Who’s got the power?
Year of sustainability and all I got to thinking about power sources on SciPrime. One of the power generation plants, an old-school installation is a fission reactor, so I decided to make one … problem is I have no idea what they might look like.
I figured, future, high tech, these things would be safe, right? So I planted one dead centre in the cloister between main domes. I mean if there are serious, who would not want one next door.

…after all they all need power. There will be a more modern heliostat array for solar power to the east but I figured they needed something up and running as a first case/backup should obligatory dust storms obliterate the sky. I think it makes sense, and am quite happy with the result.
Fairly happy with the cloister also as a main thoroughfare between domes – I made modular airlocks to interface walkways with other buildings so it is a little like lego from hell at this stage but interesting to see the complex take shape – amazing what adding textures and masks can do to brighten up placeholer shapes. The devil is in the detail, and adding detail makes it feel much more convincing as well.
