New ceiling and floors, new wall trim, new pipe skins, new pipe models on the walls. The previous pipe models were 2 models to each side, making 4 models total. The new ones are one to each side, effectively cutting entity usage and allowing for a larger level. Some unpictured changes are crates, which when stacked in groups of three or more took up unneccesary data space. I now have several variations of stacks as well as the single crate, which will also make room for larger levels because of less entity data used.
Ive been really going at these lab levels and picking apart all of the flaws I could find, both in optimisation as well as general aesthetics and gameplay flow. So far, I have cut the entity data down from just over 80% used (you get a warning saying 'very full' in the compile log) to just under 45%. This will allow me to essentially double the level's size and play time!
