Splinters! The largest factory on Mudos? I thought it was Rupture Farms.

I keep hearing Splinters was the largest factory around. I thought Rupture Farms was. Splinters is much smaller than Rupture Farms. Its tiny compared to Rupture Farms. Why would they say it is the largest factory around when we all know that Rupture Farms is the largest? Maybe because it is no longer in use.

Splinterz was going to be bigger but they didn't have enough time on their hands to finish it off...

Anyway if Splinters is smaller, maybe it is because Rupture Farms is not running, so it could be meant as the largest Running factory on Mudos. Or not. Either one

I never heard Splinterz was the largest Factory on Mudos (and I can assure you that it isn't), I always heard that it was the largest producer of toothpicks and various other wooden products, prehaps they ment that Splinterz was the largest deforestation plant on Mudos?

They said Splinterz was one of the biggest factory in mudos...

Oddworld.com
:
The granddaddy of them all, Splinterz is one of the largest factories on the continent of Mudos and thanks to a comprehensive clear-cutting deforestation program initiated by its founders, it's the largest producer of pure wood toothpicks.
hmmmm, okay you are right... RuptureFarms can be bigger

Well Oddsville did have a good point there. He said it is the largest toothpick factory around. Maybe thats the reason.

Fools. Its saying that Splinterz is the largest factory on MUDOS and thus Rupture farms isn't. The last part is basically saying that it produces more toothpicks than any other Splinterz factory...

Maybe they were talking about a different Splinterz factory on Mudos and not the one we saw in MO.

Splinterz is the largest factory that has been presented so far. In MO they sized it down (like they did with many of the structures)for some reason I don't know. If you look at the production art picture of Splinterz that is in the FSK, you can see that it is indeed much bigger then seen in the game. I do know for a fact that it is bigger then rupture farms, there's just no good structural references to make out just how big it is in that pic.

maybe if you count all the structures you see in the levels you do to reach slinterz with te factory, then yeah, it is pretty huge

and yes Splinterz is much bigger in the production art

PA if you really were 20 yrs old you would actually realise that factories that produce meat and factories that produce toothpicks are different things altogther.

Xavier yes...and? What i meant to say is you lot were saying how Rupture Farms was the biggest, but Splinterz is.

Well Jacob if you stop rambling on about my age and how stupid you see me to be. You will see that I am right about Rupture Farms being the biggest because of fact from AO. I know that the two factories are different. You know Jacob if you don't like my seemingly pointless and stupid views as you see them to be, then don't post in my topics! Ya know? I am not saying your better or wiser than me or greater! You have every right to say what you want about me and I have every right to not listen or have nothing to do with you! You see? We all have are rights don't we?

I don't want to add to the furore about Splinterz but I thought that possibly it meant that the Splinterz company is the biggest on Mudos, thus the individual factory is not the biggest but if you add all the splinterz together in the world they are the biggest group of factories on Mudos.

that was a bit of a run-on sentence, I know.

ps this was only an idea. Don't attack me if you disagree with me

maybe there are a lot of them and Splinterz is a big organisation.

Is that what your talking about!? I thought you were on about that real big one were Abe throws that Slig into the meat thingy and he gets chopped up. Anybody in their right mind can see that this thing is tiny and RF is obviously bigger...!!

No Jacob you had the right idea of what this topic was about, but Xavier was just justifying Nates post earlier. As for Splinterz well, I know for a fact that it is not the biggest factory on Mudos (we will see that in games to come.) but it might be one of the biggest...
