Don't have the mod, but would imagine that's how full the door's "storage" is, as it has to suck the air out of the locked area. There's probably a mechanism for disposing of it somewhere.

Would it be possible to make the door open on one side when unpowered, and have that side change with the "rotate" key while building? that could make construction of the door significantly easier, as you could plan the wires and door together and be confident that you won't need to deconstruct the door in order to build the wire.

Sounds like a good idea, but I don't think the developer of the mod reads follow-up here -- might want to reach out to them via the Github page they set up.

The bar in the gif is the door's stored power. it holds 10 kj of power, and I believe it uses 2kj each time a dupe walks through (I think it's 1kj per door that opens, because you can have dupes enter one side, then tell them to move back and the same side will open to let them through)

This is actually a well animated and good mod, but it would be even better if it also served as an atmo suit dock/checkpoint and or cleanroom/degerm function.

Please add option to allow (very slow) manual operation. Dups are capable of doing 400W of work. It's common to forget to build wire first. Also losing power requires removing the door to prevent dupes from being trapped for too long.

Totaly agree (especially with : It's common to forget to build wire first. ;) ) but this is really the only downside of this mod, it is for me an essential

Thank you very much for this work shared with the community

So far the only downside is that the door conducts heat and you have to make two vacuum doors and create a real vacuum between them.

if you have to put a vacum each side you'd be better off not using the mod, i remained a bit disappoitend when i discovered that it conducts thermals, the only up side is if you want to make a lock that doesn't wet your dupes feet
