Oh that's lovely, thank you.

I guess now someone needs to list all the buildings that were given spare art that doesn't quite fit but I'll leave that for a better visual person than me ;-)

Buildings without a 3D style image are (might have missed one or two):
- Industrial Center
- Megalith
- Xenoressurection Lab
- Scrying Sphere
- Spatial Distortion Generator
- Gateway to the Void
- Black Hole Collapser
- Hyperspatial Dam
- Interstellar Lighthouse (copy of the Scanning Facility)

There are also some unused resources in the game, that we could probably assign or re-assign (I'm looking at you orbital garden). I'm also fine with the current lighthouse, it looks very lighthouse-y. Also I really dislike most of the old shipyard artwork. The "shield" and "science-institute" buildings are unused and also look nice. Also having the Neutronium Forge and Neutronium Extractor have different graphics would be nice. I can be a bit confusing otherwise.

FWIW, I intensely dislike the current Lighthouse art: I made it, using Paint, by adapting the existing scanning facility art fairly badly. I'd be happy if a similar idea was done by an actually talented artist but two pixel lines and a colour change does not proper art make ;-)

It might could use some touch-up, but I do think that it "resonates" with me when I see that graphic for being a lighthouse. I'd definitely keep the two floating light-sources as that looks really interesting, and the tall tower-like shape, as that's evocative of a lighthouse tower. It might not be the best work, but for a 64x64 graphic it does a good job of conveying the purpose of the structure.
