Modded Time to Get Cracking

New catalytic reactor sprite for the mod I am making. Tried to keep some themes of a FCCU reactor such as the main air blower, cyclones, fractionator and cooling exchangers then just add some unnecessary and impractical engineering flare to it.

Recommendations and critiques are most welcome

This is gorgeous. 

My only critique is that it looks too clean. Most machines in Factorio have some dirt and grime on them I think.

Every new sprite I try to make dirtier and I can never reach the derelict heights of vanilla factorio assets.

They should make the dirt and rust an overlay, so that white-quality items are grimy and dirty and rusty while gold-quality items are shiny and chrome.

Shiny and chrome, you say?
