Details
Big red southwest caves are notoriously underwelming and underdeveloped at best. To make it worse, there is a hive spot slapped there, barely even a screen away from LZ2, which results in an extremely short round if marines land LZ2 with a SW caves hivespot
Furthermore, I added a new area, 'Abandoned mining', which is features a small depot, office and aswell as several small mining structures scattered in the area.
Also features a few goodies for survs who dare to venture here. Notable loot is some "mining explosive" (c4), a few guns and molotov cocktails + an m74 with some baton slugs
The entire added areas. Note the unique terrian patterns compared to the rest of the caves in big red.
These are outdated, though the general layout is more or less the same and chokes were widened a bit
Central area and main northern chokepoints
West towards ETA caves.
Mining depot and SW queen spawn area
Story: The colony hired many miners to build it's expansions into the caves. When the Lambda complex was completed, the miners have unionized and negotiated with the colony directors to start mining as a side business.
Some fortunes and minerals were found and those were quickly taken into the colony's vaults. However, their luck has run out as no such mineral deposits could be found anymore. Over time, the mining division dwindled and had its budget cut multiple times. The large mining robots they used to quickly dig out the caves were broken down and without funding, they scrapped it for parts.
Eventually, seeing the mining division as a liability, the administration decided to shut it down all together, ruining the livelihood of the miners and causing a riot
