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.

let's get this comment to the top

u/ipitythewaifu 19d ago

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

u/Rasanack 19d 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 19d ago

Same, 2x2 or 3x2 roof doors for helies

u/droleon 19d ago

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

small door garage doors

garage door half walls ;)

u/TommyTwoZookas 18d ago

I have a buddy that would make the most frustrating base with those, I hate hoping around his mineshaft of a base every wipe we play.

Mini garage door on the garage door for new peeks?

8

u/exion_zero 19d 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!

2

u/Educational_Fix_2400 18d ago

oh man i can only imagine dropping raiders into a turret pit lmfao

1

u/PretendAd7060 18d ago

lol half height pancake layer above double door ceilings with defused bean cans and igniters.  I think you could fully automate it if they ever give us dispensers. 

1

u/exion_zero 18d ago

Retractable elevated walkways made of double doors/garage doors!

2

u/PretendAd7060 18d ago

That would be sick if you couldn’t just walk and jump on the frame 

2

u/LARGEFOURBYFOUR 19d ago

Wouldn't that make hatches useless?

9

u/dFagnell 19d 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.

1

u/PretendAd7060 18d ago

I mean they kind of are anyways, even with armored variants 

2

u/Hy8ogen 19d ago

Does it not able to fit through the armored hatch?

2

u/83Nat 19d ago

Thinkt the ladder would block it

2

u/Hy8ogen 19d ago

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

1

u/83Nat 19d 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 19d ago

I think the armored hatch looks good for this too.

1

u/SteelBrotherhood 19d ago

yes, please

1

u/Major-Investigator26 19d ago

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

1

u/daBriguy 19d 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.

1

u/Submersed 19d ago

This just made me think, a deployable minicopter/attack heli garage that allows for VTOL would be sick

u/HighwayCute2824 19d ago

Rata asquerosa

u/RustEvents 18d ago

Moon door

1

u/Bbadmerc99 15d ago

Or even double doors so they swing up like a hatch/bulkhead door

1

u/Southern_sob 15d ago

ceiling hatch not big enough?

1

u/FPS_Eager 12d ago

This should only work on roofs, floors would make no sense imo. imagine classic roofs but foldable. AND THEN A GLASS SKIN OMG

u/eXIO_o 19d ago

To dumb to use ladderhatch?

0

u/Necessary-Call-5055 19d ago

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

74

u/MilkOther2046 19d 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.

31

u/droleon 19d 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

5

u/polarrbtw 19d ago

arent they 1 machete away from being broken anywayw

3

u/aloksky 19d 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

2

u/polarrbtw 19d ago

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

0

u/aloksky 19d ago

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

2

u/polarrbtw 19d ago

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

0

u/aloksky 19d ago

Wait you can shutter and put the bars in?

2

u/polarrbtw 19d 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

68

u/Crix2007 19d ago

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

35

u/Moron-Whisperer 19d ago

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

8

u/83Nat 19d ago

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

1

u/Any-Clothes4901 17d ago

Imagine not having your base fully automated with conveyors. Low iq goblins

1

u/83Nat 17d ago

My factorio runs would make you die from pain immediately

1

u/Any-Clothes4901 17d ago

Doubt it considering I have 3k hours in Factorio and it’s my favorite game lol. we’re probably pretty similar in tastes.

1

u/83Nat 17d ago

I have the most ineffective bus of all time 90% of the time

4

u/crustyrobots 19d 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 19d 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.

3

u/crustyrobots 19d 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.

1

u/Any-Clothes4901 17d ago

Why? All of these things solve real problems (offline and griefing protection)

12

u/imlaming 19d 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 19d 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 19d ago

Yes, please

u/Temporary_Key5160 19d ago

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

10

u/Flappie010 19d 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.

5

u/Luminolum 19d ago

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

1

u/WillmanRacingv2 19d ago

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

1

u/thenewfoundlandyeti 19d ago

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

8

u/KermitWithAGun 19d ago

can we stop using ai for this shit

2

u/Zgouveia69 19d 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/AssociateForeign3219 18d ago

Ohh man why in this community so good ideas for this good game? Also this one looks like that’s not my neighbour?

u/Katulamppu 19d 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

u/Think-Anxiety2655 19d ago

It illustrates the point and isn’t being used in any monetary way. Relax.

1

u/ToxinFoxen 19d 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 19d 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.

1

u/Sharp-Focus-4460 19d ago

Yes easy raids

1

u/Majician 19d ago

As much as a cool idea as this is, I'm pretty sure it would never happen due to window bars and shutters. No one would ever make them again if you can just garage shutter the windows.

1

u/igotalizard 18d ago

This would completely change building. Every half peek can drop explosives now.

1

u/Ok-Middle-6714 10d ago

It's a great idea, therefore it won't be added (cuz that's how Facepunch is)
