Huge hangar bay doors (and hangar), to provide storage of larger sized ships, up to small capital ships. The entire hangar is airtight! 100% vanilla, no mods needed. The doors are automated by means of a timer block sequence, more about that below under ~~Miscellaneous~~

Successor to the original Storable Hangar Bay Doors! ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=909634127 ), which sadly turned out to be broken due to changes made by Keen.

I worked around it this time by adding an anchor block (which counts as a 'base'), which is in turn connected by means of a rotor to the hangar. The hangar itself remains a ship, but does not move beyond 0,01 m/s, in case you are interested ;). The entire build is completely stable, with over 100 openings and closings in sequence after one another did not result in any damage whatsoever. To anyone with the same problem: you can solve it that way.

I am quite certain this is the largest foldable and storable door ever made in this game, but correct me if I am wrong!

~~ Miscellaneous

The opening and closing sequences are automated. The timer blocks controlling it are labelled Opening sequence 1 through 6 and Closing sequence 1 through 5.

Note: the Opening Sequence in this blueprint is still turned OFF. This is caused by the last closing sequence block, 'Closing sequence - 5', which instead of enabling the Opening Sequence blocks, disables them. You need to manually change the 'Opening sequence' in the 'Closing sequence - 5' block to 'on', instead of 'off'. It is the fourth entity in the row of Closing sequence - 5. Afterwards, turn all the Opening Sequence timer blocks involved on.

After that, it will work forever. You can just sit in the chair as in the video and try it out.

Want me to make a space station with such hangars (albeit a bit smaller) ? Let me know in the comments.
