[My Starship] Something About Buildings

17d
#1
Hello again!

For the past weeks, I started a mini voxel model project of mini voxel building models, which is designed by every faction's style.
Eventually it came to the idea for a different building pool for each civilization.

And I'm also trying to include some of my own original custom civilizations as well, including Atlanian Kingdoms, Rukk Khanate, Tribal Pharans and Pharan Grand House Remnants.

So here it is:

Industry Buildings

Ore Production

Ore Fracking Operation (United Earth / LIS)
Raw mineral extraction technique that have been utilized since the late Old Earth era, using pressurized water to crack ores from mineral veins and rocks.

Insectoid Ore Mine (Zolarg Empire)
Primitive, yet highly productive Insectoid ore mining operation.

Raw Materials Extractor (Alpha Draconians)
Due the loss of expendable Insectoid slaves in the recent decades following the Zolarg uprising, the Reptilian empire has returned using their expensive technologies for mineral extraction more commonly.

Ore Driller (Atlanian Kingdoms)
Cost effective yet durable drill stations used by Atlanians for basic mineral extraction on land and underwater.

Mineral Thumper (Rukk Khanate)
Rukk mining device constructed using prefabricated components. Works in many way similar as ore fracking process, but uses superpressurized air to blast into the rocks.

Magma Separator (Pharan Grand House Remnants)
Antiqued advanced technology widely used during the Second Empire period that extracts, separates and cools magma from deep underground into common minerals.

Ore Mineshaft (Tribal Pharans)

Gold Driller (Atlanian Kingdoms)
Despite a highly mercantile society, Atlanian culture dislike synthesized gold and preferred naturally mined gold over that.

Gold Thumper (Rukk Khanate)
The nomadic Rukks rarely processes any device that can produce gold artificially. They obtain gold primarily from mining outposts.

Alchemy Crucible (Pharan Grand House Remnants)
Losing knowledge of most ancient technologies, even the remnants of Pharan Grand Houses are not capable of construct more of these mass converters, though some managed to reactivate limited capabilities of these devices for gold production.

Rumors saying some master steelsmith clans of Pharan Grand Houses preserved some most advanced metalwork technologies from the Ancient Galactic Empire.

Steel Workshop (Tribal Pharans)
Though the steel tribal Pharans produce are mostly for paying tributes to the Grand Houses, they sometimes do have some surpluses of quality steel for trading.


Microchip Production

Microchip Factory (United Earth / LIS)
A industrial facility that manufactures microchips from gold and other rare metals, which these components are needed for almost any electronic device of the present day.

Circuit Foundry (Zolarg Empire)
The galaxy is still amazed by how the Insectoids managed to handcraft functional microchips with only primitive techniques.

Chip Teleporter (Alpha Draconians)

Electronics Plant (Atlanian Kingdoms)
Manufactures Atlanian microchips that are famed for wide environmental operation range and high reliability.

Circuit Workshop (Rukk Khanate)
Where electronic workers of a Rukk horde learn and work to maintain, repair and create all sorts of electronic components and astronomical computers.

Autocircuit Factory (Pharan Grand House Remnants)
Theoretically this high tech factory is capable of creating ultra-smart microchips that can self-reassemble to adapt to any purpose and device, but Grand Houses never managed to produce any of these ultra-smart chips since long ago.

Electronics Chop Shop (Tribal Pharans)
Scavenged devices are broke down into microchips, for domestic use or trade after these circuit boards have been repaired by skillful hands.

It's somewhat common for Pharan tribes to add raw medicine into their brews that their rum can also double as a type of primitive pharmaceutical for alleviating discomforts of sickness.


Plastic Production

Plastics Factory (United Earth / LIS)
Being the largest user of petroleum-derived plastics of the galaxy, these factories supply fresh plastics for wide variety of purposes.

Polymer Mill (Zolarg Empire)
Zolarg Empire have learned to create petroleum-derived plastics only very recently from humans.

SynthMat Spinner (Alpha Draconians)
Known to be the finest device capable creating strongest synthetic plastic fibers at molecular thickness.

Petrochemical Plant (Atlanian Kingdoms)
