It's done, at last! At least a hundred hours went into the digging and building of this thing, and presumably a lot more polishing it! You can spam the quick-stack button as you fall down the shaft in the middle, which happens to be the main hellevator of the world, to clear your inventory in seconds. There's living quarters, there's bathrooms, there's a main power generator that uses some pinkish fuel (Liquid Erchius Fuel from Starbound much?), there's even a science lab! I mean, what else could you possibly need?
I mainly listened to this one really chill remix of Super Metroid's West Brinstar from a fangame called AM2R while building all this. Here's a link to the official soundtrack from its website since I can't find the individual song on Youtube. Scroll down a little!
Now, up top on the build, if you don't understand the significance of the orange teleporter above the long tunnel down, don't worry. It's supposed to pay homage to how the elevator rooms looked like in Metroid NES and Super Metroid. I always loved how they looked! The orange/yellow platform as the elevator never technically made sense to me, but it looked so cool to me with the electricity flowing in the glass tubes right beside it, so I decided to replicate it here. There's some Martian Astro Clocks near it, but really they're not supposed to be clocks as much as they're supposed to be decorations that resemble the Metroid bubble doors.
I didn't really have to include the bottom, but it just made the facility feel a lot more complete. Rather than Metroid, this time it draws a lot of inspiration from Starbound, which actually scales a lot of its objects correctly relative to the player. I tried my best to do that here. What do you think?
