3 Floored Workshop Room

So like many of you, I am bothered by the fact that we have a limit to the number of storage and workshop units we can place in a room. I really don’t want to take up “plot space” and have multiple workshop rooms, so I just decided to make a 3 floored workshop room with all the necessities of two rooms. Like in my previous posts about building a Sewer Layout and Space Station, I want to keep the design simple and tasteful staying with the tech theme throughout.

I will post pictures daily with my progression and ask you guys for criticism as I start building this room. Any ideas or previous work that you have done with workshops would be appreciated! I have been looking through this thread all morning getting some ideas when I was supposed to be on conference calls…ohhh well. So far I am going to use stackers light stairs in conjunction with my glass windows for sure. To be posted soon!!!

More power to you. You've done some fine work in the past, and this thread has inspired me to do something similar in an abandoned factory sort of style, with either two or three floors. Can't wait to see what you come up with

Thanks Obsidius.

Here are the first screens of my idea. The lighting isn’t set yet, but will be a deep blue or purple to enhance the light stairs. The walls were made using the smaller tech storage bins and I used floor lamps to adjust the height for stacking. The lower floor is going to be all salvage storage. I really hope that we can add more then just 30 a bin. I think at one point, salvage bins could house over 999+ units.

The second floor is for inspirations and crafting with IO bins and work tables. The top floor will be empowering stations and creative tech stuff. Maybe I will add lounge chairs with a TV as a hang out spot or something to that effect. Still lots more to do. Hope these arent to big for your screens!

This is really Masterfully built. I find myself VERY envious of your skill.

Good God Man Outstanding!!! i am at a lose for words. Due to all the members of a small sg i am in on Virtue I have a 4 room base with tons of prestage and not very much in it. I often think about building up the base but just dont know where to begin and then I see something like this. Truley amazing

Wow. That is awesome!

What're you using for stairs?

Gret job on the room Turbo. I want to come tour the base when I finally get my new rig.

I was able to finish the lowest level. It has approximately 5 salvage storage bins and a few decorative items. I played around with adding some lights on the floor roof, but to be honest, it was too bulky so I passed by it. I was thinking of adding a computer desk for decoration along the wall or near the rest rooms. Now I can begin work on the middle floor which will house inspiration bins and crafting tables.

Looks great Turbo. More pix plz.

I'm looking at that pic and I'm becoming VERY interested in that Raid Telepad room next to it.

I put in three floors in my workshop yesterday but decided I didn't like the way it had turned out. There wasn't enough space in my design to fit salvage storage between the floor and ceiling without having them clip into the floor or ceiling of another floor. So instead, I removed the third floor and elevated the second floor just enough to fit storage items underneath it.

Because I won't need any desks for a third floor, the second floor will probably be L-shaped or elongated to provide more space. However, it probably won't go wall-to-wall so I can give the room a nice open feeling.

Still a WIP though - I'll post pictures when I'm happy with it, as time allows.

This looks awesome, Turbo. I'm exhausted, base-designing wise, ATM, but damn if your pics don't make me wanna get going again. Love the usage of the large storage container.

Love the job you did on the sewer!

Great start Turbo, your stair layout looks like it will work very well.

Please stop postin ideas Turbo! Im trying to play my alts too for pete's sake. LOL

Freaking awesome , ya got mad skillz playa !!!

This is a joke...I just started construction on my 3 floored Tech control room in my arcane base, accesed by a hole in the wall...and...it looks JUST like this...

I'm a little old fashioned. So mine aren't as pretty as all that, but here are some shots.
I'll post some of the other stacked rooms later.

I love this so far. Can you post some pictures of the third floor? I am eager to see how you topped off the glass panels. Really nice job BTW, best concept I have seen!

You take simple and sleek to a whole new level.
