[b]08/14[/b] Ludeon has released another unstable patch and now Vac Barriers function again on the planet surface. Hurray! This mod will continue as VacDoors.

VacDoors
With a low cost of 3 gravlite panels you can vacproof any of your powered doors of any size. This includes Autodoors, Security doors, most if not all modded doors (tested with Re-Build).
Door you want to vacproof needs to have a Power Consumption and be Airtight (made from an airtight material such as steel).
Just right click on the door with any (not drafted) pawn and order to [b]'refuel'[/b] it. Dont worry, gravlite panels are placed 'inside' of the door as a fuel, but never consumed. Its just a left-over text (which I hopefully replace later).
You can get all your panels back if you deconstruct the door. Pawns will never attemp to refuel Vacproof your door without your direct order.
If you don't want / don't like this feature you can disable it in settings (requires restart).
How it works
Door needs to be powered for this feature to work. If it's not powered (from solar flare. lack of energy, etc) it will act exactly as normal door would. Also, make sure it is airtight, I follow the vanilla logic here: doors from wood and stone will leak everything, even when closed. You still can apply vacproofing to the wooden autodoor, but it will not do anything.
If you don't want to bother with panels, you can enable the "Free Integrated Vacbarrier" option, which is disabled by default.
When you enable it and [b]you've researched "Orbital Tech" technology[/b] that gives you vacbarriers, all your powered doors (Autodoors and Security Doors from vanilla/Anomaly) will double as Vacbarriers - without any additional cost.
