Right, then... [Nier: Automata/Copied Factory] [Spoilers]

[TheMightyMollusk]

This factory is just there, nobody really cares that seemingly there are human looking androids running around.

Nobody being the whole three people (Anogg, Konogg, and the WoL) who know about it and are shown to be rather concerned about the situation. Maybe four if the dig site chief is involved, I forget. (We could argue about 23 other people being involved, those being the other people in the raid party, but there's another thread for that.) The existence of the Copied Factory and all that it entails is not public knowledge.

I don't feel we have enough information yet to know how, or if, this fits into established lore. But I'm also still working my way through Automata (albeit having large parts of the plot spoiled, thanks to jerks deliberately yapping about it during the raid), so I dunno.

I really hope we get more information there. The best imo would just be if it disappears at the end (into another dimension or something) because if it stays then this could influence the first. (Different technology and stuff like that) I am just a bit sad that we seemingly dont get any information at all and have to wait for later..They could have at least used the data logs a bit better but as far as I understood it, they are fanservice pure for Nier fans. (At least I did not understand a single bit of it)

(There is also a part of me that wonders how some would have reacted if it was a different franchise that got a whole raid to it)
