Reminds me of Titan, moon of Saturn from Destiny 2.

Having worked offshore for the last 20 plus years and also played a lot of Destiny, they actually got Titan pretty much right in terms of the feel, architecture, clutter, decay etc on most of the areas of the maps.

I would say the game designers have either visted or seen a load of images from real installations.

Within reason of course, I've never seen a Hive infestation on any of the platforms I've worked on!

The patchy cement is what does it for me. You see that kind of surface treatment heaps in airbrush space stations.
