Hive – Hydroponics RE2
Link to the Original HIVE from ENTE
Normally, there’s nothing to criticize about the incredible original version of the ship, and I personally thank ENTE for this creation. However, I still needed/wanted to adapt the ship to my personal needs.
The modification & changes
I really wanted to use the ship in single-player mode, but the hangar and landing pads were too large for my needs. Therefore, I decided to replace the lower hangar with a useful, large hydroponics laboratory.
I meticulously adhered to ENTE’s fantastic blockwork so as not to ruin the Hive’s architectural style.
Unfortunately, this forced me to adjust the texture layout in the upper interior hangar.
I also tweaked the lighting and some other textures in the living quarters slightly, just slightly, as it was a bit too bright and too white for my taste in places. Specifically, I gave some white furniture and furnishings a darker tone.
I’ve added upgrade markers, modeled after the original, to clearly show the options.
It has space for 9 hydroponic bays and 72 hydroponic units, or you can use just hydroponic units as you wish. Everything is fully customizable. All plant lights are individually controllable.
With this growing capacity, an endless supply of HIVE Canteen specialties like Jeff’s Cake, Dark Action, Quantum Steak Extender, Boar with Mint Sauce, and No Man’s Sausage and everything else, is guaranteed and always available! Unless the chef is unavailable, of course.
