.

If you screw up an Airlock Circuitboard YOU MUST BUILD A NEW ONE to fix it. They seem to be keeping their configuration state even if you pull them out of the console and reseat them.

@OP are you using advanced airlock circuit boards or standard airlock circuitboards? The Advanced Boards need 2 vents :P (both active)

Also the first door you press in the config menu is assumed to be the exterior door, dont just go top to bottom, make sure you hit the right one first. You can tell beacuse the lights change when you hit the button.

OR you can just rename the doors with the labeller and make sure the exterior one is the one that actually goes outside :P

As long as you select the Exterior door FIRST in the config. It assigns whatever door you click first to exterior.

I hope rocket2guns changes this to work the same as Active Vents. Airlocks could have a switch on the door that specify which way they are configured.

Was referring to the need to cut the lights - If you rename the doors the button labels on the console update to match - from there it lists to the right of the device name what role it will play if selected next.

Edit: Incase they missed my query above I'm still interested in if this person was using adv. boards or the normal ones -- because there is a significant difference in how they have to be setup (namely advanced boards need 2 seperate vent/storage networks and won't work with passive vent techniques)

For me helps - save game -> close game -> start again from saved game -> fixed ;)

I had this problem with the advanced airlock actually... unselecting the doors but leaving the sensor and vent selected, reselecting doors seemed to get it going, I think from memory

[MechanID]

Current state of selected doors very important, if you se an error - deselect doors and close opened door, and open closed. then try again.
