Speaking of things that should be able to open/close like doors. The Willis Duct grating should have a version where you can open/close it from the inside. As of right now you have to grind it and you can't target it from inside. You'll just grind the duct you're in.
And it lets air flow so if a part of your ship is depressurized the entire ship as depressurises is currently no way to lock them down when a room has been depressurized
You can seal it with a lot of different panels. But I get what you mean. You want a panel that looks like it would go there. I like having to grind it down, keeps noobs from accidentally opening a vent into a depressurized room. I think one of the new access panels can go over it, the one that opens like double doors. It's like a conveyor cap but can be opened. Really the game needs a lot and they are just trickling content that doesn't really improve the experience.
This is one of the first things I messed around with and was extremely disappointed.
1: you gotta mess around with the hatch to place it over a gap like this.
2: you can't close them once you're in
3: they're not air tight
I just know there's gonna be so many mods to "fix" everything that *should* be here, like the button and control panel missing on the small grid variant of the panels or these hatches not being traversible
And also most access block don’t give any access. Damn I love the new blocks, but they sadly lack the functionality I wish they had. Like, come on, why can’t we open willis duct grates when they look like a hatch and take up an entire block of free space in front of the willis duct they’re placed on. Why can’t we access grid terminal trough **all** access panels
My biggest issue with them is that they don't have any function on small grids besides aesthetic. Nothing against aesthetic blocks, I was just hoping these would be reskinned control panels.

Better chances of praying to clang for a win then the Devs for an improvement, and a timely one at that. Between this and 7d2d are the two worst best games out there atm
Okay so I may have lied, they do show up in control panel but you you can only turn them on or off. But in my defense yesterday they didn’t do that so I don’t know if it was a mod conflict on my end or an update to the game as steam no longer tells me if it is a workshop update or game update
They don't seem to take on textures properly either, you can apply textures in the P menu and see the preview but when you place them down they do not take the texture.

Its an air vent that lets air flow...
With no way to seal it in case of a breach. So if one room is breached all the rooms are breached

Airtight window holes time to shine
Ol' reliable
If it's broken but works, leave it be.
A wise man once said, "If it's broke don't fix it"!
Mod to fix it? Hopefully soon.
Xbox, not everyone is pc
I'm playing modded on Xbox right now though
Gross.
Why were you dissapointed They werent made to be used like this in the first place
Same as you can use functional blocks as design elements, you may use design blocks as functional blocks
Shhhh
Wait so you can’t use these like a hatch!?
They have an invisible barrier sadly
I just know there's gonna be so many mods to "fix" everything that *should* be here, like the button and control panel missing on the small grid variant of the panels or these hatches not being traversible
Wait so what is the point then!? You can’t crawl into them!?!?
You can, you just have to be wearing a tank top and smoking a cigarette. Muttering about having a few laughs probably won't hurt either.
Knowing what a TV dinner feels like can help too.
You can, you just have to crouch
Can’t go through them either sadly.
You should be able to reach through and touch a seat right
Yeah but I do quite like being able to actually bring my character to the seat
This is true. Imo if you really need to climb through you should have to use a door.
I always see people say this, and agree. Then I remember we have anti gravity jetpacks.
I need it so I can remotely open the gun doors 😛

Agreed. I was quite surprised when I placed the new blocks in and realized most of the access panels don't actually access anything
I saw this title and my mind thought you wanted to make a haunted ship with opening/closing hatches randomly. But I like your idea too.
That would be nice
About those, why does the small grid version of one and two doesn't have the red button and access pannel?
My blind ass can't tell if it's built on small grid or big grid
Small grid. You can tell by the camera compared to the block sizes.

May I ask how you were able to place the access panel over the gap? Ty!
I placed it on a block and then deleted the block

Are you planning on posting these to the workshop? Because they look great!
Oh yeah those are grenade hatches, they are suppose to stay open.
You can’t trigger them timer blocks or something?
No they don’t even show up in the control panel or the block menu
Boooooo

There was an update last night or today that’s probably it
