Miles o' Silos is the first bonus mission for The Docklands. It is unlocked by achieving a Silver medal in the main level, and is a relatively simple challenge. Again, this challenge has no enemies present, but players should still be careful as toxic ink starts to appear halfway through the level.
It is a downhill painting challenge, so there is an aspect of speed involved. Again, players should take that into consideration and, especially for those aiming for silver AND/ OR Gold, can benefit by using their compass to make sure they get everything.

Location[]
The entrance pool is located at the highest point of the map, surrounded by cliffs to the sides, and a fence to the north - with a small section open and a panel hanging off the edges. On this level, there is not much here, except for a tall wall with some pipes and two factories at the top behind some fencing.
Passing the pool in front is two rows of tall Red silos, all with decreasing heights. To the left of each of these silos are a vertical set of three small pipes. Left of this row is three larger pipes next to the cliffs. East of this silos are two rows of short Purple silos. The upper row is placed slightly behind the bottom row and both rows have many pipes connecting one silo to another. These sets of silos also connect to the previous set through more pipes, and the same can be said for the next set of silos. In addition, the lower row of Purple silos has one more silo than the upper row; which is the exactly the same when looking around the corner at the short Blue silos. Once again, more pipes connect between the two sets. The upper row comprises of 2 Purple silos, whilst the lower row includes 3 Blue silos. Behind the short blue silos to the right is two tall silos. To the right of the tall silos are a pair of spiked fences blocking the road leading behind the silos. On the other side of the road are a line of two medium silos with a short silo in front.
There are two tall silos to the right that have tall thin chimneys emitting black smoke into the sky. The road adjacent to the tall silos mentioned are barricaded by a pair of barriers with spikes on top. To the right is a column of small to medium silos up alongside the tall wall. Some small and large pipes can be seen with these silos; along with two more tall silos with chimneys. Past these barricades, the road turns left at the water fountain and continues past a tall blockade of barricades towards a gigantic wall. This section is separated in the north by a reservoir wall. Three tall silos with a small silo sit next to the wall. Behind the taller silos are two tall silos with their foundations submerged under the toxic ink. You can see some barrels and containers floating in the ink.
This next section is filled with ink, with the silos being the only things above the ink. The silos to the right are connected in a line by pipes to the other side. Note the singular tall silo to the right on the pipes near the back. The silos here are arranged in a shape resembling a right - angled triangle. To the left, there are three outlets spewing ink out from the wall. There is a yellow paintbot on top of one of the silos.
After climbing up some pipes and a reservoir wall, there is a red paintbot on a walkway running along the reservoir wall. This section is also acts as a reservoir as there is more ink below. To the left are some tall silos (some with spires) with a large outlet pipe behind them with ink flowing out. The upper platform has a ramp connecting to the lower platform, which is also attached to a wall.
On the opposite side is yet another platform which overlooks the end area and exit pool. There are three silos on the left side edge with tall fences between them and a cliff face north of the pool.
Outside the explorable area is a pen with an INKT Submarine. This area is closed off by tall walls and what looks like a sluice door. Again, some containers can be seen floating in the ink. Behind the walls are two propaganda towers attached to a tall tower.
Strategy[]
Players have 90 seconds (1 minute and 30 seconds) to get a Bronze medal and exit the level. Luckily, this is a linear mission. Ideally, players will find it easier to paint in the following order:
Red (Most) -> Purple -> Blue -> Green -> Yellow -> Orange -> Red (remainder)
Players should be able to use the brake function when traversing areas covered in ink in order to prevent them from falling into the ink and restarting the mission.
