a little off topic for what is usualy posted here, but none the less

still very much a wip
thw mountan is just a filler, and I need to add details around the tunnels and a few largerhorizontal supors on the main body to give it some defenition, I'm also going to make a little office/controle room type building under the main holding bay, and I plan on makeing a train getting loaded up with ore under the hopper.

oh, and ignor TS' poor atempt at volumetrics

I like that kind of OT :)
It looks good, but fix the pb in the "L" shaped corridor on the right of the pic, in the angle, the roof won't join well.

I agree with Venom on all counts. I would like to add that the L-shaped corridor on the right nees some sort of support, as well. Cross bracing the two segments of the corridor, each to its supporting wall will suffice. Failing that, a vertical beam or three going down to the ground will do. Don't forget to put cross-members to stabilize them if you go that route though.

Oh, also, if I may: add some randomness to the supports, they're too reguilar. Randomness in both the way they're placed, and in their thickness. That would look more convincing this way :)

the tunnle thing on the right was added about five minutes before that render was taken, it needs a bunch of suports and stuff, it's the most unfinished part (other than the stuff I haven't started yet),
crossmembers are the next step to the main structure, also needed on the main suports

Venom's right: the office is a touch on the small side.

I can't get it to work. Well it does, for 10 seconds, I can see the scene and all behind the menu, then it crashes :(

And I can't get the musics to work :( :( :(
"cries even more"
On startup I have two weird messages, it tells me it cannot open the required COM3 port, then same for COM4 :doubt:

yeah the office is too small, should be at least 30% bigger
