Access zones and doors locks

[rsdworker]

i had idea for restricting access to areas/rooms - would be defined as zones for outside and inside - but basic settings can also be done via door settings if player wants lock off the one room or more without zone and locks

Zones:
1: Open - no access limits applied - example shared hallways and rooms - visitors and traders and animals can wander inside or outside - colour: white

2: residents - only allows residents (who permantly live in) colour: green

3: Prisoners - only prisoners can wander freely within this zone without confining to their cell - warden and guards can enter this zone as well and also Maintenance jobs can be done by prisoners - colour - Orange

4: High risk zone - weapons room which restricts to only guards and Maintenance jobs
color - red

5: Job zones - restricts people who have proper job example Cook to work in kitchen  so anyone without proper job assignment can't enter but can be bypassed by adding allow Maintenance jobs and cleaning or hauling in settings
color - Blue

6: No Animals zone - Banishs any animals such boomrats and etc - this would be separate zone from access list - color - striped red

7: construction zone - this probits anyone who not building to try to work within zone - only allows builders in  - striped orange

8: Private rooms - for residents who live in rooms - they can lock doors without letting people in and out - striped Blue

Doors:

Open - doors are locked open (access allowed in and out)

Closed - doors are closed - people can open them when passing (default)

Locked - locked so people will unlock door when passing through and locks again - see locks

sealed - people can't pass through this door (raiders will try unseal this door if fail they just give up)

Locks:

No lock - no lock means door is freely open accessible

Locked with bolts = basic door can be bolted locked - only visble on inside side - (raiders will bash from outside side unless if door bolts is facing to raiders means they can just unbolt from wrong side) for one way doors - the bolt locks again after person leaves from entry side to no entry side

Locked with key - only people who have key to access the room (raiders might need find key to unlock if they fail they can just bash through) - can be assigned to person - example person has come to unlock door to let prisoner through to storeroom

Locked with electric keypad - requires power and the person will unlock that door (radiers will hack this door) - if no power - the door will be unlocked unless has extra lock such like bolt or key

Locked with remote control - requires power and is hard to break through door so person who is manning at comms desk or secuirty desk will unlock the door if he sees person entering
(raiders will fail at this door unless they find desk nearby to unlock or they can hack at nearby panel) if no person manning at desk - its will stay locked unless player specifics the desk operation - example unlocked in night and locked in day
if no power - the door will be stay locked or unlocked

One way door - people can leave or enter in one direction - if its locked - you can specific which direction of lock example one side is open - while other side is locked with key - example emergency exit door or one way gate and speific who allowed go in wrong direction - example guards can enter from no entry side (raiders can ignore this and bash through the door)

Door strength

basic wooden door - easily bashed through can have basic lock or bolt (easily burned down)

Basic metal door - can be broken in with crowbar with basic lock or bolt (sightly hard to burn down)

Basic electric doors - has power to open and close - no lock can be fitted in and more slightly hard to bash through and can be forced open if no power resulting door being Locked open

Tough electric doors - has power and has keypad or remote locking fitted in

Tough wooden door - upgrade from basic door to tough - more harder to bash through can have tough lock and can be equipped with keypad and can be upgraded for remote locking

Tough metal door - same as wooden but more choices of locks - more hard to burn down

very very tough metal/wooden door - a very secure door - its very hard to bash through or be burned down can have all locks - this be useful for base entrance door

suggestions or ideas is welcomed

Too many zones.  Too many doors.

open would just be nothing, no zones.

residents only might be a good one but then, travelers have never traveled through my base before.  Maybe just a door setting to prevent travelers.  Like the buttons on graves, just click animal icon or visitor icon and only colonists icon would be there with a green check and that would keep travelers out of your base, unless a colonist lets them in.  If you uncheck the colonists button, then you can lock your colonists inside or outside, such as during a raid where you don't want them leaving the base.  This would be your locked door.

A prisoner zone would be good, this would let your prisoners feel happy faster for letting them have a small fenced in area to run around in. So you could build a stone wall outdoors and have prisoner hall ways that let them go outside for a while.  Socialize with each other and enjoy being semi-free.  Increasing the chance of getting them to join your colony.

I also like tough doors.  Maybe just a class 2 door over our current which is stronger, thicker, and takes more power to use automatically, but is to heavy to open (or close) when there is no power.  Adding to the fact that you'd need batteries and such. During solar flares though, you're pretty well screwed.  I don't like solar flares because they effect even equipment deep underground.  Should be changed.  Anyhow, a thicker stronger door with higher power requirement would be good.  It'd be harder to break through for raiders.
