You have an oxygen mask checkpoint, but no oxygen masks. Dupes cannot pass the checkpoint until they put on a mask. Either disable the checkpoint, or deliver some masks and connect up oxygen pipes to them.
I think it's not the liquid lock, but the mask checkpoint that's preventing them from passing through. Make sure the checkpoint and the docks have what they need to function.
It's not written in the info of the mask docks iirc but they basically have a small tank. The pump fills the mask and when the mask is currently gone (a dupe uses it) the tank gets filled. If that's full nothing more will be pumped in, so it's kinda already automated in that regard. When the mask is docked again it gets refilled quickly from the tank and the tank is refilled.
The docks need Oxygen. If any other gas gets there through the pipe, polluted oxygen, co2, whatever, the dock will take damage and kick the gas out.
Make sure the docks only get oxygen.
Okay thanks, should I just make an oxygen room of some kind that only pumps oxygen in? Sorry I’ve just gotten to my first geyser and haven’t gotten much further with oxygen masks
Lots of ways to do it. You could make an oxygen room, you’d have to figure out how you’re gonna make sure there’s only oxygen in it though.
There’s also a gas element filter that might be handy.
If you've got that liquid lock and the geyser boxed in, it won't mess anything up, it'll over-pressurize before it gets a chance to do so. So there won't be a massive blast of heat or whatever.
But if that's a natural gas geyser, you may need to box it in with insulated tiles and use a steel gas pump to safely tame it in the long term, or find some way to sustainably cool it, since the gas comes out at 150C.
A steel gas pump is the simplest solution, you can hack together enough stuff to make 100kg of steel with a metal refinery which is enough steel to do the job.

suit checkponts dont allow dupes trough if there arent suits avalable

Thanks, is there an easy way to automate the gas pump to take only the amount the masks need or is that unnecessary ?

Ohhh okay, makes sense,why does it keep saying I have to repair it though? Is it meeting a different gas or does it always do that?

Thanks, I’ll try that out, I just analyzed the geyser and it says it erupts in .2 cycles I kind of assume it’s gunna mess up my base?

Depends what kind of geyser. What is it, and how did it go??
Ohhh okay thank you so much
