What are these Machines in this Compound?

[Gun_Anam]

They're definitely power stations of some sort. The green smoke is the same kind that comes from the garlean airships (see R46 storyline quest for clear view of it). As far as we know, only the garleans know how to use this kind of technology, so one is left to assume that this is a garlean outpost.

There just more of the good stuff we are blocked off from! :/

Yep like I said earlier it really gets me down when I go exploring now and come across things like this which we are blocked off from or don't have access to ; ;

That place IS called Cerilium fields on the map

Seems they are indeed Cerulium factories of some sorts. Gridania refused to use it to light there city lamps because it is "Devoid" of elementals. Considering that everything has elementals in it Cerulium is indeed a strange substance.

they're blocked off because they dont do anything nore even properly implemented. They're just normal objects like the Christmas trees and you end up walking through them.

I'm sure they'll get their use and no doubt be something to do with the Garlean.
