The mining hatch

The mining hatch is i think the only horizontal door, what do you think of it? i use it all the time, but i think i looks a bit off and i definitely wouldn't use it if i had other options, and its weird that its the only horizontal door, and it only exists due to one mission. I'm glad i got one so i could Scan it in the 3D printer.

 

Haven't managed to get to that point in the new patch yet, but it depends on what you consider a "door".

The Glitch Hidden Trapdoor is another option, but doesn't fit with most decor.

 

i forgot about that, but yea, with both, doesn't fit well. the mining hatch is the thing from the first place with a boss (ERMAHGERD SPOILARZ DAR BE BOSSES IN THIS GAME ERMEHGERD U SPOILED THE GAME 4 ME)

 

theres a problem. i live in a wooden house as a novakid. i got the blueprint from the mission and i hollowed out the right area but it doesnt let me place it! help?

 

I honestly think it is silly that most doors (excepting hinged doors that would not make much sense) don't auto rotate to become horizontal doors. It would be very nice if ship doors for example were that way. Most tech looking doors should auto rotate into a horizontal orientation imo.

 

There is also the "penguinbasedoor":

The door is 5 blocks wide and requires 2 blocks to each side to be placed. If you have that then it must be a bug.

 

I'd certainly love some more horizontal doors. A simple wood door'd work with many decors, be good for cellars, or secret passages.

I do rather want a dirt door like the Glithc trapdoor, two tiles thick, that blends in with the terrain, but given the color variety of dirt, that might be tricky.

 

I don't think it's only two tiles thick, but there is a dirt-textured trapdoor in one of the later missions. Not sure if it's normally obtainable, though.

 

There's also a rusty hatch, which is used at the penguin base. Also, the glitch trapdoor. And the dirt trapdoor.

I think we need more horizontal doors...

 

I am firmly of the opinion that any special doors, furniture, etc in the Big Missions should be eventually obtainable, either via blueprints in-mission or mineable microdungeon.

 

The game really needs the ability to rotate all placable construction items

 

Lucky. I'm still trying to find the Blueprints. Can you guys tell me where I can find them?

 

Wow. Thread necro turned out to be incredibly relevant, as...

Turn out it is! I just found it tonight in an underground microdungeon. It's in one of the larger Floran-style structures, with the green tile-type bricks. Well, there's two types of microdungeon like that, and one of them has that dirt trapdoor.

Both of them have an abundance of that platform with the vines hanging off them and the packed dirt with moss tiles too. The non-trapdoor-having one also has a new type of Bamboo Door I hadn't seen prior, a tan "cell door" style one. Very cool.

 

There's also a Hylotl horizontal door.

 

So, this thread was kind of necro'd. When it was originally posted there was only the mining hatch, rusty hatch, and glitch trapdoor. There are many more now though, with even more on the way.

Here are all of the current horizontal doors:

1. Airlock Door (can be placed both ways)
2. Ancient Hatch
3. Ancient Hidden Platform
4. Ancient Light Platform
5. Dirt Trapdoor
6. Glitch Hidden Trapdoor
7. Horizontal Portcullis
8. Mining Hatch
9. Rusty Hatch
10. Temple Hidden Trapdoor

You can spawn any of these in with the object names at the bottom of each wiki page.
