AsteroidStation, a slightly larger alternative to Box

This concept was originally inspired as an alternative to box and icemoon that provided more to do while still on the station z level, with the idea that this is a hidden station within an asteroid belt nearby lavaland. When I saw kilo was doing something similar I started taking inspiration from that as well.

Asteroid Station is roughly the size of box, and is made with a population of 25-80 in mind. The mining areas and hidden ruins therein should provide extra space and activities in higher pops, while not causing the station to feel too large or empty on the lower end.

The station consists of 1 large asteroid containing the main station, 2 medium sized asteroids containing the AI satellite and a bunker of russians hired by the syndicate to spy on the station, and 3 small asteroids, one of which contains a random maint ruin. The right side of the station, with the bottom right in particular, is meant to have a unfinished feel as if construction was started but never finished, with maintenance tunnels that are longer and more winding, a few dead ends, and boarded off maint rooms leading to the mining area. The mining area also contains a few hidden ruins that can be discovered in a round.

The station is built around the research department at the center, with engineering in the bottom right, medbay below research, charge to the bottom left, command to the left, service across the station above research, bisected by a hall leading to security above that. The AI satellite is relatively far from the station, with the two main access points being teleport pads from the bridge and from the RD's office, with an addition access point being catwalks from engineering to connect power and atmos. The station only has 3 solar array compared to box's 4, with one of them being extra large to compensate.

TODO:

• Disposals
• Light switches, fire alarms, extinguishers, air alarms
• AI holopads
• Cameras
• Double check all doors have correct access and names
• Signage, paintings, posters
• Test power and atmos to check for misplaced/missing connections
• Add more windows decorations to hallways to make them feel less empty
• Firelocks
• Intercomms
• Bounty boards, newscasters, & requests consoles
