"Peripheral station external access button (the one not on the solar array; that one works fine) refuses to work and I don't know why"

As of posting this issue, the problem is already fixed since I made the comment it wasn't working in the commit in question. I am posting this here for the sake of documentation so that people know why this bug occurred and to avoid it in the future.

What was happening was the external airlock button didn't seem to work, as pressing it would not open the external door like it was supposed to. Keep in mind that at game start, all external airlock assemblies have BOTH doors shut. Attempting to operate this door from the inside going out, however, would work exactly the way it should. At that point, the bug was moot as the airlock would then work for the rest of the round (but you still had to go in through the solar array that first time).

I have discovered the stupidest thing was causing this issue: The inside of the airlock was starting out airless. I initially did this because I wanted a particular tile to be there and did not at the time realize that there was an equivalent tile with air on it. Due to this, the airlock controller was flipping its shit because there was no air to remove from the chamber, and it would abort its process because it couldn't decrease the air level to the threshold that would open the external airlock.

Fuuuck. It works now at least.
