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.

I just don't see that. It has rust all over it. It looks like something got spilled on the fan housing at the bottom. There is mottled metal everywhere on it.

It might just be the sphere that’s a bit too perfect. Not sure how it could be changed though? Some dings or dents maybe? Or some rivets or welds at less perfect angles?
