Please see Manual page 5 on rules and regulations for Ficsit Employees.. Thank you.

I assume it's the opposite of "de-assembly/disassembly", you know, for times when the company isn't too happy about your heavy use of coffee stained breaks and lack of progress...

The assembly of a project.

Theory of mine is you are making another space elevator. The anchor you make in the beginning uses lots of materials but is actually relatively cheap for how large it is, and doesn't account for the massive amount of materials you would need for the cable. Some of the parts obviously look like the cable, for example. Leaks for the next tiers to come out show rockets and project managers made out of computers (I think) so it seems like the company gives you the space elevator cable and everything above the anchor. What you do in return is likely create another setup like the one you received, and as hinted by the parts coming out likely the vessel that will take it to another world as well.

This is my theory though, but it makes sense. Send someone down to a planet, assign them a space elevator, wait for them to crank out another space elevator for the next person going to next planet. Cycle repeats. If a skilled engineer makes enough stuff for multiple space elevators then bonus as far as the company is concerned.

My theory is that you are building a space station that sits at the top of the space elevator. Something that would support mass exportation of all the goods you are making to other worlds and/or be the point colonists would arrive before heading down to the planet. Your official title is "Pioneer" after all.

If it is truly a space station, it would be nice to see our progress. Like the more space elevator and tier projects you complete, the more visible the station will be from below (or at least the bigger it gets). So you can watch it be built. We would see the point of our tireless work with our own eyes.

From looking at the end of the E3 trailer, it looks like some HUGE space station/mothership. So I am guessing, that many pioneers from more than 50 worlds are collecting supplies to make the project.

Affordable Housing Developments in space because space travel is discriminatory.

Or ADA is having you build a giant space robot so she can wage war against her fleshy masters.

[Stamgast]

were building a new home for GLaDOS so she can say once more the cake is a lie

My theory is that the Space Elevator is actually a giant rocket which will move the planet and connect it to other planets, which other Pioneers have also built Space Elevators on, to make some colossal machine which will do something awesome and/or evil and destructive.

All I have to support this theory is that the fourth stage of the Elevator is called "Propulsion" and uses Thermal Propulsion Rockets which have the description "Uses extreme heat to produce the high pressure plasma required to get Project Assembly into motion ", and at the end of the E3 trailer the Space Elevator has what look like giant rockets/thrusters on the bottom.

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

Space elevator is way too thin to move a planet. It would shatter from the stress. Also, gravity; unless ADA is planning to slam two planets into each other, or even small moons, the gravitational disruption caused by two such bodies would be catastrophic for all involved. In short, it would be a waste of resources.

At best, there will be a space station which will serve as a trading post between the various planetary pioneers.

And of course, there's always a Death Star scenario.
