What is your best colony?

I think it would be interesting if people posted pictures of their colony's on here. So we can all see and learn different ways to build colonies.

I'm not at my computer at the moment so I can't post mine just yet.

This is Up-to-daterton!



These are few days old, it's expanded a bit since then
It had just been under siege by mechanoids from the ship part crash
and hostile tribals, while having visiting tribals going mad cause of the psychic wave =P

This is the entrance



Here's the crazed up visitors after deciding to go further in my colony and kill half my prisoners on their way (I got tons more from the assaulting tribals, thank god)



And here's my kitchen!

Camp Bastion as it stands currently. Growing fields cultivate yellow, green and red herbs though currently the red zone grows yellow and vice versa, need to fix that. Purple zone is the beacon. Red to the left of that is cotton. Some spawned-in agave for medicinal use as I can't grow it. Blue rooms are colony related with a tiny medical room and spacious rooms for all colonists plus spare rooms for growth. Red room is the prison room, with 8 small gun turrets in there in case of insanity problems. A green room in the wooden building is power, this base is powered entirely on potatoes. The geothermal and solar are now unneeded but the trader that buys and sells their parts doesn't come by too often, so they stay built. A bunker in the north with turrets for defense plus another bunker at the end of a living sector with a single turret. Other defensive measures are 12 mortars which have been made redundant by the presence of the missile launcher nearby. 4 drilling machines excavate gems, metals and rocks. Gems can be sold, metal and rock broken down into useful equipment. There's a vending machine inside the kitchen/food storage which colonists can use to buy pizza but I have to tell them to interact with it, so it's no good for just turning silver into food. The mess of colour where Beatrice and Norris are is the hydroponics. Apparently those hydroponics modules can be walked on, which lead to me filling the room with them. Two sun lamps keep that room in perpetual daylight to grow berries and potatoes. That's Camp Bastion.

I do wish to rebuild it, something more like a town, but I don't have the artistic mind, patience for colonists to build, nor do I particularly wish to tear it all down because tiling will be left everywhere.
