Is it possible to add door locks? Maybe in construction menu? My great base is full of guns,ammo,food etc but it has open doors…

i’m pretty sure that would be pretty damn useless , people just smash those open , so locks are kinda /very/ useless

Suggestion: Don’t build a door at all. Just wall your home in, but then build an underground passage that leads outside, even if it’s just a few tiles long, enough to go under the wall.

Edit: Actually, scratch that. Underground passage might be zombie-proof but stairs make dragging any sort of cart impossible.
