Why It's Good For The Game

• since these are secure containment areas, I think it'd make sense if they had blastdoors for the windows. The tesla observation room also has no lighting.
  
  
• these are all active turfs. Use planetary atmos subtypes please. The room also has no lighting.
  
• no lighting in the jani closet or toilet.
  
• there's no lighting in this washroom as well.
  
• the holofields in the subshuttle are not anchored. Use the roundstart subtype.
  
• Exterior windows should have shutters I feel.
  
• same issue with the compound entrance holofields.
  
• the railing overlays on top of the medkits in the subshuttle medbay
  
• missing a wire here between subshuttle holofields and the SMES
  
  
• the compound holofields aren't properly wired either.
  
  • The compound entrance holofields and subshuttle portside holofields share the same IDs.
• the office has no buttons for the door and windows shutters.
  
• the turrets on the subshuttle shoot the frontiersmen simplemobs as they dont have the frontiersmen faction set.
• the turrets wont target heads of staff.
  
• the tapes in here don't play back properly. They start, but never begin playing back the recording.
  
• this should be a proper cycle airlock if you're planning on making the tesla room airless.
  
• the tesla anomaly engine is cool, but doesn't actually generate much in the way of power, and with such a large ruin it tends to burn through all it's stored power fast which is a concern. Maybe put some more SMESes with extra charge, though if you have another solution in mind you want to go with that's fine.
  
• the blood freezer is empty. I notice you set the populate to false, so maybe toss around some empty blood bags to imply they used up the blood so there's a bit more substance too it.
  
• Another empty crate here in the cargo bay. Put something in, or have it start open to imply it's been looted like the other crates.
  
• the desynchronizers are fun and it's nice to see them actually used. I'd say cut down the amount mapped to one or two though.

• You added shutters to the tesla room like I asked in the previous review, but not the static anomaly room. Is that intentional?
  
• You sealed off the room, which does solve the issue of active turfs, but does limit the amount of the ways you can enter the ruin and makes it a lot more linear. I do think it would be more interesting if you had it be open like before but with planetary turfs. There's also still no lights from what I can see.
  
• Shutters and buttons in the office also have the wrong ID.
  
  
• Stray light in the SMES room
  
• Cycle airlock here as I asked for in the previous review unless you have a reason as for otherwise. I'm blind, there is one.
  
• You don't seem to have changed the faction on the turrets on the subshuttle from what I can tell so they're still gonna target the frontiersmen simple mobs around.
• Doing a check on the loot, the amount of frontiersmen that will drop their guns is concerning. I'd say set 4 of the shotgunners, 3 of the mosins, 1 of the SKM guys to neuter so they dont drop guns and the rest can drop their guns. I do get you want it to be a ruin with good loot for the challenge, but this is a lot of guns as is right now.
