/sci/ - Science & Math

someone should make a guide that labels and describes what each thing is

Adding the extra reactor

What is the thing on the furthest right?

Oh, fuckin' A.

Is that a new probe next to Cthulhu?

Where's the gym?

>>3284204
im not sure about that extra reactor.

it's the third reactor already.
it has no electrical connections.

>>3284240
but it's *real* and it took about half an hour. I'll add some cables going off screen.

Hate to be the one to break it down, but I think we're going to need some kind of exercise hall.

Despite actual exercise looking very unattractive to the majority of us, our life-vessels demand it.

what's the decompression chamber (pic related) for, aren't both sides of that one at the same pressure (1 atm)?

>>3284236
between the two living/sleepingroom towers
on top of the black geyser thing.

>>3284251
That would be a clock, comrade.

>>3284246
it doesn't fit the color requirements = it doesn't match the colors of the other stuff.
it doesn't even have a docking bay for those two small submarines that are docked to that room close to the weed room.

>>3284268
but again, it's real. It's not supposed to match or be compatible, it's supposed to provide an off shore autonomous method of power generation.

>>3284281
Don't we have like, three other reactors?

can someone put the shark whale bio submarine back in?

>>3284295
two other, supposed to be one.

>>3284252
Cool now I see thanks!

this is now two votes against the new reactor, and one in favor of it.

Ugh what's all that green shit that's piled up in that big cavern.

>>3284281
It's huge now.....

Need a method of getting around it a lot more quickly/ efficiently, maybe some kind of circular railway going around the facility?

>>3284319
Wait until Mad Scientist comes back before you scrap it.
>>3284326
Good point. It'd be difficult getting an access tunnel in there

>>3284319
I'm all for it, I'm just wondering what we'd use the extra power for.

anyone have that mspaint link? i still need to download a copy.

>>3284331
I was thinking it could be sold to the mainland, or a nearby oil rig for power? the money we got from it could be our continued funding in case our billionaire supporter dies or leaves or realises we spent his money on pressurised bars and strip clubs
>>3284342
sure, here you go:
http://www.sheeptech.com/download/mspaint.exe

>>3284348
>for power
oh god what is this

>>3284331
Huge-ass Tesla coils, supercolliders, charging electric manned and unmanned undersea craft, supercomputer arrays, and a thousand yet-unimagined other projects. It's far better to have it available if necessary.

Can somebody draw a HUGE drilling rig somewhere? Would be fucking awesome.

Added an airlock above the crystal research area.

The people have to get there somehow, right?

>>3284411
>this base is so perfect

Okay apparently someone made this thread without me, give me some time to integrate all the new changes.

Someone needs to add a thermal energy conversion type building next to that small magma thing.

>>3284450
the one above the cave storage system is connected to a pump and gives the whole place hot water.

some minor improvments: biohazard sign, dna projection, submarine is back, colors in the shroom cave

>>3284299
Put the sub back in and added another one because FUCK YOU

hold on everyone, Mad Scientist's updating it.

>>3284462
awwwh, beat me to it...

can someone an airlock somewhere that leads to the seafloor, so visitors and citizens could walk on seafloor and look at all the coral and fish

>>3284463
I like this idea.

Have a couple biosubs on patrol at all times, lest the engineers return.

>>3284473
then fuck yourself now.

Will we ever have a numbered list explaining the things in the picture? A lot of the things in there are really small, no one even still knows what's in there...

My mspaint doesn't want to open png files
i'm running version 5.1

max population: 25
if we changed all the single beds to bunk beds (except for the captains room), we could push that up to 44 (not 50 because some beds are allready bunk beds

>>3284490
I'll make one once the updates slow down.
>>3284493
wha?
I'll stick my copy on the website.

>>3284497
if people would work in shifts, we had the double amount

Okay, here's everything that made the cut. Tinkered with the red crystal lab sub launching bay, gave it a more curve hull where it's exposed to water and a better looking hatch. Repositioned the desalination plant so it connects to the apartments and added the turret, bunch of other minor tweaks.

>>3284511
>no flexblue
:o

>>3284511
what happened to the lecture hall with the 3d projector?

>>3284499

How about a chamber with human test subjects suspended in some sort of fluid (kind of in the spirit of the movie aliens). I'm thinking it would go well in the gap beneath the rocket silo.

>>3284527
I've uploaded a copy of 6.1 at https://sites.google.com/site/scienceandmathguide/-sci-undersea-research-base
it's from windows 7 x64, so it might not work. Stick it in C:\Windows\System32 after renaming the one that's already there so it doesn't get deleted.

Hmm I can't find the weapons.

>>3284531
Not Mad Scientist, but it looked silly. All the seats were facing weird directions and stuff

>>3284165
What's that to the left of the cargo bay? A genetics research facility?

Someone should number each room then make a key detailing what it all is. Can be a bit confusing if you aren't following every post.

I've added in additional changes and made some fixes

However, the jeffries tubes are a no-go. They take up too much room that could be used by unique specialize sections with their own artwork. If you're gonna use up space, make it something interesting to look at.

Also, could someone beautify the lecture hall? I'm not feelin' it right now.

>>3284550
we found some genetic material at the bottom of the cave system and stuck it in agar jelly. That's where we're storing what grew.

>>3284529

>>>no flexblue

There was a flexblue reactor? When? Where?

I can't add things I don't know about.

>>3284569
Awesome.

>>3284573
it's in >>3284462
at the bottom left. Not quite to scale, 'cos it's huge.

>>3284546
It's used as a planetarium, too. Dem swivel chairs.

Okay I see the flexblue reactor but that art is terrible. If someone wants to clean it up we can definitely add it.

>>3284576

Is a toroidal particle accelerator possible somewhere?

>>3284589
lol, I tried to go for accuracy rather than looks. Touching it up now

>>3284539
interesting. I try opening it says "not valid win32 application"

then when I try again, it has reverted to the 5.1 version by itself.

Seems like there should be some sort of tram to get from one side to the other.

>>3284599
alright went through add/remove windows component. now working.

>>3284609

>>Seems like there should be some sort of tram to get from one side to the other.

There is a tram, for getting from the server room to the exploration deck. If someone can find a way to carefully embed a track for getting from one end of the entire base to the other using that tram design it'd be agreeable.

>>3284562
>Also, could someone beautify the lecture hall? I'm not feelin' it right now.
the honeycomb structure of the dome is a bit awkward, I admit.

Well SHIT this has most definite grown since I last checked...

EVERYONE

I AM ADDING A LARGE RED CRYSTAL TORPEDO CANNON

STAND THE FUCK BACK

>>3284624
it's awesome.

>>3284668
What the fuck is that whale? Where did it come from?

>>3284690
It's one of our sound-laser shooting biosubs. Complete with Cthulhu DNA!

this is neat, but can you fill me in I haven't seen these threads before

Check it out, I've redone the lecture hall dome. Now it's reinforced with a steel skeleton.

>>3284712
Ohh... It's the side view of those things above our rocket.

>>3284731
Totally approved.

>>3284599
yay :D
Flexblue's controls are now done, Still working out what to do in the rest of it.

>>3284775

Well? What did you add, and where?

so this has been annoying me for a bit... the original posts i have read state that this base is on the continental shelf, yet the picture shows two sets of black smokers. those aren't generally found on the continental shelf and are more often found on the abyssal plain at mid ocean ridges. this picture is not scientifically accurate /sci/.

>>3284775

He added some eggs bottom left. And some kind of alien creature escaping out of a crate.

>>3284811

>>so this has been annoying me for a bit... the original posts i have read state that this base is on the continental shelf, yet the picture shows two sets of black smokers. those aren't generally found on the continental shelf and are more often found on the abyssal plain at mid ocean ridges. this picture is not scientifically accurate /sci/.

It's a new discovery. Shallow water smokers. Also, updated pic with bunk beds as recommended earlier, max capacity is now 44.

Are we going to start investigating the huge mass of green stuff at the back of the cave at any point?

>>3284844
nice eggs. what creature?

>>3284864

Pretty sure that's Cthulu shit.

>>3284864
>>3284874
That was originally supposed to be a trash heap, even though there is already a trash disposal unit.

OK, Flexblue's been neatened up. Pretty sure I got most of the elements of a working reactor in there

>>3284845
Aren't there a few too many of those red crystal filled rockets? Feels like there should be at most half as many... maybe I'm crazy though

>>3284915
Is that a yellow dwarf working in there?

>>3284920
We have a crystorpedo launcher in the making.

>>3284920
no. the rockets don't need a lot of red crystal for great firepower. quite efficient.

There should be a /sci/ minecraft to actually build this stuff

>>3284927
HazMat suit :D

I tried adding to the tram thing a little, would still need to be connected to anything via elevator and hallway though...

>>3284915

Looks great, added. Now we can export power as another source of revenue.

>>3284953
whoo!

>>3284948

It's much too small, is the issue. Look at how large the beds/toilets/etc. are. There are even a few stick figure people here and there you can use to determine scale.

>>3284951

Good thinking, but two things:

#1. No slopes, consider pneumatic tram elevators like in halflife.

#2. Have the other station positioned underneath the elevator down to the conference room.

>>3284961
good point, remove it if you want.

needs a grand library

>>3284971

Done, and I added a submersible docking station.

>>3285007

>>needs a grand library

So add one.

Just curious but do you guys realize the amount of reinforcement some of these areas would take just to keep this ocean cave from collapsing? And if we're not at a bit above neutral buoyancy this thing is going to shit. There really needs to be a reinforcement set in here somewhere otherwise this whole plan will NEVER get funded.

>>3285017
You seem to believe I care enough to make one.

Also needs a centralized hospital of some sort.

you need more labs

>>3285013
looks quite grafted

Finished the Red Crystal Torpedo loading system, and the cannon tower itself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSFjhWw4DNo&feature=related
I feel an urge to post this here, for if we manage to construct a runway.

>>3285060
lol

where the fuck are the departments of engineering and geology and the meeting room?

>>3285087
Geology labs are in the shroom cave and the small diving robot control room. Meetings can be done in the lecture dome and in the world control room.

>>3284969
Alright, I hope that's what you meant. I do realize there needs to be additional stuff for the pneumatic elevator shaft, but... well, it's getting late over here.

>>3285115
You're so smart I'm getting wet.

>>3285073
a helicopter can land on the orange swimmer

>>3285134
I beg your pardon?

We seem to be getting really close to the surface, unless it isn't to scale or whatever

>>3285136
I know, but that's nowhere near as cool as doing it with a cargo plane and god damn rockets.

>>3285156
then land your cannon ship on the orange platform.

Why is the torpedo and killer whale rooms only available through a bar?

>>3285126
Also, you fucked up the image there.

>>3285172
BRILLIANT
It's only rubber/canvas and steel though, it might have trouble with a fully laden hercules.

Well, I guess you don't need this, but here's another tram system that uses the Jeffrey's tubes. Think of it as a skytrain/subway electric rail system tram, so it can go up ramps?

>>3285201
the strato-herc can drop parachuting crates, and the transport submarines will pick them up.

>>3285236
okie

you need less ladders and less weapons.

Your paint-fu is strong.

However your base design could be optimised.
I planed to store the boxes in the large cave and use a moon-pool similar to the sub-pen to allow the grabber arm to drop through and retreive them and pull them out up to the roof of the cave and out of the water.

All of anons inalianable rights reserved of cource.

Whew, okay. Crystal Torpedo Cannon and tram rail expansion added. Most of my time was taken up finishing the rail expansion details.

>>3285256
Here is the .peng version.

>>3285256
>2011
>putting all your defenses in one location

>>3285278
Yeah, we need to add some defense to the residential section.

>>3285256

Whew, okay. Crystal Torpedo Cannon and tram rail expansion added. Most of my time was taken up finishing the rail expansion details.

>>3285256

Seriously? Copied and pasted? Can't we use that space for something original, not seen elsewhere in the base?

>>3285314

We already have a turret by the residential tower, it's on top of the desalination plant.

We should really come up with a list of shit we already have so we don't wind up with redundant sections, like the 3 nuclear plants.

>>3285333
You need some surface mines, otherwise your navy will be too slow to that flank.

>>3285317
I'd rather use that space for the storage to free up space where the other storage is. Because first of all it doesnt make sence having huge pressurised areas that you dont need like the port and the missile launch bay.

Then you can use the bunker-type rooms for other uses. Atm most of the rooms are small. Why cant we make a huge intellegence analyist space, like the one from goldeneye. (and i'm not copying the conference room)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te9ioCZOOa0

Also, i liked the asthetic idea of the underwater staircase and walkway leading into the darkness next to the cathuhlu.

post yfw the caverns underneath the base collapse

>>3285366

>>I'd rather use that space for the storage to free up space where the other storage is. Because first of all it doesnt make sence having huge pressurised areas that you dont need like the port and the missile launch bay.

We need to be able to open the crates and get at the supplies inside. This necessitates having someplace we can place the crates that is dry and at 1atm. Presumably the crates contain food, equipment, etc. and that stuff needs to be able to get inside the base. We're not importing crates to build box forts or just to have them sitting around. Logistics, man!

Do we have any place that makes clean water, or do we import that too?

>>3285399

>>Do we have any place that makes clean water, or do we import that too?

There's a desalination plant at the far left.

Have a small office. You'll need it. It's with an vehicle, just in case.
I might fit next to the twin torpedo battery.

There should be a recording studio. We could have quite a profitable business by having it in such a unique location and vibe.

Also we need somewhere to treat the audio and video of the environment around us. A proper 'media' studio would be very, very helpful as it is.

>>3285350
Why so militaristic /int ? It was planned as a peaceful research thing.
I don't want water mines, coz maybe I wanna take a ride with a speedboat.

what the hell do the turrets fire? torpedoes? It sure as hell isn't a kinetic projectile, that just doesn't seem efficent unless it's one of those russian supersonic underwater missiles.

>>3285430
I agree, bin Laden would have been much more successful if he had used an underwater production studio using the latest digital equipment, he may even been alive to tell us how awesome the condenser over the mic is.

>>3285440

This.

Also we're lacking an actual command centre. Think CIC from Battlestar.

>>3285390
what he writes there is correct.

>>3285437
You need to protect your secrets and sovereignty. They don't protect themselves.

>>3285390
What are you talking about drawfag?

My system is better and i think your butthurt. Also i am rage that i made it in an area none was using to free up space which YOU wasted, and you dont want to add it. Also it took me ages to do because those boxes were custom made.

Oh and pardon me for not re-inventing the wheel.

Yeah, in all cases you can see torpedos being loaded into them from beneath or waiting on racks nearby.

>>3285459
To protect a secret it needs stealth, not mines. Mines are (e.g.) detectable from space. Also mines are banned by UN.

>>3285451
the world control room is not enough?

>>3285468
>And thus the great oceanic wars began.

>>3285499
>>3285468
>>3285390
Put those custom tailored boxes into the old cargo bay. Let the aquanaut explore that huge cave first. What if there are hidden species, like those eggs?

>>3285425
Someone add this.

>>3285025
The reason why nothing will collapse is that underwater everything weighs less, buoyancy.

>>3285533
Are you ignoring earthquakes and rockslides?

>>3285545
Yes. Noone builds underwater research stations into geologically active regions

>>3285488
I just wanna register a couple things i'm not CRAZY about.

1. Red crystal. What is it supposed to be, are its properties even based in reality?
2. The defense system seems not have had a lot of thought put into it, the turrets are superfluous, torpedoes turn, bullets don't, also torpedoes should not be kept fueled waiting to be fired, it's crazy unsafe.
3. There needs to be scaffolding around the outside to give it rigidity. If no one wants to cover the whole thing (who would) it should be implied with just a little but around one edge then cut-away.
4. What is with the giant missile launching thing, is it our space program or are we armed with ICBMs, because that is not very defensive posture wise.
5. NZT is a stupid work of fiction, wipe it out
6. The weed farm? we don't need to dumb down our workforce, make them lazy, and fat, scrap it.
7. I'm not sure our energy production is adequate to fit our needs...

Overall, this thing is awesome, and I'm glad i've seen it evolving. You guys rock.

>>3285517

Done.

>>3285548
So they don't build research stations?

Alright, ignore the rest of the map except the grand library I added to the left of the Geodome Quarters.

>>3285574
lol, I dunno. But mines are still banned by UN.

>>3285574

>>So they don't build research stations?

We have three in the US at the moment, two owned by universities and one government funded, pictured.

I think he just meant we don't locate them over faults.

Would be cool to do one of these threads for an advanced city rather than a modern work area.

>>3285587
We'll call them research vessels and only activate them during defcon 4

>>3285586
nice. where's the librarian? and could you add that small office module from >>3285425 ??

>>3285591
Again, I MUST insist on the peaceful nature of our science mission here.

>>3285593
Librarians desk added

>>3285593
oh i'm an idiot. you did already.

>>3285601
And when the world doesn't believe in your peaceful nature, what will you do, insist harder?

>>3285586

Very nice detail. Added.

>>3285613
Forgot pic

>>3285625
Damnit, just forget the librarian I can't seem to post this image

>>3285616
Convince with reason, I suppose.
Why would someone attack an international research station? Noone does this shit.
Neither China nor India don't take down the ISS. Even Achmadinedjad wouldn't do it if he had a rocket.
You are just looking for paranoid reasons to justify your war research.

>>3285633
I see. You believe the beneficence of the multi-billionaire who aided it's construction is equally liked among all nations?

And who gave you this idea that it was an international effort.

It's a republic and has sovereignty. It won't be ignored for long, but keep trying your reason in the face of madness.

>>3285551
Red crystal is a recently discovered diamagnetic element, which we are using to propel our rockets/subs.

Coincidentally, it explodes.

>>3285624
This really should be connected to something. Why isn't it?

>>3285663

It is, by submarine. Look near the bottom of your image.

We don't want that portion of the base to be very easy to get to for obvious reasons.

I don't know the purpose of the room between twin torpedo turret and submarine hangar.

add further rec areas besides a tittybar.

like a gym

or a sauna

or a racquetball court

or artificial beach, fuck yeah for one

>>3285767

We have a gym, to the lower right of the apartment tower. And two entertainment rooms.

>>3285770
And a planetarium.

>>3285770
Add a fish farm.

Gotta feed those whales man. And add like a hatch thing with a net to bait fish incase we run out. Like a mass fishery day in day out.

And also +1 to survivability.

We must, MUST build this in terraria.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v91sdcYmctA

>>3285780
I thought the whole idea with having whales was that they feed themselves.

Ok,

Somthing like this.

Add weapons on those whales or amphibious speedboats or something so we can raid the coast for supplies.

And a pen or jail or something to keep captured prisoners.

>>3285791

We're not doing that. All you did was copy and paste shit into the cave and ruin the logistics of getting supplies inside.

If you want to contribute something, make it original artwork that doesn't claim someone else's space.

>>3285808
second.

>>3285808
I still like his blue camo boxes though. Can't we keep them?

add a slave pen

>>3285846

You haven't said where it is. I don't see it.

>>3285663
are you retarded?

>>3285855
near the whale place

feel free to upgrade

and add weapons

and perhaps a torture/bondage chamber

>>3285858

Why don't you do that? A little effort isn't too much to ask.

The rocket will crash into the slaves. Poor guys. Expensive type of torturing. Maybe waterboarding or extracting their fingernails with a forceps would be cheaper.

Little changes: Snow in Canada added, Galapagos added in the world room. Water color next to the aquanaut corrected. Blue crates integrated.

>>3285909
Aquanaut?

>>3285922
It's the same as an astronaut, but he is under water (=aqua). A diver, frogman, whatever. The guy diving in the cave.

>>3285909

Added, but the slave room will be left out until some effort is put into it, and it can be located someplace not obstructing the rocket launch tube.

>>3285909
Fixed up the slave chambers a bit, added beds, bigger room and washroom/disposal hatch area.

Added artificial beach. Next to restaurant, ignore rest of map

>>3285946

Any way I could get you to move it so it's not right over the rocket launch tube?

>>3285960
Forgot the ladder, whoops

>>3285960
palm trees? more sand? it's barely recognizable. swim toys?

>>3285966
Why slaves anyway? It's retarded.

>>3285969
your under water herpderp city is going to cave in just so you know

Fixed and relocated slavechambers + added hatch to that dark place

>>3285982
We need a readily available supply of manual labour + people doing dangerous jobs + strippers
>>3285966
Fixed.
>>3285969
Someone combine ours, and remove his tub things.

Tuned the beach a little bit.

>>3286009
>source of manual labour + people doing dangerous jobs
how about paying them as well-trained specialists?

added some much needed support

>>3286028
But think of the money we'll save.

I don't want to see that perfectly placed area go to waste.

>>3286036
Slaves work shitty and imprecisely. Any things done by slaves will break like shoes from China.

mined out the crystal a bit more..

>>3286034
what support? I can't see a thing.

>>3286043
left hand side.

>>3285808
Your fulla crap.

Okay, added an artificial beach by popular demand. It's just to the right of the lecture hall.

>>3285985
buoyancy, do you know it?

>>3286061
Ah, thats better than my one. Thanks

>>3286067
There is no way that the amount of oxygen in the system would be able to make the whole structure buoyant......

>>3286061
A sun, lol.

>>3286075
So oxygen content creates buoyancy? Lmfao

>>3286038
Nah we just need slaves to clean the area or for cannon fodder stuff. Basic stuff. Or tend the garden. And of course be strippers.

They get freedom if they work hard enough.

>>3286091

Why not robots? We could add a robot factory.

>>3286091
This is retarded. Hire professional gardeners and botanists.
You will be my first cleaning lady.

>>3286097
yes.

>>3286097

I won't be back until later, but I can start on it.

>>3286108

Fuck yes. You did the red crystal torpedo loading mechanism right? If anyone should do the robot factory it's you.

This looks mildly interesting and the old thread looks to be dead. Is it saved anywhere or can someone explain what's all this about?

>>3286112

Glad you guys liked it!

Anything I should know before I start? I really don't want it to be a large area like the rocket bay or cargo room.

Maybe a small but linear assembly line?

Or maybe modular assembly "cubes", a la Portal 2?

>>3286120
/Sci/ got a billionaire investor. We make a utopian underwater place. Scenarios are introduced, etc.

>>3286112
I second that motion. That dude is fucking skilled.

I compiled everything up to this point.

Fine, it will be our prison/disposal hatch.

We are bound to get invaders/pirates. We can kill them off.

>>3286132

Remember the teaser trailer for Terminator 2 where they showed the steps in assembling T-800s? I was thinkin' something like that, an assembly line with four or five robots in progressively more complete states of construction.

Seems like it might fit in just above the mouth to Cthulu's cave.

>>3286172

Space is at a premium right now. We don't need that module. And we do need that space for a new module by someone who made a much acclaimed section in the past.

>>3286172
>leave thread
>come back 2 hours later
>there is now a direct hatch to Cthulu.

>>3286175

Okay, now I have two ideas for robots.

One is an offshoot of the asimo robot. Versatile, Clean and capable of preforming work underwater.

OR

A sort of kiosk-type robot that moves by balancing on one wheel. Could be equipped with built in weapons, and could serve as guard/security enforcement robots without being TOO capable of rising up and killing their masters.

How about this.

We capture people from the surface, feed it to cthulu and in exchange he gives us the dark magic of science.

>>3286144
Was the previous thread not saved at all? I'm assuming it started off as basically nothing. It sounds like a good timesink reading up to how all this was made.

>>3286212
How 'bout this?

>>3286218
/sci/ has 3-4 people max.

not enough to save.

i'm gonna try to offshoot this to make it vidya edition.

>>3286231

What if we made a sort of cross-board portal within the base?

>>3286231
>>>/v/100236785

>>3286212

Asimo, definitely.

>>3286231
Would you like it to be full of crudely drawn penises and illogical modules? Because if so, then go ahead.

>>3286244
equip it with some sort of fins, so that it can swim better

*AUTOSAGE*

GOES IN THE EMAIL FIELD

KRAUTCHAN WORKS THE SAME WAY AS 4CHAN

no

I still feel like the dining hall ought to go on top of the living quarters, for convenience sake. The terrarium/dio dome and garden can be integrated, or keep two separate modules.

Theres so many toilets, but no septic tank. Add one or else youll be enjoying your view of pure shit and piss in a week.

>>3286298

>>I still feel like the dining hall ought to go on top of the living quarters

Look closely, there's a kitchen mid-level in the apartment tower with a fridge and microwave. That will suffice for snacks. The revolving restaurant is mainly for tourists, who don't want unshaven, unkempt /sci/ducks wandering through at odd hours to get a bite to eat. :3

Maybe someone here wants to do a oldschool trieste submarine.

Holy fuck, a planetarium, underneath the rocket base.

I know Mad Scientist is gonna move it he likes it anyway, so I'm leaving it on the map where it is. Disregard the rest of the map.

>>3286361
*if he likes it

Needs a secret ventilation shaft to hidden mad scientest cave.

>>3286361
>implying that the lecture dome projector can't do that already.
also, why with bars? present that to your high school then you can do it with oranges.

>>3286361

>>Holy fuck, a planetarium

Oh man it's all old fashioned with model planets on revolving armatures. You KNOW we're adding that.

Bump.

Still working on the robot factory.

i added a relay beacon. i thought it was needed

>>3286972
Why hydrothermal vents not used for power?

>>3286949
I know. It looks like /sci/ grew up since I left.

Oh wait, they're drawing plans for big undersea forts.

>>3287019

power charge caused by built in heavy duty solar cells. jets on the sides keep stabilized in water.

The graphics remind me of BYOND games. Especially games like Space Station 13. Totally a game for /sci/.

>>3287057
>Oh wait, they're drawing plans for big undersea forts.

Yeah that's called aspies merging with reality.

>>3287057

added a weight room with big HRC for heart rate center

>>3286962

That's a sonar array and a torpedo turret.

>>3287104
Oh, no, I think this is awesome. I like how you've got the designing undersea forts, without the crappy videogame quotes.

>>3287201

We already have a gym, just under and to the right of the apartment tower.

Added the Robot Factory.

An automated cargo tram brings in raw materials via elevator, while another tram brings the finished robots to the main track, ready for deployment.

Make adjustments as needed.

>>3287201

IT BUUUURRRRNS

>>3287358

its a different wing.

>>3287359

Fucking added. Can't wait to see what you do when Inurdaes starts his Mars base.

>>3287418
:3

>>3287418

Thanks!

Some other things I had in mind were:

Weapons Testing Room
CIC
Particle Collider
Radio Telescope
Chemical/Petrol Refinery
Horror Lab
Applied Quantum Mechanics Lab
Visitors Center
Cryogenics Lab
and maybe an Expanded Library.

>>3287430

>>3287418

Why the magnetic tape and not HDDs or SSDs?

>>3287591

I heard magnetic tape is actually more efficient for massive amounts of storage. CERN uses it for it's LHC data.

>>3287622

It's a bit cheaper per bit, but takes up FAR more space.

>>3287418

>beach inside the ocean

for the record, red crystal is only almost as stupid as putting solar arrays under the water....

>>3289467
It's not a solar panel, it's a sonar array.

Also, I do think the prison was a good idea, we need a place to hold criminals, do we not?
Killing them is not always an option, as they may still hold valuable information, or be spies from another country which we can still use for our own purposes.
It could be smaller though, I don't think we'll ever have that many prisoners.

Also, the relay beacon looked cool and doesn't really take up space anywhere where space is needed, why wasn't it added?

>>3289744
are we talking about the same thing? the array of panels near the twin torpedo turrets (also not a fan of)

>>3287271
Yes, he says here:
>>3289837
that the solar panel looking thing is actually a sonar. I don't think you should mind the red crystals too much, the whole base is not really supposed to be 100% scientific, more scifi.

>>3289890

Made a different sonar, since everyone keeps thinking it's a solar panel array.

>>3289890
I'm not suggesting I would do a better rendition, but that's not a great sonar array, it's uni-directional, they're all pointed in the same direction. A dome would be better, that's how sonar is actually housed.

>>3289913
A definite improvement, but it looks like radar to me.

>>3289939

Everyone's a critic.

What programs is everyone using to draw this shit?

>>3290329
MS paint, I think

>>3290329
I used GIMP... I only did a sucky part, though, so maybe the people who added something decent used something else. On the other hand, I suck at drawing, so they might have used something like it.

>>3290047
sorry, just thought sonar should look like sonar

bumper cars. we need bumper cars.
