Doors

Doors are a placeable object type that have a togglable open and close state.

While there are many different doors, most of them are only available from specific sources.

Doors must be mounted between two blocks. By interacting with the door it can be 'opened' and 'closed'.

Monsters and Doors

Originally, monsters could not open doors. This is still true in most cases, but a bug was introduced in version 1.4.x that allows some monsters to open unlocked doors.

Known Bug

In the 1.4.x update, code that allowed NPCs to open doors while pathfinding was moved from the Lua `moveToPosition` function into the C++ `mcontroller.controlPathMove` function. The Starbound developer who made this change seems not to have realized that some monster behaviors also use this C++ function, which means that those monsters can now open doors while pathfinding. Specifically, this bug affects non-ghost flying monsters that are in an "aggro" state towards a player or NPC.

Wiring Functionality

Doors have a blue input slot at the top-left corner, and a red output slot at the bottom-right corner. The output sends an active signal whenever the door is in its open position; otherwise, it is inactive.

If a wire is attached to the input slot, the door can no longer be manually opened by players. Instead, it will only open when the door receives an active signal from an input wiring source. Removing all wires attached to the input slot will allow the door to be interacted with manually once again.

NPCs are not capable of pathfinding through closed doors that have anything attached to an input slot. This is the case even when the input wiring source is not a lock, but something like a proximity sensor. NPCs will pathfind through such doors when they happen to be open, but once the door closes, the NPC will be trapped on one side of the door, unless and until the door happens to open again.
