Air and external airlocks
Created by: uazuaz
Description of issue
i saw this on boxstation, i don't know about other maps. some of the external airlock tiles around the station block gases even if the airlock is hacked open or destroyed; if you check the air on these tiles with an air analyzer or as a ghost, you see that they are at 101.3 kpa no matter what. in this comment https://github.com/d3athrow/vgstation13/issues/11585#issuecomment-243796522 @Exxion said that old coders did it on purpose; i think that it could be changed so gases could pass through open external airlocks as they should.
i saw people hacking open these airlocks trying to vent the station during a plasma flood multiple times, but it's totally useless of course.
Difference between expected and actual behavior
opening an airlock should let all the gases pass through; spess magic prevents this.
Steps to reproduce
open those specific airlocks, enjoy your air anyway.
Specific information for locating
i checked on the test server and the affected airlocks are
- both airlocks leading to the singularity generator
- airlock between the AME room and the engineering escape pod
- all solars
- supply shuttle dock's _internal_ airlocks
- dock N of arrivals, between ghetto bar and escape pods
Length of time in which bug has been known to occur
maybe forever
