I don't really see how it could have been a "plot hole". Since a lot of planning and effort goes into every individual screen, it would have to have been an extremely intentional plot hole.


Wait, did I miss something? He was suggesting that Monsaic Lines is in fact far from RuptureFarms. Not so much suggesting as outright stating. But yes, I got the same impression that Abe was teleported. The map also confirms that Monsaic Lines is a respectable distance. Paramonia is even closer.
The way I interpreted his post was that he was saying that the Stockyards are a long and difficult level in order to express the distance travelled between Rupturefarms proper and the Monsaic Lines.


Whilst we're actually in agreement on the broader point, the map is the last place we should look for canonical information. Oddworld isn't even a water planet.
