So, anyone else bothered by the fact that at settlements only the outer doors close, the inner doors remain open always

Force is magic in this field.
Hang on, what else have you people kept from me!?
I don't know...diamagnetic levitation, quantum encryption, transparent ceramic armor, key lime yogurt pretzels?
But we shouldn't need magic force fields if we've got stellarator-powered superconducting magnets and plasma windows. Something betweeb medium-hard and medium-soft sci-fi suffices, in this case.
Umm... aren't those things like super hot, like 15,000 kelvin hot? Good for keeping air in, but also good for frying CMDRs
Gandalf works for FD?

Of course. You're not worthy, only i am worthy!
Thus, i am blessed.
Blessed be the forum idiots, for they shall inherit the CM responses.
That explains a deal. 'An expansion is never late, it arrives precisely when it means to'.
Atmosphere shall NOT pass!
They exist!
And some time ago - years ago - there was a bug in either a beta or was it live version? - where those mailslot shutters would slam shut as your ship was approaching them.
I can't find a video of that one on youtube unfortunately.
Non-vacuum electron beam welding through a plasma window
The plasma window is a novel apparatus that utilizes a stabilized plasma arc as interface between vacuum and atmosphere or pressurized targets without…

The difference between the inner 'force field' door of an Odyssey settlement structure and the plasma window maintaining a vacuum in the beam chamber of electron beam welders that were experimentally demonstrated 17 years ago is mostly one of scale. The glowing aperture for the mail slot was almost certainly inspired by/extrapolated from real plasma window tech.

The plasma density is pretty low (1/40th of an atm or less); it has to be transparent to things that even normal air would block/attenuate. It would probably be harmless for short exposures. You might not want to stand it in with your eyes open for too long though.
Now that I think of it, depending on how thick it was, the biggest problem with going through a plasma window might be one's ear drums.

Is there a difference
So, anyone else bothered by the fact that at settlements only the outer doors close, the inner doors remain open always
Its something that has bugged me at the back of my head for a while now. All these buildings with the double sets of doors, yet the inner doors are always open. I get the feeling the original plan was for you to approach, the outer doors would open, you'd enter, they would close, and the inner...

Aha! You got in before me
Thanks for the video link too!
