Factory

The Factory is a city-sized industrial area on Orates right next to Delaro City. Construction began in -997855, with heavy assistance from the easy-to-use nanobots. It came online in -997854, producing a wide variety of chemicals, metals, concrete, plastics, fuel, and other resources to rebuild Delaro City. Some considered it overkill, and when the Delarosians collapsed in -997849 to -997847, it continued to run automatically. However no items had been selected to be produced, so the computer controlling it defaulted to an old setting programmed in originally as a joke, which was to mass produce useless toxic waste for absolutely no reason. From -997848 onward the structure pumped out millions of liters of toxic waste, creating a small lake around it. The lake flowed out through a river and toxic-fall to the edge of the chunk of rock the Factory set on, emptying into the void.

In -997847 as debris from the Sphere collision rained down across the chunk of Orates, the Factory was destroyed. Hours later meteorites pierced its nuclear core and the whole thing went into meltdown, exploding in a small nuclear explosion. This force was enough to break the floating island in half, and set most of it ablaze, including the ruins of Delaro City, the Dead Swamps, and part of the Plains. The fallout from the explosion covered the island, and even fell onto the ruins of the Sphere below the island.
