Can multiple Airlocks work together?
Hey @Mech-Gingineer, I have a question about several Airlocks.

This Image [photos.app.goo.gl] shows my current Airlock configuration. What I would like to have, however, would be that the airlock room (light red) works in cooperation with the hangar.

At the moment the red marked door to the Airlock room is named as a 'Inner Door', which means that it is closed and locked as soon as I decompress the hangar.

But I would like to have the possibility to pressurize / depressurize the airlock room separately from the hangar, so that I can get into the room behind it without constantly pressurize the hangar.

I thought about using different Airlock scripts for this, but I'm afraid of killing my current setup with them :D

I hope you understand what I mean and can help me there.

Have a nice day and see you in space :D

Sorry for the late reply, I missed this for some reason. That is a cool idea.

There is a round-about way to get that setup to work. You can place a 5th vent inside the large blue hangar and call it "Outer Vent [AIRLOCK 'small']" to work as a sensor for the small airlock. When the hangar is pressurized the small airlock will act as a full exterior pressurized airlock (Like if a ship was landed on the planet). If the hangar is depressurized the small airlock will act as a normal airlock.

I would also setup a sensor to turn off the control light when you are in range (see my YouTube tutorial) because if the small outer door is not closed when you go to depressurize the large hangar it will suck air from the interior rooms.

I am working on a test setup to make sure it works 100%, and I may make a YouTube for you to check out.

There are some weird Keen bugs though when you have too many disconnected interior spaces, so I would make sure the green rooms are all connected together.

Follow up; good news and bad news.In theory with the script it does work. In practice there is a Keen bug that occurs where either the interior or the airlock thinks there is a leak or sometimes if the doors are all open the vents start pressurizing outer space.

I have played around with doors open and doors closed and can't find a solution/work around.

It is part of the same bug I reported to Keen 5 months ago (happens in non-scripted worlds).
Here is the YouTube video I submitted to Keen: https://youtu.be/RgEM2WxWROU
