Shading.  Highlights on the right, shadows on the left - keeping in mind that you're shading basically cylinders.   Give those suckers depth.

I am hoping other players will like this version of the labyrinth bases... My question is, do you like the overall design except for the colors and absence of shading? Do you have any suggestions for improvement? Also, I hope these bases have a darker and more cramped feeling to them compared to my previous versions.

I think I DO like - looks rather industrial, and real.

Good news so far. Tommorrow, I will hopefully be able to finish the intial design of the gaian bases and finally get onto making the perimeter defenses and water versions. If all goes well, I hope to be done in about ~1 month :).

I was fixing an error I made on the gaian structure roots :). Right now I am working on the saucer structures.

Also, in regards to the saucer structures, I think some of them have greenhouses on top because if you look at the high quality diplomacy landscapes in the art gallery, you can see plants growing inside the domes on top of these structures.

Here is  the size 1 gaian base. Are the saucer structures too big?

maybe you should enlarge discs and put them a little out of main structure

Ahhhhhh! I hope I never have to make another gaian saucer once I am done with this base set. Anyways, do you like this version better?

* Random quote

The entire character of a base and its inhabitants can be absorbed in a quick trip to the Rec Commons. The sweaty arenas of Fort Legion, the glittering gambling halls of Morgan Bank, the sunny lovers' trysts in Gaia's High Garden, or the somber reading rooms of U.N. Headquarters. Even the feeding bay at the Hive gives stark insight into the sleeping demons of Yang's communal utopia.
~Commissioner Pravin Lal 'A Social History of Planet'
