Allow colonists to autonomously lock/unlock doors to private areas.

[RemingtonRyder]

Essentially, private areas would be anywhere which has a medical bed or an assigned bed.

The idea here is that colonists lock their door when they go to bed, preventing visitors and cleaners from barging in and disturbing their sleep.

Doctors would similarly lock the medical ward when they've finished treating all patients in a room.

Good idea, but i don't think that this is worth losing RAM.

I have previously suggested allowing individual ownership of everything, including doors.  Thus, you could assign ownership of a door, and only that colonist would be able to use the items in the room behind it.

As mentioned above, i suggested something perhaps not as RAM/CPU intensive. With different level of restrictions on doors.

Of the various objections someone might have to this "it would take too much RAM" is pretty mystifying.

I don't agree with doctors locking everyone out of the hospital but having a "do not disturb" setting for bedrooms seems pretty reasonable and I doubt it would be that hard to implement.

Trust me, 40 colonists that will think about closing doors every time when they go to bed will affect on RAM . This would isn't too much, but i don't think that this is worth it even losing 1mb RAM. If you don't believe me, disable some work settings/bills - you will see how much RAM every "think" takes. Anyway i have enough RAM so i'm safe

If you created these types of doors it would also be good to setup a leader ship in the colony that way leaders can be allowed to open doors that other could not similar to a permission system, but less of a AI driven event. This could still take up more room, because if you also added the can haul if no one inside or something like that so if no one is asleep anyone can go inside to grab/fix/clean something.

The idea is a good one, but how it can be implemented would be hard to satisfy with out causing issues to jobs the colonists normal have to do.
