Figuring out what Nexus Jovia's actual structure looks like. I was trying to keep to it structurally balanced and feasible while also having undergone naturalistic expansion from a small work outpost to a large city.
A brief history of the expansions:
- Original station: Some guys are here to mine hydrogen.
- Expansion 1: Ok we are becoming a pitstop for Stuff going in between the outer and inner solar system. Get bigger.
- Expansion 2: We need more staff! And the old staff are having kids?? More farms! More housing!
- Expansion 3: Oh shit we are running out of housing in 2. Convert farms in 2 to houses, build a couple auxiliary farms.
- Expansion 4: Population keeps going up. Ok, the Martian overlords will budget you 2 large cylinders. How generous. Surely you will not need to invest in more infrastructure any time soon, it's not like this is a CITY city, you are still a Martian mining outpost, wait WW3 is happening.
- Expansion 5: We are independent now, and also the capital of a small polity. Ok, major investment: 6 micrograv farms, 5 large cylinders. More emphasis on parks and beautiful living spaces. (Garriton district is part of this expansion)
- Expansion 6: More people having kids and moving here for work. Add some spheres.
- Expansion 7: Um, there's aliens. And a wormhole?? We are now the hub to the rest of the galaxy, and need agricultural accommodations for people from a different biosphere. Two huge hoop-ring farms, 7 massive cylinder structures.
