Not working for me. Author makes great mods. Hope they update this if there is something wrong.

@General Madman yes working for me just confirmed, on WC / LWTS main mods
General Madman Sep 7 @ 3:58pm 
is this mod still working?

To the two folks wanting a way to see if the door is open or closed: may I present to you --> Event controller tied to a light block, turn light red if open green if closed

@Nemui It's not a proper solution, but hook up a projector with a BP of a force field that comes on when the field is active.
Nemui Dec 12, 2024 @ 6:42pm 
I don't like that the force field is invisible. I can't tell if the force field is active without a visual effect over the field area

Gates go in the wrong direction
Valkyrie Ice Oct 26, 2024 @ 7:28pm 
mod is fixed, working again for me
GoddessGaming1520 Oct 24, 2024 @ 10:05pm 
does this work still?
azfalt Oct 24, 2024 @ 4:51pm 
Still would be nice if there were a colour indicator for open or closed like the door's on/off mode.
Current green for safe (closed), red for unsafe (open)

Mod is broken since contact. Plz fix if possible, I use this mod extensively.
Emperors_Nightmare Oct 16, 2024 @ 8:23am 
is broken
snideblade Oct 15, 2024 @ 5:51am 
Is it just me, or is this mod broken since the contract update
The Erubian Warlord Aug 4, 2024 @ 6:06am 
anybody know how this works with the Water mod?
thesnowfox84 Apr 14, 2024 @ 1:04pm 
works great make sure all blocks above and below these are airtight and works fine only draw back is there no visual of it working want a true sci-fi feel may want to do something with a projector
kitson gaming Feb 27, 2024 @ 6:26pm 
it doesn't work, it let's out all of the air even when closed
ButtKraken Jan 31, 2024 @ 11:53am 
These did not work well for me at all. They let the oxygen out into space behind Angled Hangar Doors mod. Not sure about other hangar doors or gates. Star Wars Hangar Field mod seemed to work fine with oxygen and the same angled hangar doors.

Should add some kind of visual effect when these things are working (if possible, and not easier said than done), it was very confusing to tell if it was working. Great mod though otherwise!
ArSole May 28, 2023 @ 1:34pm 
Are there any thoughts to doing this for small grid by chance???
ThePropheticWarrior May 24, 2023 @ 1:17pm 
It's a FORCEFIELD, meaning it allows players and craft through, but keeps the grid airtight at the same time!
dRuPpI Apr 2, 2023 @ 9:56pm 
well could u make a variant with visual effects?
Noodle329 Jan 14, 2023 @ 11:29am 
okay i can walk through when there closed is that a bug?
MrZtingray Oct 15, 2022 @ 2:29pm 
The Forcefield Generator pair and passage are not able to be walked through. I tried putting a passage hall behind and in front to see if that fixed it and it did not fix it. Any way that i can fix this will be appreciated. thanks

To all desiring a visual indicator - I'd recommend implementing your own notification / status indicator. Its super simple!
XuXiaoXian Jul 26, 2022 @ 8:59am 
really some tint to indicate the open and close
Crimson Revenant Jun 22, 2022 @ 12:02pm 
Can't tell when they're closed or not, no way to have the generators glow or something when "closed"?
Rhasmoth Jun 19, 2022 @ 1:23am 
Could be interesting to add coloring functionality, like the recolorable thrusters mod, for those who might want a visual effect. Could probably get the same thing using projectors in the meanwhile for people that want something.
ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || Jun 14, 2022 @ 12:19pm 
@Sylver you are correct no visual effect.
Sylver Jun 14, 2022 @ 11:56am 
So if im correct, this doesnt have a visual effect?
diex40 Jun 13, 2022 @ 1:02pm 
any way to get a small grid ver?
Alewx May 30, 2022 @ 1:57pm 
Hey @Harbinger Ace nice thing, and nice work in Outlands.
I have to agree with @EmuLegs and visual indicator if the field is up or down would be great, there is the metal bar just right in the middle, if that would instead light up it would be awesome.
Thanks for the work.
Yull-Rete May 12, 2022 @ 8:40pm 
Thanks!
Harbinger Ace  [author] May 9, 2022 @ 3:11am 
@Coro The power consumption is extremely low, yes.

@Dracksarien Not without scripting, no.

@Yull-Rete Done.
Yull-Rete Feb 22, 2022 @ 2:14pm 
Is there any chance you could add a four-sided, three-sided and two-opposing-sided forcefield blocks to allow for 1-by-X doors?
Dracksarien Dec 21, 2021 @ 8:30pm 
Can you add an option (in the menu) where entities and objects CANNOT move freely when sealed?
EmuLegs Dec 11, 2021 @ 1:01am 
Really really cool, please reconsider adding visual effects and id love to see the led strip be RED when they're open.
DeadBeard Dec 4, 2021 @ 3:18am 
@Harbinger Ace, I read in an earlier comment of yours that the force field generators consume the same amount of energy as hanger doors (10W idle). I just want to make sure that this is the case, it seems too good to be true. Actually this mod is just amazing! I mean one can open hanger doors now with this generator and not lose pressure. How cool is that? Thank you for this!
Typhon Plume Nov 30, 2021 @ 11:42am 
@cynical Nerdist Most airlock scripts like Blarg's Aggressive Airlocks will affect anything with a door open/close option in it. Even the digital clock mod from what I have seen.
Harbinger Ace  [author] Nov 30, 2021 @ 11:27am 
I have no plans to add scripted visual effects to these doors. I do not write scripts.

@Cynical Nerdist All hangar doors are placed open by default. It is not possible for a mod to change this.
Cynical Nerdist Nov 19, 2021 @ 8:57pm 
Wish there was an actual visual effect for the shield. Also not sure why it wouldn't default to being enabled upon being placed. Kind of odd in my opinion.
Typhon Plume Nov 15, 2021 @ 12:22pm 
Basically enjoying how this mod works in to the progression system over others, with realistic crafting costs for making them. Other then that some kind of visual version so you can call when there closed or open would be nice, even if it's just on the projector.
Skallabjorn Oct 22, 2021 @ 8:06pm 
I agree with DlriumTrgger , an emissive change for open closed would be very cool on this. And i can also confirm what Scientwisted {Index} said, Whips works great on these
Scientwist Oct 19, 2021 @ 9:57am 
I found that if you have Whip's or Blargs airlock scripts, the force fields will close, so they are recognized and work like normal doors.
DlriumTrgger Oct 1, 2021 @ 4:04pm 
id love to see the led strip be RED when they're open. love this mod but the lights can be deceptive. hopefully a visual graphic too?
Scientwist Sep 25, 2021 @ 6:19pm 
This PERFECT for the Star Trek aesthetic I've been going with for sometime now. Damn good job man. Any reason theres no small grid version?
Gromit Sep 24, 2021 @ 4:16am 
@Comrad Elmo: did you read the description of the mod and then forced the blocks to "closed" mode after you built them?
Big Bean Sep 24, 2021 @ 2:00am 
I have issues with it and i'm trying to use them but my room isn't pressurizing, any idea?
Skallabjorn Sep 23, 2021 @ 7:10am 
Ah well, but still love the mod :)
Qarannia Sep 22, 2021 @ 10:30am 
Having looked at the code, I'm thinking it might take a bit of work to do that. If I look at other hangar door mods with visible parts, they all have different models for the different lengths. This one is quite ingenious as there don't appear to be any moving subparts. Sub-part animation on hangar doors is quite specific. You could duplicate the effect using WeaponCore that would give a field effect, but then each hangar door would effectively become a weapon. Failing that, you'd have to script the animation itself.
