Simple Small Blast Doors

This is a small collection of the simplest small blast doors that I could come up with. Each door piece is controlled by a single motor, no piston assemblies required, so they are fast and reliable. There are 4 sizes, from 1x1 to 2x3 large blocks.

These doors are also connected to the station blocks using the small rotor to large stator trick shown to me by plaYer2k (Thanks man!). This means you could operate them from any control panel on your ship or station, and they are more securely attached than if you were using landing gears. You can learn more about how to do this here:

There are two variants of each door on this map. One of those variants is a stripped down, bare bones version with the door pieces copy and pasted nearby so you can see exactly what each piece looks like. These doors are easier to make than you might think, I would recommend playing around with your own designs if this sort of thing interests you.

I would not recommend this, but since the stators and rotors snap together you could technically copy and paste the door components from this world into another and assemble it there for a quick and dirty blast door. I've tried it, and it works, but it's unreliable and prone to breakages. Once you've had a little practice building these doors I'd say it's undoubtedly easier to build from scratch than to try and mess with copy/pasting.

Cheers! Hope this helps!
