  instead of --%%%--O--%%%--

the part between % and O could have some extra aligned agridomes

Something like --%%%**O**%%%--

Also, some water-tank(s) could be nearby

What is the diameter of the rotating body ? compare it to the 
triangulated support used to attach the agridomes and to the section of 
the six lines which are making a star around the central axis: if you 
were able to make such big lines inside, why is the outer support meshed 
of thinner diameter ?

Make that central light modular (segments would have to be replaced as 
they get broken): small linear section as pavement on the cylinder. at 
least 6 sections (but more according to the diameter) to cover the round 
perimeter. A small variation of hue and saturation of the white "light" 
colour along the axis might be interesting.
