On the subject of the base walls looking too shiny or plastic or false...if you compact snow enough, it will turn to ice or become the shiny, plasticky stuff you're seeing on the walls, albeit less plasticky looking. Yes, it's also likely to be due to the restrictions of the time - snow is never the easiest thing to simulate because it is wet, dry, shiny and fake looking all at the same time - but this sort of thing isn't the sort of fix I'd imagine Ady has on his fix list (if it is, then I'll shut up!) but to change the look of the entire base is going to be difficult.

Pre-fab construction is how I'd imagine a small guerilla group creating their base. Dig a hole, drop some container boxes into the ground then cover it with the dirt. This is also witnessed in Terminator 2 when they head to Mexico and also in T3 (I think).

Anyway, back to normal programming....
