I need screenshots of certain stuff.

So I'm working on a Spiral Knights fangame, and what I'm up to now is spriting & programming structures into the game. I'd really like to base them off the ones in the actual game, but I've got terrible internet monthly bandwidth at the moment so I'm really unable to update and find some for myself (and YouTube videos are still pushing it)
Spiral Spy has done a lot of good for getting things to look as accurate as possible, but it does not show me where things are naturally found, which is a key part in getting an idea of their function and purpose.
I've only got a few screenshots from when I used to play the game, and certainly not of well-decorated areas like Danger Missions because as I play from Australia, (and I missed out on the abundant SoL drops when they were first released) those places were always pretty ludicrous.

So my request for the community is this: Upload a screenshot of any machinery, constructions, etc, (such as storage tanks, that freight train from the.... Collector mission was it?, etc) and perhaps even speculate at its purpose. Meanwhile, I'm going to look at the Scenario Rooms page and see what I can figure out from there.
I'd love to have everything documented, and to figure out how the clockworks "ticks" so to speak.

I saw Autofire's game, but he's programming in a language I'm not experienced in, and I've got a specific direction for my game which I'm not even sure FFL supports. (I have absolutely zero need for a level editor as my game's world both generates and reconfigures itself procedually and in real time)

are you sure you need only machinery? most of it are pretty much the same: clockworks, monitors, those battlepods. etc. if you can post which level you want to get screenshots i can do it tomorrow that if i dont get too hooked with Wakfu (because i once i open spiral knight i get like "meh this is so boring") so maybe a reason why i should log in the game would help me to last more than 5 mins in SK.

If Compound 42 or Ghost in the Machine are on the current list of danger missions, they'd be pretty awesome for screenshots. (I'm not sure if the latter has anything not already in a Power Complex though)
Compounds in general, actually, have a couple interesting setpieces IIRC. Ironclaw Munitions Factory, Operation Crimson Hammer, the Maskeraith Battle Sprite mission (which goes through the Gremlin complex, right?) and the Collector mission are all good candidates. If there's anything worth taking a screenshot in Emberlight, do that too.

Honestly, pretty much anything bigger than a box and that isn't destructible is nice, I'm even studying things like the wall tiles and such. They're all in the files so I can Spiral Spy them, but a lot of them have no context or need to have their textures found and applied so it's often far easier just to see an ingame screenshot of them.

Currently I'm just using 2-minute scribbles in paint of machinery I think the Clockworks would need for functionality. If there's a Clockworks equivalant, I'll change the sprite to that. If there isn't, I'll redo the sprite in the style of similar machines.

Thanks in advance :)

I don't own all of these pics and it's all I have for while. I don't know if they will help you, but they are on the link. Maybe I take some later.

Thanks, a couple of those images are good references or reminded me to look up the following things:
The grave found in Blades of the Fallen
The equipment and props found in The Ready Room/Mission Lobby
The large lichen meteorite
The storage rooms in Deconstruction Zones

Great! I think I can take some time on weekend to take some pics.
And long time no see, Hexzyle.
