Wouldn't it be cool to just expand on the backtracking you can do when you return to Rupture Farms? In the original game, even if you rescue all 28 muds before you escape, there are more of them to rescue if you go back to where you started.
You could put the mudokons there for the first part, without any bird portals around and without hints that they need rescuing. They would just make the factory look alive. Then on the way back, when Abe knows he can save everyone, the player can choose to backtrack to save all the muds he passed earlier. A status board near the Zulag 1 exit could remind the player that there are still muds stationed.
