I figured it's about time I'd started posting some photos of my builds on here. This thread will be focused on my newest project and future base, which I've chosen to name The Greyhenge.
When the main aboveground structure of the complex is complete, it will consist of one large stone tower in the center, ringed by ten smaller towers. Deep below the ground will be the general bulk of the functional base, with farms, storage and so on. In addition, there will be various caverns and larger open spaces for simulated biomes, gardens and whatever else I feel like building.

These are some older photos from previous stages of the construction on Simplex: Here's the area map after completing construction of the main tower: Here's the completed central tower from various angles: And here's some photos of the construction of the main cavern beneath the central tower:

Okay so it's been a while and I have some updates. Since I last posted I've built 3 more towers and started the foundations of two more. Additionally, the interior design for the 3 storage towers has been finalized. Below ground, the exterior of the central tower's base has finally been decorated. Oh and The Greyhange finally has a base banner, so you'll see those dotted around as decoration throughout the build.

These first two images are a map view and an overview of the base. -To the right side you can see where the remaining 2 storage towers have been constructed and decorated. It is worth note that the interiors of these towers are still empty, aside from the first one which has been partially finished (We'll get to that later). -Toward the bottom-right of both images you can see the Rain Tower, an open-air circle of pillars which allows rain to fall all the way down to y=14, where the tower's base is. This tower will be purely decorative and will contain no upper rooms. Around the base of this tower there will be two floors, most likely containing gardens on the bottom floor and possibly a memorabilia/maps area on the second floor. -Slightly left of bottom-center in the images you can see the start of the foundation work on the Lake Tower. This tower will also be a ring of pillars, similar to the Rain Tower, but with a fewer number of larger pillars (this tower will have 8 pillars with 3x3 footprint each, instead of 12 pillars with 2x2 footprint each). This tower will have waterfalls in all 8 gaps, falling straight down from the lake to y=14. The plans for this tower include a vertical kelp farm and possibly a smelter, but this is subject to change. -To the far left is another gaping hole, representing foundation work on one of the towers there. This set of two towers has no defined purpose yet, so it is likely that after excavation is complete these two towers will be put on hold. -Toward the top of both images, in the mountains are three more rings representing the three general farming towers. These three may contain farms and/or they may act as a nexus for subterranean farms carved into the rock surrounding them (since a lot of farms simply can't be crammed into the narrow profile of the towers). -Lastly, the Central Tower is currently unchanged, but in the future a ground-level entrance and exit will be added.

Here's a better image showing the 3 completed Storage Towers to the left with the Rain Tower in the background.

This image shows the groundwork on the Lake Tower (right). Near the bottom if the image are the bases of the towers that have yet to be given a purpose. The left one has been fully excavated.
