View of the blast door block for both small ships (left), and large ships / station (right)
Function
The purpose for the blast door block is to allow the passage between blocks without damaging them. Two of its sides have half a meter of space between it and its neighboring block. This in turn allows for the creation of doors mechanically controlled by rotors and/or pistons that can slide next to other blocks without any damage occurring.
