Silos' Oil Rig (Composition)

Description
After numerous requests I have now released my vanilla Oil Rig as an Arma 3 custom composition. You can now find this under "Industrial" and "Steam subscribed content" in the assets tab and the rig can be placed anywhere you wish. I designed the rig so that the lowest tanks are submerged as this gives a more immersive look from above, (and divers have something to swim around). You may wish to lower the composition into the water once placed.
Features include:
The structure can be accessed from any one of the 4 struts and gives unique bottlenecks at each one.
Multiple office structures and pump areas plus service pipelines to new locations.
HUGE level of verticality with multiple 'decks' and sight lines.
A secret location for SF ops.
A full size helipad and lighting for even the largest of transports.
A sensible amount of lighting to assist immersive night ops, (turn dynamic lights up to ULTRA)
AND FINALLY, I have added 4 changable respawn points that place players onto the four struts. Good for PVP or curated/role play elements.

Obviously AI will struggle to navigate the thing, but the pathing isn't the worst.

Just a quick note: You will need to disable vertical mode and surface snapping to place this correctly in the ocean. There is guide here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2278190892

You may also wish to select the entire composition, then hold ALT and drag it down into the water.

Although I'm not fussed about crediting, I really appreciate seeing videos of operations that use the rig. Please comment below if you use it and how it worked for your group. Please let me know.

I meant me as the player, i figure it out though, i just used a prop that has a ladder and a flat surface

@1peppaspear03 Are you placing them in the editor or Zeus. There is little to no "ground" for the AI to navigate through as the entire rig is made of building assets. The is no way for the AI to Path around the rig.

I don't know what's up with this game but i just can't get characters to walk up the stairs, they're stuck in the swimming animation no matter how high or low the oil rig is, looks cool though, wish the game didnt have dog shit controls

Wonderful composition! Just used it in one of our operations and is also included in a video (last scene). If you're interested, here's the Youtube link:

Hey all, how do you get the composition to all line up? All the individual pieces are all over the place for me.
