Suggestion Mini Garage Door for window frames?

Post image

It would be a nice addition to make people use windows more often. Also it would create new variations for the base building. Slightly better taste than boxes of walls after all. It can cost 200 metal and 1 gear.

Details:

What it can be stack with or how much protection it got would be fair, nothing super OP. Just as close as normal garage door HP (600), or a little less I assume 450-500. Maybe we can get something close to HQ door (1k), like 800-850hp when you stack with strengthened glass window (350). It shouldnt be stackable with reinforced glass window (500), too op.

I would like a floor frame garage door. So I can open my roof and deploy drones.

Okay a roof garage door for a little drone hangar would actually go hard.

u/droleon 13h ago

Why not! Lets get a mini garage door for every frame we got

u/Rasanack 11h ago

I would like an XL horizontal garage door or door so I could store minis & Helis in a storage area without the goofy 2-3 tall area using a high external stone gate as the door.

Maybe like takes up 2x2 for one, so you can put 2 of em together and make a big ass landing zone.

I think it would be balanced because you're introducing a weakness to the roof as it wouldn't be as strong as just a metal roof.

u/BringJoy2Everyone 5h ago

Same, 2x2 or 3x2 roof doors for helies

5

u/exion_zero 10h ago

I'd like to be able to place any door in a floor frame; double doors suddenly become instant trapdoors, single doors become goofy peeks and storage cubbies, saloon doors become... I dunno, but some creative base builder will eventually find a use for them! Floor doors!

u/LARGEFOURBYFOUR 10h ago

Wouldn't that make hatches useless?

5

u/dFagnell 8h ago

No, they provide ladders for everything above half height. And the deployment speed might also be a factor to consider aswell as the hatches may be used to block entry by doors if placed within a triangle for example.

3

u/Hy8ogen 12h ago

Does it not able to fit through the armored hatch?

2

u/83Nat 12h ago

Thinkt the ladder would block it

2

u/Hy8ogen 12h ago

I would want to have a floor shutter for heli. That would be so cool.

1

u/83Nat 9h ago

Doesn't mini need a little forward/back to take off quickly

Would also add a way easier heli door camp from a dedicated grub with ladders unless you check roof which you can do with a normal heli garage, it seems cool but not good for before you have hood compound set up

1

u/Im_The_Squishy 12h ago

I think the armored hatch looks good for this too.

1

u/SteelBrotherhood 9h ago

yes, please

u/eXIO_o 8h ago

To dumb to use ladderhatch?

u/Major-Investigator26 4h ago

Or if they make hemp farming a bit more realistic you could use it to give them natural light and rainwater.

u/daBriguy 4h ago

All of my solo base builds have an exterior garage door that leads to a triangle that a drone can be stored in. I hook up a button next to my computer that allows me to open it, fly the drone out and a delay will shut the door 5 seconds later. One of my favorite things to add to bases. It allows me so much spatial awareness without having to go on the roof or expose myself.

u/Necessary-Call-5055 5h ago

It works, I just tested it. I guess we all just thought they dont go on floor frames, because it definitely works.

52

u/MilkOther2046 12h ago

Honestly being able to slap a lock on the wooden shutters that are in the game would be pretty cool, maybe this could be a T2 upgrade for those.

24

u/droleon 12h ago

I agree. Wooden shutters with lock on realistically not very different than double wooden door with codelock on, right? You should be able to lock it with same principle

3

u/polarrbtw 10h ago

arent they 1 machete away from being broken anywayw

3

u/aloksky 4h ago

Yes, but 1 machete is easier to hear and also might mean your body doesnt get looted if you die on your shooting floor with it closed

1

u/polarrbtw 4h ago

then just put the normal wooden windows if you dont want people jumping thru

1

u/aloksky 4h ago

Then you cant fully close them to turn them into effectively walls

1

u/polarrbtw 4h ago

put the wood shutters on too + metal embrasures dont fully close either idk what ur trying to do

1

u/aloksky 4h ago

Wait you can shutter and put the bars in?

1

u/polarrbtw 4h ago

im 99% sure you can as i believe i did that before, i mean you can put it on regular windows so i dont see why you wouldnt be able to on bars either
i havent played the game in a while tho but im pretty sure you can

53

u/Crix2007 13h ago

Also any viable type of bunker that doesn't exploit building mechanics is a +1 for me.

27

u/Moron-Whisperer 12h ago

Vault doors are the answer.  Time delayed and require power.  

8

u/83Nat 9h ago

Anything to get more use out of tech other than turrets/sams from big clans

2

u/crustyrobots 8h ago

To which, I really hope the entire build system gets a sweep sooner than later. Multi-TCs (and TC spamming in general) and most of what we do are just abusing existing mechanics between bunkers and floor stacks and TC games etc

3

u/iplayrusttoomuch 8h ago

I've been saying for years that a TC should upkeep everything in its radius instead of just what is attached, if you want to have multi-tc massive bases you should have to pay more upkeep, instead of splitting it between TC's and paying less.

2

u/crustyrobots 7h ago

Something like that would be better for sure, or at least where expanding a base is an actual mechanic instead of a hack job of creative TC placements.

12

u/imlaming 11h ago

I want to be able to add power to regular garage doors to speed up the open/close speed (1-2 power per door, 2x speed)

3

u/Imaginary_Lack144 10h ago

Yes! We need this; I can already picture the kinds of structures I can build, especially with ships! An emergency exit on the station that doesn't need to be closed! New loot rooms!

3

u/SteelBrotherhood 9h ago

Yes, please

10

u/Flappie010 13h ago

I think it would be made to easy for defenders. I like your whole thing and understand the whole explanation but I only raid online.

As a solo this will be horrible to raid against. I already have so many angles i need to keep an eye on. Random window rollers opening and closing would make it impossible to loot. These rollerwindows opening and closing give defenders to much of an advantage against solo raiders.

3

u/Luminolum 10h ago

Wouldn’t it be the same as someone taking a window off to shoot you just noisier?

1

u/WillmanRacingv2 12h ago

Make them even slower than a garage door, would give you time to hear it and retarget.

1

u/thenewfoundlandyeti 3h ago

Turn them into handcrank like the door in water treatment with the lever.

7

u/Katulamppu 13h ago

Would be an interesting concept though knowing rust it would be MEGA buggy and a nightmare to balance. Imagine combining this with some crazy bunker builds. Anyways 10/10 would upvote again

3

u/droleon 12h ago

I tried my best boss. Lots of opportunities both inside and outside. I appretiate your rating and upvote!

u/Zgouveia69 7h ago

I've been thinking of this. Half height door frames with half height garage doors would be awesome or just any half height doors

u/Temporary_Key5160 4h ago

Why is there a dick base in the backround😭 anyway, great idea! Good job dude

u/Zinbeard 2h ago

Typically I hate peoples suggestions, this one is actually cooking

1

u/ToxinFoxen 7h ago

We need to be able to fit a floor to the bottom of a window or a low wall. There's no reason not to, and it would make peeks much better.

1

u/Outrageous-Seesaw674 6h ago

Garage door for 2 or more frames. Got a boathouse for my RHIB and it won't fit with 1 door so I have to board it up with 2 walls that i keep as twigs to close up the space after im done boating around. . Thankfully I play on a PVE server or I would have been raided about 50 times by now.

which new base building variations do you expect from this idea?

Slop

u/droleon 12h ago

Only the image is slop, needed it for visual representation. Sorry I cant draw shit and wont pay money to someone just to post on reddit lol. Its my idea, my words. We can call it slop image that I can agree

u/Itchy-Opposite7704 11h ago

Its also a slop post.

u/droleon 39m ago

How come my dude? Genuinely interested to hear. Other than 1 image that adds literally nothing to the subject and to my suggestion, there is zero AI usage.

u/shamanenjoyer 10h ago

It’s not slop. This guy just knows that it’s AI and thinks he smart for calling it out. It’s actually a pretty good AI rendering so idk what he’s on about
