Straying Away from Machinery

Will: OE was one of the first areas I worked on when I was brought onto the team.

Will: Of course, this means it is also the area with the most reworks and changes!

Will: Originally Sunken Pier was only half the size it was, before you reached the expanse itself.

Will: The expanse was also much darker, with a shaded-like underground, and even the idea of a red lizard den hidden in the region!

Will: The restriction of having almost no machinery was pretty hard to follow at first. Andrew eventually
offered a compromise that some of the underground could have pipes and machines, and any surface
machinery needs to have been put there much later, or is a fallen piece of the railway above!

Will: I think this region might have one of the best introductions in the mod. Reaching the first screen
of Outer Expanse after resting in the ancient shelter is something not many players will forget!
