The MIC-583 mobile industrial complex
A self-sufficient, self-propelled industrial park, turning asteroids into spacecraft!
Nicknamed "Mick", this 583-meter-long powerhouse is basically a flying island of heavy industry, featuring:
ON SUPERSTRUCTURE:
ON SUNKEN SURFACE:
WITHIN HULL:
BELOW HULL:
Mineral and ice dump
Ore refinery
ON SUNKEN SURFACE:
Fuel plant
Metal foundry
Component factory
Nuclear reactor
Central tower housing the core room and bridge
WITHIN HULL:
4 large hangars for miners / freighters
4 small hangars for utility craft / defense ships
2 engine rooms
2 shield generator rooms
Extensive living and work areas with discoverable secrets, FIND ALL SIX HIDING ROBOTS!
BELOW HULL:
Large, functional shipyard (max fitting vessel size: 351L x 111W x 84H)
Total size: 583L x 421W x 235H (588 long with front turret barrels)
Power: 21mill e/s
Shields: 60mill capacity, 590K net recharge
Chamber effects: enhanced shields, jumpdrive, top speed and turn rate

I've put a lot of effort into making everything seem to flow around realistically. The details tell two storylines. One is about rocket fuel:
The second story is about ship components:
- mining ships dump asteroid ice into the collector atop the ore refinery
- where a drone melts it (animated)
- then liquid water flows into the ore refinery, from where it's pumped to the fuel plant
- within the fuel plant, a big pool contains the water while it's separated into gaseous O2 and H2
- the oxygen and hydrogen get compressed, cooled and liquefied
- then pumped outside, into appropriately labeled storage tanks
- and from the tanks to the engine rooms, hangars and shipyard (actually traceable pipelines!)
The second story is about ship components:
- conveyor belts can be seen moving stuff from the mineral dumps into the ore refinery
- dedicated machines sort out each starmade ore and shard, plus sand (used for glass production)
- nine snaking pipes lead the ore refinery's granulate outputs to the metal foundry
- where a series of conveyor belt steps transform pure metals and carbon into workable alloys
- chunks of alloy are carried by trucks to the component factory
- where cutting/welding/handling robotic arms put materials together into functional parts
- finally, the ship components descend on a cargo elevator to a small hangar, from where utility craft can either build them into a vessel in the shipyard, or send them further down to a freighter hangar (outbound flights could ship out the excesses to be sold elsewhere)
TOO MUCH TO SHOW IN SCREENSHOTS, BEST TO EXPLORE IT INGAME!
