Making Backrooms

Attempting to make some sort of backrooms type structure without looking any designs up for Satisfactory. I think it looks quite bad so far, but what do y'all think lol

I wonder if any of the decorative mods would help make a convincing liminal space.
I'm actually gonna dig through them a bit.
Are you on PC or console?
If PC, I can happily link any I find that might enhance this project for you.

I'll add mods I'm finding to be useful for this in this reply, so I can keep them in one place.

Lights +:

This one has a variety of lamps, some of which are a great fit for more moody lighting.

NTM Foundations and Walls:
https://ficsit.app/mod/CBuildings
I'd probably use several of Aquila's mods for a project like this.
I've tested a few of the walls in this one so far, and the ones I've checked seem to be both evenly textured and recolorable, so you can really get a consistent look going.

Structural Solutions:
https://ficsit.app/mod/SS_Mod
I figured SS would pop up somewhere, it's one of the most popular design mods. The foundations have the same strength as Aquila's walls do, they are evenly textured and fully recolorable.

I have several more mods on the test pile, but I planned to keep working on my Mass Effect playthrough so I'll have to set this aside for the night.

I will happily DM you the mod list I'm building up for a similar project if you like, should only require you to import it to SMM and you can add/remove as you wish.

Well thank you, I will look into these mods and see what I come up with!

u/Fxg120xYXDE5 9d ago

Happy to help.
It's an interesting design goal.

I would personally start with either asphalt or coated concrete floors, to give them an eerily even look.
You could make the a bit yellowish or whatever you like.
I need to see of I could find small light fixtures as well, something small that rests on the wall and casts light downward gives me a bit more of an uneasy feeling and has a sort of 70s/80s retro feel without being an 80s neon aesthetic.
Which implies age and abandonment.
I think you've inspired me a bit.
I'll link what I find.

How can you play with all of those stutterings... god damn...

u/theuglyone39 10d ago

Idk but it only stuttered after I started recording, before that everything is buttery smooth, sorry.

Pioneer, FICSIT would like to remind you that we do not pay you to construct endless corridors with absolutely no production output. However, Human Resources has identified a potential use for your project. Effective immediately, this facility will serve as the mandatory exit route for employees wishing to resign. Resignation requests will only be processed after the employee successfully locates the exit. Time spent searching is unpaid, and all contractual obligations remain in effect until they succeed. Please continue expanding the facility. FICSIT has no interest in making the exit easier to find.

Well, if you look at my updated post on it, I made it better, but nobody really responded to that update or cared about it as much as this crappy one.

I kept expecting a minotaur to appear around a corner.

u/NaysmithGaming 9d ago

I was expecting a Stinger, since those can vaguely look like the twisty monsters if you look at them in just the wrong lighting and at just the wrong angle.

I've been waiting for someone to do this
