Automatic Base Doors

Automatically closes supported player-built doors and large wall gates after a configurable delay. [hr][/hr]

Features

• Closes supported player-built doors and wall gates after two seconds by default.
• Ignores enemy-camp doors and other world-owned doors.
• Adds an optional C: Toggle Auto Close action for one exact door at a time.
• Synchronizes per-door changes through the authoritative dedicated server.
• Persists the configured door GUID list across normal game and server restarts.
• Optionally treats the persistent list as an allowlist instead of an exclusion list.
• Shows a toast after the server acknowledges the new state.
• Uses event-driven hooks with no recurring polling loop.

Dedicated Servers

Install Automatic Base Doors and UE4SS on the server. Shared Interaction UI is a client-side Workshop dependency used only by my mods and is not installed or required in the dedicated-server runtime. Subscribed clients receive SIU for the optional per-door toggle; other connecting players need no client mod. [hr][/hr]

Single Player

Install Automatic Base Doors in the game client. Install Shared Interaction UI as well to use C: Toggle Auto Close. [hr][/hr]

Configuration

Edit Scripts\config.lua, then fully restart Palworld or the dedicated server. close_delay_seconds controls the delay and defaults to 2.0 seconds. invert_exclusion_list defaults to false, so listed doors do not auto-close. Set it to true to make only listed doors auto-close. The existing Scripts\auto_close_exclusions.txt file is used in both modes, and C: Toggle Auto Close always toggles the door's actual enabled state.

Auto-open

Auto-open is enabled by default. Set auto_open_enabled = false in Scripts/config.lua on the host or server to disable it, then restart. Accessible doors with auto-close enabled open when a player enters their interaction volume and close after the last player leaves. auto_open_exit_delay_seconds defaults to 0.25 seconds; manually opened doors retain close_delay_seconds (2 seconds by default). Returning cancels closure. Password-locked doors remain manual. Preserve your config.lua and auto_close_exclusions.txt when upgrading.
