[Feature]New atmos/various states emergency energy shield

[Superlagg]

So the shield only specifically blocks liquids, gases, or solids? Like, you could walk through a gas shield?

No, but that could be interesting. The way I have it is: atmos Shield only blocks gas, liquid should block atmos and liquid, and solid blocks everything, just the same as any regular wall.

Ahh. I was imagining those shields you see in Star Wars where they just have an open port to space that keeps atmosphere in but lets ships and stuff pass through

Sorry, I somehow misunderstood your question. You can walk through a gas or liquid shield. The main idea I was going for was those Star Wars shields, I mentioned elsewhere in my post that I wanted to put a shield like that for pod bays so they can go in and out without having to open and close the doors, and maybe on some high use airlocks. But I wanted to see how this was received before I went any further with it.

Oooh ok now I love this! We could even retrofit the stations with these, stick them in vital areas and have them turn on whenever something explodes, sealing in the freshness until someone can patch up the hole. A couple of these in Medbay would change *everything*. Or maybe they hang out in the hookups and exert their containment across the station? Either way, I love it! (they can prevent air from leaking out the floor though, right?)

Hm. Waaaay outside of the scope of this, but I wonder if it's at all doable to have something like this gradually repressurize the contained area, maybe connected to a gas can and distributing the gas by running cataclysmic levels of calculations onto every tile evenly.
