It can be constructed in a square or circular shape. Several players can use it at the same time in multiplayer.   ## Databank  -**Entry: Hatch**+**Source:** Fabricate a Habitat Builder   > The "Super Barrique" selective passage portal allows for simultaneous two-way, multiple-crew traffic between a pressurized interior and a dangerous exterior. This eliminates the need for lengthy mechanical cycles which can interrupt traffic and reduce the joy of free motion. > > - Heavy duty nanomembrane: molecular machines clasp hands across the entire surface of the hatch > - Sapphire laser systems provide energy and programming > - Membrane accepts crew members and cargo, while rejecting pressure and intruders > - Filters loose biomatter: great for Kharaa monitoring > > The membrane is only slightly weaker than solid titanium. In the event of a power loss, the nanomachines can sustain their grip for days. A mechanical iris is optionally provided to seal in the event of a long-term power failure. > > Instances of limb amputation or removal due to membrane error have been entirely eliminated from the design.  -*Source: Fabricate a Habitat Builder*-  ## Trivia  -* The decision to redesign the hatch to include a bidirectionally permeable nano-membrane as opposed to the mechanical hatches of previous games was made to better account for multiplayer.+* The decision to redesign the hatch to include a bidirectionally permeable nano-membrane, as opposed to the mechanical hatches of previous games, was made to better account for multiplayer.
