You can build there giant area with main labs and generator of "endless energy". And this area, independently of its size, can be places in such small location.
And its entrance is its exit.
That's exactly the idea i have of it. Except that time can run at a different speed than outside. In fact I still have the prototype metric i made in paint some time ago:

if it works, we could even use it in a 3D rendering program to recreate how it would look like in reality :P

EDIT: from your drawing, ρ will be more or less 1 or 2 meters, right? R can be like 1 km to make space for everything inside.

Anyone has more ideas about the room layout?

3d-rendered time-distorting spatial loops? I'm all for it, as long as it's not too time-consuming.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, if the old boss had been an octahedron, which they weren't.

So now that we have a rough map of the base, we can start giving descriptions of each room.

One important thing: if the pocket universe is going to be a 3-sphere like in my prototype, remember that if you want to draw any maps of the inside, the rooms on the side will be smaller than they appear in the map (like the Antarctica in the Earth maps).

You can also make a polar projection (like this but in 3D), it will be easier IMO.

Sorry, I don't understand.

With "sides" I meant the sides of the map you draw.

I think a polar map will be easier (look at the link above). Note how the Anctarctica appears very big in that map compared to the other continents, the same will happen to the rooms in the map that are far from the warp point.

I can do an example map if you want.

EDIT:

here's an example

Image

the 5 rooms are the same size, but Room 5 looks much bigger in the map than in reality. It's one of the bad things about having curved spacetime, it's more difficult to make maps of it.

EDIT2: but we don't need to worry about that now anyways, it's just a minor thing. The priority now is to start making the room descriptions.
