Monorail System Inside Asteroid

This is a work in progress... (Although I have been messing around with this program, I am actually getting serious about modding and making ships and galaxies... This is my first published work, so bare with me, and please understand... it's UNFINISHED...)

This is but a small project I been working on. When I did a random new galaxy to create, I managed to get an asteroid with an almost perfect hole in the center. When I saw this, I was thinking maybe I could make a kind of monorail for this area. As you will see, it is majorly unfinished, but I am determined to make this work. I have seen a lot of examples of making ships and various additions to stations and what not. This project I am working on, I will be making a Monorail that goes through the whole asteroid. (Hey, what are the odds I get a random asteroid with an almost perfect hole, and a lot of minerals to boot...)

I am also working on a super station that will act as a Mega Carrier as well as a moving station. The station is basically a ship with all the extras of home... (Crew quarters, a docking station, maybe even make a city somehow)

As of now, I doubt I am even 5% done. When I saw the hole in the asteroid, I figure my biggest project will be the Monorail. I am trying out a way that I saw from someone. For the record, this is not a copy/paste. This is my own design. I made this monorail because the one I saw from another workshop was not properly designed too well, although it was working. The issue was the other end was too small for the monorail to land on and could easily crash into it without much effort. This Monorail, I want it to land on both sides so as not to do damage to whole thing. (I am aware of how touchy it can get, so it's not just about making it work, but having the "user" use this carefully without causing too much damage)

The area I am working on also has a stair way leading to the monorail as well as a landing platform for small ships to fly on. Trying to imagine how a work force concept would work with this kind of area I am making.I was also considering making a walking platform for the whole thing as well, and then in certain points, make stair ways go down to the asteroid, or at least close enough to areas that have minerals so you know where to go. The monorail I have made is in progress and will require a lot of work ot make it look good. I do plan to make it dynatic and stylish, but simply making it work is the main project right now. No point in trying to make something look good if it's not going to work to begin with.

THINGS TO ADD...

1.) More lights along the sides so it provides lighting all the way to the other side. I already started a light count, and using that as my demo for the rest of the llighting. When I made the whole thing, the light count actually work out itself, without having to remake the whole system

2.) Platforms that reach areas of the asteroid so you can walk to them without much effort.

3.) Small ships so that you can do some mining on the ceiling so gravity doesn't take away much of the minerals you collect/extract.

Sadly, as you can see I put a lot of time and effort into this, so I hope this is not for nothing. Any suggestions is welcomed. The main project for this is to make a Monorail going through the asteroid as if a kind of mining facility. Want to turn the asteroid into a station with a mining crew and whatnot. Once I can get the monorail working the way it needs to, (Or as close as I can get it to) the rest will be a sinch to complete.

For the record, the asteroid you see is what I got randomly, it has not been messed with or touched in any way. What you see is how it was randomly generated.
