Now you're just twisting things to match the theory. Canon established well enough that RF was the biggest meat factory on Oddworld. There's little room for speculation there. But let's untangle a few things just to be sure.

... Those buildings go on for miles, it easily supports Abe's claim that it's the biggest factory on Oddworld.
Biggest meat processing plant, not biggest factory. It's possible that meat processing plants don't generally get built very large; they would be built, wipe out the local wildlife, then shut down and move elsewhere. It's also likely that the largest meat processing plant would be built out in the middle of nowhere, but close to populations of scrab and paramite.

Frankly, I really doubt Abe's claims about it being the biggest meat processing plant on the planet. Given the size of Oddworld and the poor quality of the communication channels (especially for slaves), how on earth would he know about any factories outside his immediate region, let alone beyond Mudos?

In any case, we have it on Lorne's authority that the Abe games exist in the equivalent of the third world.

I never noticed the rainbow pattern before. That is pretty.
