A detailed 2D side-scrolling steampunk laboratory midground with copper pipes, gears, pressure tanks, and gauges, featuring city silhouettes through arched windows.

Create a seamless horizontally tiling MIDGROUND layer for a 2D side‑scrolling platformer set inside a Victorian steampunk laboratory. IMPORTANT: Do NOT include any background wall, distant silhouettes, or far‑away scenery. The image must ONLY show midground machinery and structures, with a transparent or empty background behind them. Background openings should appear as empty architectural voids intended for transparency, not darkened or shadow-filled. Use a perfectly flat side‑view perspective with no dramatic angles. Fill the layer with medium‑contrast machinery such as boilers, pressure tanks, gears, pistons, pipe networks, gauges, and iron catwalks. These elements should appear closer than the back wall but still behind the gameplay area. Shapes must be clear and readable, with stronger detail than the background layer but not as bold as the foreground. Avoid platforms or objects the player could stand on; this layer is decorative only. Ensure all edges tile seamlessly and avoid any centered compositions that would break repetition. Use a slightly cartoony but detailed steampunk Victorian industrial style with clean silhouettes. See more
