DM-UnderWash, Underway

I've finally gotten back to building this puppy. For the most part, the layout IS done, there may be a few necessary lifts to be put in, but for the most part, I'm relatively satisfied with how it's worked. I feel that there could be improvements to the path weighting system to improve flow. I am considering moving one of the more powerful weapons to the upper deck while altering the position of several other goodies...

Lighting is gonna be a pain in the neck though...
So far, I've completed the mine lifts that run through the center, the observatory deck, and the mess hall. If a player is unable to get off the lift on time, they will be crushed by the containment fields above. The containment fields have a hydrophobic property, preventing the sea-water from rushing in and flooding the submarine platform. This also prevents anything with any water content in its body from using this exit.

All rides to and from the submarine mining platform are accomplished by submersible shuttles. The processing facility above the surface is linked by a particle rail to other facilities.
