I like this idea. This would make raiding bases a whole lot easier and faster by brute forcing the combination :D
I don't think the devs would like this too much though...

Yeah thats the only down fall.. is bruteforcing would be a bit faster and people would start making scripts to do it perfrct and fast.. but that issue would be resolved if they added a 5 dial combo lock. The 3 dial needs to be removed from the game personally i think.

Although they could just add some type of speed limter on how fast you can cycle through the numbers with the scroll wheel..

The main point of this post, wasn't for the people who brute force bases. Its for people who want to open their locks faster.. I had a base that had 10+ gates to get into a main room.. it takes a long time just to open all that. It would be a lot harder to bruteforce a 5 dial lock.

I like this.

I always found it annoying I had to count in my head and was always frustrated when I wasn't listening to the click close enough and went one past and couldn't scroll back one click.

just add a memory, one click open option for people who have entered the pass code correctly once before - it's so simple

... and keep the lock on the gate rather than it falling to the floor

I think having the lock stay on the gate is perfect.
So once you unlock the gate you open the gate, you walk inside, close the gate and look at the lock and there should be an option to lock the gate, rather than having to pick up and lock and attach it to the gate again.

@Geez any message/feedback from the devs with this? Please and thank you.
