RUST Electrical | How To Use THE NEW DOOR CONTROLLER | With Simple Base Lockdown Examples | 2024

[@AustinKlailaGames]

THIS VIDEO CONTAIN A MISTAKE - I incorrectly stated in the video that raiders can manually pair door controllers after placing their own TC. This is not accurate. A raider needs to be authed on the door in order to manually pair a door controller. There are additional updates and fixes being released in the June update, so I'll drop a new video that addresses the above mistake and the new updates.

This makes external tc even more important

Definitely downloadong this episode!

Keep up the good work! Love it

[@jrale4597]

awesome vid once again!

[@DieKnoop]

If the raiders replace the TC and pair the controller again, do they need the code lock keys for the doors or would they just be able to hook up the electrics and open your code lock doors just with a button?

[@oversizerunescape]

They'd only need to press the button

[@EngNerdGMN]

Fun tip: If you always wire the DC passthrough to close you can change the behavior of the DC depending on the voltage applied. Apply 2V+ to the DC and 1V passes to the close trigger making it lock down. Apply 1V to the DC and 0V passes making the door cycle open/close. This way you can use an OR and the voltage passed determines the door behavior.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

I like this!

[@EngNerdGMN]

@@AustinKlailaGames I like to have base lockdown buttons and HBHF, but also have vehicle doors on timers. This allows me to do both with a single wire running to the DC.

[@ZA-tl3qz]

Next update you can connect the pass through to open or close on door controllers

[@s0fakingawes0me14]

Should have been able to just pulse the "close" with 1 power only and that should had worked

[@TheBrookian]

Great video.

Great Explanation! GLHF Gamer GG's

[@runecreationz]

Amazing video

[@dylanheredia8520]

Just how you said if you lose power the doors close once you regain power the dooors open is there a way to stop this. Because if I’m not at base my doors will keep cycling open and close as my batteries try and recharge. It’s like a never ending loop of my doors opening

[@Earendur08]

Use a memory cell. Have your Heartbeat sensors trigger the lockdown by flipping the memory cell causing them to lose power. Send the power to a button tied to another heartbeat sensor that is set to authorized users to reset the memory cell to end the lockdown.

[@wizzle2222]

@austinklailagames Can you raid someones base and then put door controllers on a door you do not own and make the doors open? Or do you need to have the door code/own the key lock?

[@wizzle2222]

Nvm. Your pinned comment addresses this. The answer is no, the raiders must have the door code. This means inversely, if they grief you base with their own door and lock, you can't ungrief it by putting a door controller on also. I was hoping to be able to do that bc I get grief as a solo by clans all the time bc they love raiding the little guy

[@gbxd]

How to do an automatic door open and the other one will close at the same time using a pressure plate? Btw, i already knew how to wire a single door to automatically open but clueless on how to add another door to automatically closed when pressed by pressure plate.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

Best way is the trap base circuit that uses the Memory Cell. Memory Cell: -> Connect the "Inverted Output" to the door you want to start as open -> Connect the "Output" to the door you want to start as closed -> The "Reset" Input toggles back to the "Inverted Output" -> The "Set" Input toggles back to the "Output" I discuss this and the trap base circuit here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXWpe4SIns6hjK8si=4vc0FSiXB-sQII5G Cheers!

[@Invertedworldx]

Just be careful with the HBHF sensor for authorized users if you're in the area or close to those buttons they can trigger if they're connected to open Or just use smart switches

[@Necrotic99]

Another great video. Devs did good by making it un-pair if TC is destroyed, but dropping new TC and letting them re-bind by pressing E defeats the point of unpairing....

[@DaJakkoba]

Right, like you should ‘know the door code’ to pair with a door.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

See my pinned comment! Raiders DO need the door code to repair a door controller. You're safe.

i think your content is in dire need of a script writing. im a big fan of how you physically prepare your presentation in-game, but i feel as tho there tends to be a lot of rambling and redundancy throughout your explanations. the stream of consciousness style got me fumbling through timestamps until i find what im looking for. there are so many mechanics to learn in this game, i think your content would help beginners a great deal if it was more concise. that being said, youve got some of the best angles regarding electricity that the community could hope for. keep it up!

[@AustinKlailaGames]

Thank you for the feedback! I have actually tried scripting out my videos as an audio overlay, but it just never seems to work out. Repeated info, tangents/rambles, etc., have been the biggest challenges as I try to improve my teaching methods. It probably won't surprise you to learn I have adhd... 😂 A new idea I have is to break down my videos into topics / sub topics prior to recording and stick to those topics for viewer experience. Sort of a "here's the topic list, stick to it and only it," kind of thing. And if I want to add some commentary of streaming thought, I'll put it at the end of the video as an extra/bonus for those who like that kind of thing. I'll try it with the next video and tag it here. And again, thank you!

[@Reanimator7336]

Why dont you use a sensor instead of a timer or button? Seems like the use of unnecessary items to craft.

[@kaiohshin2322]

1) Can raiders use this against you? - yes. If raiders place a new TC replacing yours, they can use existing door controllers to open doors without explosives. 2) Can raiders now open doors without a door controller if they have TC? - no. You need to have codelock authority to pair a doorcontroller to a door. Simply placing a door controller on a locked door that you can not open, will not allow people to use said doorcontroller to open the door. 3) How can you prevent raiders using doorcontrollers against you? - As always, external TC's. They have been a staple of base building in Rust and one can reasonably assume that if you use door controllers you most likely have a base big enough to have external TCs. If raiders do not have building privilege they can not connect to existing door controllers, nor can they place their own door controllers. 4) Is it worth it to use door controllers? - yes and no. It is a QoL addition, making it easier to auto-close doors in your core, or protecting a turret. I would advice against putting door controllers onto important doors (to lootrooms) and only use them on doors protecting turrets.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

You are correct. I mistakenly stated that they could just pair the door controllers with a new TC (see pinned comment).

[@pipeliner3264]

Ok so raiding is now completely broken, if you get tc and place a new one you can literally open all other door without blasting through them. You only need to place door controller and it will open without needing codes

[@AustinKlailaGames]

You can't place two door controllers on the same door, but I didn't consider trying to place door controllers on locked doors after you place a new TC during a raid. I'll try it out and if it's warranted, make another video. That said, this highlights the importance of the primary anti grief TC.

[@dylanheredia8520]

@@AustinKlailaGames what do you mean importance of a anti grief TC what is that

[@pipeliner3264]

Well if theres no antigrief tc whats to stop from removing prior placed door controller and replacing it

[@idonahoe]

@@dylanheredia8520 "disconnectable external tcs" (look this up) which have building blocks close enough to the main base. if raiders blow your main, the external(s) already overlap build privileges which prevent raiders from building or interacting with deployables.

[@GeneralNoLife]

Just tested this, if you don't have codelock auth, you won't be able to pair door controller, and if you don't have tc, you can't interact with it.

[@Reanimator7336]

NVM. Trying to trap people.

[@danielregan6871]

Why did they do this ? It seems pointless, you could already do all of this with a memory cell.

[@Milkyfoal]

They keep adding QOL updates making everything simpler and easier to use 😂 I don’t see how that could be pointless or a bad thing

[@thegreatdelusion]

I have a pressure plate in my entrance that shuts every door in my base. How can I add a timer on that so that it doesn't shut the doors right away but after ~2 secs?

[@AustinKlailaGames]

A delay circuit would work. One of my earliest videos covers this. Or jump on my discord and I can show you.
