I was only going to post a select few of the environments from last year, but I've gotten such positive feedback on the ones I've posted the last few days, that I figured I might as well put up a few more!
This one has a few value structure problems, but I learned a lot from it. Looking to delve back into sci fi stuff soon in an effort to improve on mechanical and architectural structures.
(Whoops, sorry this reply is so late!) To be honest, I don't feel like I know how to do machinery either! I just pulled up a bunch of refs of like... power plants and refinement facilities and tried to make some interesting shapes. It's a lot of crunching your brain on how to segment up a simple shape into something more interesting that seems like it has a purpose.

Oh god.
You kill me.
This is amazing. I really wish I knew how to do machines and mechanical science lab things for my stories. I love how you did monochrome colors on it. It really makes it authentic and fit well.
