(OBSOLETE) Glass Hydroponics Pyramid

A Simple, yet elegant (in my opinion) glass pyramid that is more sturdy than actual glass. The pyramid is somewhat all-purpose, with growing plots along either side of the walkways for ease of access. That being said, this is not a farm, although there are enough plots to where it can be used for self-sustaining farming purposes.

The pyramid has a number of smaller structures within, each of which has their own function, such as the oxygen station, the armory, the fuel depot, a dining area with an atm (because why not), a medical area, a small living area in a back building, a cargo area, and a cold storage/repository area for the plants. The structure is of course airtight.

The structure is made out of combat steel, and armored window blocks, however this is not a fortress. It has four minigun turrets (two on each side) mainly for the purposes of killing off predators, and a single plasma turret at the tip of the pyramid, just in case something nasty does come your way. However, being that this is a glass pyramid (even if it is armored glass) if even one panel gets destroyed, the structure will rapidly decompress. This is not a combat structure. I recommend using this in tandem with other defensive structures, such as perimiter defense towers.

Other things you may want to know, the entire structure is mounted on struts to help with uneven terrain, that being said, you will probably still need to do a little digging around the edges of the structure. Also the combined solar power during high noon is nearly four times the consumption. This was tested on akua in survival mode. Conditions may vary.

So why is there a fuel depot if this thing is solar powered? Just in case. Plop down a generator in case of emergency, also I didn't have anything else to put in this building. Why is there a reception area, living area, and dining area, even though they serve no practical purpose. I felt like it. They look nice. Truth be told, I wanted to make a glass dome, but I don't think that's possible, yet, so I made a pyramid instead.

Also to get rid of the advanced resource requirements, just remove the plasma cannon, and replace it with whatever. Also, the interior solar panels may not function, so if you want more plots, delete them and place in some farming plots.

I will update this when the Devs set the current limitations on solar panels (15) back to twenty.
