The autodoor draws 50 W of [[power]] at all times. If not enough power is available or the door [[Breakdown|breaks down]], it behaves exactly like a regular [[door]] of the same material.

Contrary to the in-game description, not all autodoors allow unimpeded movement. Actually, a powered autodoor opens at 400% speed. This means that all powered autodoors that are ''not made of stone'' indeed do not slow colonists down; [[move speed]]s that would be high enough to have an effect in this case are rarely achieved in practice. Stone autodoors, however, open only slightly faster than regular wooden doors.

Autodoors open faster than regular doors, but are more expensive - building a large number of autodoors costs many [[component]]s, and you need to power them. High traffic doors should be converted first. Before the late game, you should compare autodoors to wooden or held open doors:
+
* ''Steel'' autodoors offer the best compromise of durability and speed.  Even unpowered they are only slightly slower than wooden doors, but a lot less flammable.
−
 
+
* If fire immunity is required, a ''granite'' autodoor offers the highest durability of the stone doors (270 hit points). In practice, a ''Plasteel'' autodoor is probably the better choice (450 hit points, opens like a steel door when unpowered).
−
*A held open door takes no time to open. If a door does not need to be closed (e.g. a door safely inside your base where [[temperature]] control doesn't matter), then you can just keep it open, saving resources.
+
* Due to the non-trivial power and materials cost, most bases want to use autodoors only in select locations.
−
*A wooden door opens relatively quickly. If a door needs to be closed, and is not opened frequently, then consider a wooden door. Since wooden doors have low HP, though, autodoors can be used in places you expect combat to happen.
+
* Stone autodoors are risky to use, because in times of power failure they will slow down colonists tremendously.  This is especially painful because a blackout situation is very often also an emergency situation, where free movement is important.
−
 
+
* Since autodoors not only open, but also ''close'' fast, they help when a pawn needs to flee from a threat. This means that compared to the regular door, the auto door is more likely to close before the pursuer can step through or block the door.
−
Since autodoors not only open, but also ''close'' fast, they help when a pawn needs to flee from a threat. This means that compared to regular doors, autodoors are more likely to close before the pursuer can step through or block the door. This makes them good choices for main entrances to the base.
+
* Stone autodoors being only slightly faster than (regular) wooden doors means they are not practical in most situations, except when fire immunity is absolutely required, and a failing autodoor would not pose a problem.
−
 
 
−
Material selection is also key. Generally speaking, autodoors are put in positions where their security matters, as otherwise an wooden or open door could be used instead.
 
−
*[[Plasteel]] has the highest {{HP}} and is not flammable, but is expensive. [[Uranium]] has the 2nd highest HP, nonflammable, and somewhat cheaper than plasteel.
 
−
*[[Steel]] has decent HP, and is cheaper than the above metals, but is flammable.
 
−
*[[Bioferrite]]{{AnomalyIcon}} is flammable, but has the lowest [[wealth]] footprint of any material while boasting good HP and opening speed.
 
−
*Stone autodoors open slower than other types of autodoors, though are still reasonably fast (opening slightly faster than regular wooden doors). They are cheap, have good HP, and are not flammable. Note that if the power goes out, then stone autodoors will open even slower. This can be a liability - a blackout situation can quickly turn into an emergency situation.
 
  
−
In the late game, where the material costs are irrelevant, then autodoors can be used anywhere you'd need a closed door.

[[Ideoligion]]s allow the selection of styles which then change the texture of the certain items and buildings when constructed by the colony. These style variants can be crafted if the colony has the selected style, or can be looted from raiders from factions with the requisite style.
