Search and Rescue Life pod simulator

Description
This device simulates an engineer in a life pod that is in need of rescue or transport

I made this for a scenario (Rescue and Supply run mission) I am building where multiples of them need to be rescued and then transported to a station

it uses a timer block a vent and a door to pressurize and depressurize an enclosed space
so it loses a few litres of O2 every few seconds

The goal
Is to have a time limit to reach the pod and maintain it before the engineer dies.
Also, it can be used in a scenario where it needs to be transported from one place to another safely

2 event blocks are set to make an alert if the power or oxygen runs low but before it reaches 0%

To start it just press the red button it turns on the timer block

It has an oxygen tank and 3 small batteries
the batteries last for about 11-12 hours when it is started
I am unsure about the O2 tank I did not finish testing, but it loses about 1-2 litres of O2 every 2 seconds so it is between 13-30 hours before it runs out.

If you want to give it more time you can add more batteries and increase the time on the timer block between each time the merge block toggle on and off

I use Automatic LCD 2 script to show how much O2 and power is left on the monitor but it is not needed to use the simulator

Update
I replaced the 2 hinges and 2 merge blocks that were opening an enclosed space with a simple door.
It is more stable now, and no longer augments the MES threat score every cycle. Also, my game is less jerky when I have 10 of them opening and closing at random intervale
