Odd Factory

So what's the deal with this thing?

It just seems to eat a Pop every once in awhile.

Nothing good, that's for certain.

I have never ever seen one, but I did find a steam thread on it including an imgur link. It generates like +3 minerals and +3 energy right? But it kills the pop that is assigned to work it and slowly breaks down itself?

The thread I found here shows that when the player dismantled the factory, they had 31 energy production on the tile beneath it. Unsure if this is the same for everyone, maybe drop a save and take a look?

It seems to have many different outcomes. Sometimes I'll get a pop up saying 'nothing crazy happened', meaning it can spawn safe. Other times it noms on Pops.

I've also seen it break down, with pop ups saying to preserve the energy or minerals, which suggested it would add tile modifiers, but the factory was still there, just broken and needed repairs.

I've encountered an odd factory more than a dozen times and it's never done anything to me.

I was wondering what it was supposed to do.
