Upgraded doors not fireproof[solved]

Post by Vind »

Got some rooms on fire after solar flare sector and jumped to another thinking i can always extinguish it after battle - got fire spreading through upgraded doors - so doors not really fireproof - only slow fire expansion?

I think blast doors provide something in the realm of 3x slower rate of fire expansion, I'd have to check the code to make sure, but they do not completely stop fires. Sorry :(

Well, I'm in for this, maybe 3x slow for lvl2 and total stop for lvl3?

It never claimed that they were fireproof. It simply states that it impedes fire spread and intruder spread. Impede = slow down, not stop.

It gives you more time to deal with the fire, safe in the knowledge that it's unlikely to spread while you send your crew in or release the air out of the airlock.

Upgraded doors also have more hitpoints as a system so remote control doesn't get disabled as much, and the boarders have to hack their way through which is hard to do when they're suffocating. Fun though.
