Workshop blueprint / LOG-05

Basic Logic Door - Open from Either Side

A small bearing door controlled from both sides, used to learn input states, one mechanical output, and an obvious reset.

01 / Size the job

Workshop baseline

Use these dimensions and targets for the first working version. They are a practical starting layout, not a fixed in-game preset; adjust them only after the baseline passes its tests.

Plan the craftable parts →

01Opening: 3 × 5 blocks
02Door motion: 1 Bearing / 90° swing
03Inputs: 2 Buttons
04Logic: 1 OR Logic Gate
05Motion control: 1 Controller
06Reset: Return to closed

02 / Prepare the bench

The quantities below describe one baseline build. Optional parts are marked so you can prove the working system before spending on lighting, storage, or automation.

03 / Count before crafting

Direct crafting cost

This total multiplies each listed part by its preferred Craftbot or Mechanic Station recipe. Processed materials and block recipes are shown as direct inputs instead of being expanded into every earlier production step.

04 / Build in testable systems

Construction sequence

Do not place the next system until the checkpoint under the current stage is true. That keeps steering, motion, power, and storage failures separate.

Stage goal

Build the hinge first

Prove the door leaf can move without logic.

Mount one Bearing on the protected side of the opening.
Build a light 3 × 5 leaf.
Use a temporary Switch to test the full swing.

Stage goal

Set open and closed angles

Give the Controller two predictable positions.

Connect the Controller to the Bearing.
Set a closed position against a physical stop.
Set an open position near 90° without over-rotation.

Stage goal

Combine two inputs

Let either Button request the same door action.

Place one Button on each side outside the sweep.
Set the Logic Gate to OR.
Connect both Buttons to the gate, then the gate to the Controller.

Stage goal

Test all four input states

Confirm the behavior is defined rather than accidental.

Test neither input.
Test the outside Button only.
Test the inside Button only.
Test both Buttons together.

05 / Use the right tool at the right moment

Workshop tools

Each tool below has a specific job in this build. Finish that job, then move to the next stage instead of wiring and tuning everything at once.

Wiring

Connect Tool

Shows the two inputs, OR gate, Controller, and Bearing as one readable chain.

Debug labeling

Paint Tool

Colors inputs, logic, and output differently.

Prototype

Lift

Supports a test door away from the base wall.

06 / Check every signal

Connection map

Read each row from input to output. Name or color the physical controls to match this map before closing the bodywork.

07 / Commission the build

Test bench

Run these checks with the normal load fitted. If one fails, make the listed physical change and repeat that same test before changing another variable.

TestPass conditionIf it fails

Four-state input

Every Button combination matches the plan

Trace inputs before changing the Controller

Obstruction test

Door stops against a safe physical limit

Reduce angle and move the Button out of the sweep

Reload state

Door state is understandable after returning to the world

Add a visible maintenance reset

08 / Adapt after it works
