XL (50x18) Storable (Airtight) Hangar Bay Doors!

Description
(note: read the ~~Miscellaneous~~ section before usage!)

Huge hangar bay doors (and hangar), to provide storage of larger sized ships, up to small capital ships. The entire hangar is airtight! 100% vanilla, no mods needed. The doors are automated by means of a timer block sequence, more about that below under ~~Miscellaneous~~

Successor to the original Storable Hangar Bay Doors! ( https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=909634127 ), which sadly turned out to be broken due to changes made by Keen.

I worked around it this time by adding an anchor block (which counts as a 'base'), which is in turn connected by means of a rotor to the hangar. The hangar itself remains a ship, but does not move beyond 0,01 m/s, in case you are interested ;). The entire build is completely stable, with over 100 openings and closings in sequence after one another did not result in any damage whatsoever. To anyone with the same problem: you can solve it that way.

I am quite certain this is the largest foldable and storable door ever made in this game, but correct me if I am wrong!

Smaller (30x11) version here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2050888701

~~ Miscellaneous

The opening and closing sequences are automated. The timer blocks controlling it are labelled Opening sequence 1 through 6 and Closing sequence 1 through 5.

Note: the Opening Sequence in this blueprint is still turned OFF. This is caused by the last closing sequence block, 'Closing sequence - 5', which instead of enabling the Opening Sequence blocks, disables them. You need to manually change the 'Opening sequence' in the 'Closing sequence - 5' block to 'on', instead of 'off'. It is the fourth entity in the row of Closing sequence - 5. Afterwards, turn all the Opening Sequence timer blocks involved on.

After that, it will work forever. You can just sit in the chair as in the video and try it out.

Want me to make a space station with such hangars (albeit a bit smaller) ? Let me know in the comments.

For this to work, you need:

- Switch the 6 "Opening sequence" blocks to on
- On Lower arm rotor: set minimum limit to -90
- On Upper arm rotor: set minimum limit to 90
- On "Closing sequence - 5" modify the action parameter to put "Opening sequence - All timer blocks" on

It remains only to try with the seat of control

@Kenneth: Not playing SE anymore on this side, but I think one of the commenters a little bit below already figured out how to fix it. If Keen broke it in the meanwhile though there is no way I can help any further, sadly.

On top of the degrees One of the merge blocks are turned off turn that one on should work good if still have problems I removed the blocks and the merge blocks and that helped too

For anyone that has problems with this blueprint the simple fix to this is to change in the "Lower arm rotor" and "Upper arm rotor" settings they are currently set to have the Lower limit and Upper limit to -89 and 89. Change them to -90 and 90 and this should fix it

Note to all: I stopped playing the game, sadly, so it is not to be expected that I can find a short term fix for the problem. I wish I had better news to share, but after a good 750+ hours of SE I am done with the game I think.

I have no idea what Keen broke this time around that made the doors no longer work, but it appears to be a very fundamental change again that may not unlikely demand a fully different design. It appears to be not easy to fix.

(Merge blocks doesn't merge)

It just breaks apart whenever i try to open it.
