Re-pressurizing rooms is an uphill battle

[BaneOfGiygas]

To provide an example, I was fiddling around with chemistry and accidentally set off a nitrogen triiodide explosion, punching through one (just one) of the chemistry walls. Cue the northeast corner of the chemistry lab and pretty much the entire main hallway of the research sector (and the telesci lab once I broke into that through the wall) losing all of its air and adamantly refusing to regain it, even though I patched the hole up in about a minute, if even that. Shit's ridiculous.
