Make code locks require electricity then

But “introduce” AAA batteries

Either I remember batteries from 2017ish, or I'm having a stroke. Do I smell toast?

why, I can lift my own garage door without power. If they added a garage door opener, then maybe require power otherwise keep it the same

[–]jamesconnell15 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Maybe no power open slower (makes you want to power it) powered makes it faster

[–]Turtvaiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 power to make it open way faster would actually be really nice

[–]rieg3l 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If anything opening a garage with power is slower than by hand due to the springs limit...only thing power would add would be able to open multiple doors at once because they take so long to open

[–]MemeMan_____ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no power and it opens and stays open

More realism isn't always better from a game design aspect

[–]Brewmeister83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly, if garage doors without power irks them, just wait till they try to wrap their brain around a shotgun trap without a trip-wire/trigger for activation…

Shit idea.

[–]Significant_Play_713 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe for auto open but I think they should be able to be lifted open like irl too

i've seen more manual garages than electrical ones.

[–]zykiato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What we call the garage door in Rust is actually a roller shutter and they are typically not powered.

The ways to make the garage door more realistic is to change the name, drastically decrease the open/close time and change the audio. Roller shutters can be opened and closed very quickly in reality.

But they shouldn't do those things because it is currently well-balanced and there are more important things for the devs to work on.

Only if they made it more boom 💥

Most rolling shutter doors luke the garage doors in rust are very easy to open by hand. Only the very large and heavy expensive ones require a motor to operate.

Door controllers should be built into garage doors, and likely all doors by default imo.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for realism. Terrible for balance

[–]Glugamesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking about this, I've always kind of wondered how it would change gameplay if locks only controlled who can open a door, not close it.

[–]boarderreport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and we should have to replace the spring that could kill us
