Mobile Planetary Base - Ark of Glass

Description
This magnificent ship represents a shining example of the finest work our engineers can produce. Once you've seen the view of the skies from the deck of Ark of Glass, you'll never want to touch the ground again. Since this is a dedicated full-time airship, you won't have to.
Mr. Tyler and all of us at ST Enterprises would like to personally thank Captain Jack for his review of our work.

--Nearly 60 batteries, combined with the large solar arrays at the stern of the ship, will ensure you've got enough power to stay in the air indefinitely.
--Four large reactors near the center of the ship can give extra power when you're running production. That way, you won't need to worry about your thrusters losing power.
--Three large cargo carriers
--Two refineries and two assemblers, arranged in such a way that expansion modules can be installed without altering the layout of the ship or piping.
--Over a hundred gyroscopes gives suberb maneuverability.
--One pilot and two gunners can be seated on the bridge, and the remaining crew can wander the observation walkway above.
--Two hydrogen tanks installed to refuel your small ships.
--16 oxygen tanks can keep you breathing between ice pickups.
--Eight charging/ refueling ports for your aircraft or shuttles on the flight deck.
--If the sun's down and you find yourself lacking in uranium fuel, hit the "Power Saver" button on the captain's console.
--The medical bay near the stern makes this a survival-ready spawn point.
--Eight engineers can be carried at once in the cryo pods.
--The entire body is sealed against the outside world. An aft elevator can take you from the flight deck to the airlocks.
--Walkways along the bottom, allowing a stunning view of the world below.

NOTE: There is currently an error in the arrangement of the elevator pistons, which will cause them to violently explode when used. I have fixed the blueprint, but am unable to upload the corrected design at the moment due to issues with Steam.
NOTE NOTE: I've uploaded the latest version, with new walkways and piston fix. Thanks for your patience, subscribers!

I am trying to build this as a blueprint from a projector, and I'm getting an error that "multiple grids are not supported, only the largest grid will be used. Do you have a suggestion on how to get around this issue?

@just: There's one inside the elevator shaft to keep it from wobbling. :)

@just: It's not meant to land, so it has none. :)

Wow. Amazing build. I just finished it now, but the Game doesn't load the 2 parts in the front of the ship on top of the rotors. Could you explain what it is?

Wow. I need to stop building in survival, this definitely blows my glass spawn ship out of the water. Great work!
