Eternal Engine/Playing With
Basic Trope: A factory that fills up a large area such as a city or even a planet.
- Straight: A factory fills up an entire city.
- Exaggerated: The entire universe is just one big factory.
- Downplayed: The factory only fills up a small building.
- Justified: The city is the center of industry for the country or state it is in.
- Inverted: A factory has a small town in it.
- Subverted: The machinery is just a landmark.
- Double Subverted: Other buildings are also filled with machinery.
- Parodied: The city is called “Factory City”.
- Zig Zagged: Various areas have large machines while others don’t.
- Averted: Any machinery is only confined to places where it would reasonably go.
- Enforced: The work is Steampunk and the creators want a huge factory.
- Lampshaded: “That machine must use A LOT of energy!”
- Invoked: A company decides a city is the perfect place for manufacturing and builds a factory there.
- Exploited: Many people use the machinery to do things they’d rather not do by hand.
- Defied: The mayor prevents any construction of industrial machinery in the city.
- Discussed: “That is a lot of machinery there!”
- Conversed: “Why do these shows seem to have huge machines like that?”
- Deconstructed: Nobody wants to live in the city due to all of the noise, pollution, and heat from the machinery.
- Reconstructed: People get used to all of the noisy machinery.
- Played For Laughs: The machines are producing funny things such as banana peels.
- Played For Drama: The city becomes a dangerous place to live in and the setting of a huge battle.
