Vent Troubles

[Darkchaos]

Hey guys. One of the vents in my airlock doesn't work, even though the second one with a nearly identical configuration does. How do I fix this? Screenshot below.

Can only assume your configuration in the controller is wrong.

I think you don't hook it up on the console.

If you're trying to used the console with the default airlock circuit then you can only connect one vent, one sensor and two airlock doors. So using multiple sensors or active vents is not possible.

But why do you want to use two vents or even two sensor? You get the same reading from both and the vent can be switched between outward or inward direction.

More vents in the same airlock lead to faster cycles, which is great if you don't want to wait ages for a cycle to be done. You're wrong though. In my tests, it IS possible to use multiple vents with an airlock control. Vents are just... finicky. Even without an airlock control sometimes they just... spit out errors. Even if they're properly connected to a pipe network. There's some sort of reason this is happening, but we don't know what it is. It just seems random.

Try to REconstract bad vent. Often helps not only with vents but with all 'bugged' mechanisms.

This doesn't always work, from my experience. Sometimes only moving pipes does. This is a really weird issue.
