THIS VIDEO CONTAIN A MISTAKE – I incorrectly stated in the video that raiders can manually pair door controllers after placing their own TC. This is not accurate. A raider needs to be authed on the door in order to manually pair a door controller. There are additional updates and fixes being released in the June update, so I’ll drop a new video that addresses the above mistake and the new updates.

How to do an automatic door open and the other one will close at the same time using a pressure plate? Btw, i already knew how to wire a single door to automatically open but clueless on how to add another door to automatically closed when pressed by pressure plate.

Fun tip:
If you always wire the DC passthrough to close you can change the behavior of the DC depending on the voltage applied.
Apply 2V+ to the DC and 1V passes to the close trigger making it lock down.
Apply 1V to the DC and 0V passes making the door cycle open/close.
This way you can use an OR and the voltage passed determines the door behavior.

Great video.

@austinklailagames Can you raid someones base and then put door controllers on a door you do not own and make the doors open? Or do you need to have the door code/own the key lock?

I have a pressure plate in my entrance that shuts every door in my base. How can I add a timer on that so that it doesn’t shut the doors right away but after ~2 secs?

NVM. Trying to trap people.

Why dont you use a sensor instead of a timer or button? Seems like the use of unnecessary items to craft.

This makes external tc even more important

1) Can raiders use this against you?
– yes. If raiders place a new TC replacing yours, they can use existing door controllers to open doors without explosives.
2) Can raiders now open doors without a door controller if they have TC?
– no. You need to have codelock authority to pair a doorcontroller to a door. Simply placing a door controller on a locked door that you can not open, will not allow people to use said doorcontroller to open the door.
3) How can you prevent raiders using doorcontrollers against you?
– As always, external TC’s. They have been a staple of base building in Rust and one can reasonably assume that if you use door controllers you most likely have a base big enough to have external TCs. If raiders do not have building privilege they can not connect to existing door controllers, nor can they place their own door controllers.
4) Is it worth it to use door controllers?
– yes and no. It is a QoL addition, making it easier to auto-close doors in your core, or protecting a turret. I would advice against putting door controllers onto important doors (to lootrooms) and only use them on doors protecting turrets.

Just be careful with the HBHF sensor for authorized users if you’re in the area or close to those buttons they can trigger if they’re connected to open Or just use smart switches

i think your content is in dire need of a script writing. im a big fan of how you physically prepare your presentation in-game, but i feel as tho there tends to be a lot of rambling and redundancy throughout your explanations. the stream of consciousness style got me fumbling through timestamps until i find what im looking for. there are so many mechanics to learn in this game, i think your content would help beginners a great deal if it was more concise. that being said, youve got some of the best angles regarding electricity that the community could hope for. keep it up!

Just how you said if you lose power the doors close once you regain power the dooors open is there a way to stop this. Because if I’m not at base my doors will keep cycling open and close as my batteries try and recharge. It’s like a never ending loop of my doors opening

Why did they do this ? It seems pointless, you could already do all of this with a memory cell.

Amazing video

Ok so raiding is now completely broken, if you get tc and place a new one you can literally open all other door without blasting through them. You only need to place door controller and it will open without needing codes

Another great video. Devs did good by making it un-pair if TC is destroyed, but dropping new TC and letting them re-bind by pressing E defeats the point of unpairing….

Great Explanation! GLHF Gamer GG’s

Next update you can connect the pass through to open or close on door controllers

awesome vid once again!

If the raiders replace the TC and pair the controller again, do they need the code lock keys for the doors or would they just be able to hook up the electrics and open your code lock doors just with a button?

Keep up the good work! Love it

Definitely downloadong this episode!
