And I just love this, because it would explain why none of the other survivors take their threats seriously. It looks like 14'10'', but is it? As someone who had experience doing technical drawings, this is not how you do them). Then the whole evil robot thing would make more sense, traditionally.Ī more wild theory: judging by the picture we saw of a WX-like robot in Next of Kin, WX was intended to be 14'10'', but they were built 4'10'', either because they were a prototype, or it was a mistake due to the lack of clarity in the drawing (i find the dimensions hard to read. I theorize that they were intended to be mass-produced (going by the still unconfirmed theory that Wagstaff made them as a Voxola product). Robots both strike wonder and fear in the hearts of humans. It serves to better flesh out the existing story of Dont Starve, as well as provide some loot via the Briar Wolves it can spawn. And that poster on her board about "automations" being a government conspiracy. Exclusive to: The Stage is a natural structure generated in the world of Dont Starve Together, added in A Little Drama update. regular people became afraid of machines because they felt that they were becoming like machines.Īs I was reading the wiki article about R.U.R., I was struck by this: "One critic has described Čapek's Robots as epitomizing "the traumatic transformation of modern society by the First World War and the Fordist assembly line."" It made me think of Voxola, how I had also recently learned about Winona probably working as an assembler because WWI was the catalyst for women working in manufacturing. Automation led to these huge factories that had huge machines ran by humans, it was dirty, it was unethical work.
But once the Industrial Revolution hit, people weren't so keen on them anymore. A lot of the automata in the OP were made in a time when people looked at them as mechanical wonders. I think it is important to note that while WX seems to be an automaton, they also embody the concept of "evil" robots. WX does indeed seem to be familiar with the word and uses it often. the word robot comes from a Czech word "robota" which means "a medieval peasant forced to work for a lord". The play is about synthetic, humanoid beings devoid of feelings that were made to serve humanity but who become self-aware and revolt. The word robot was coined in a play called R.U.R., or Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti (Rossum's Universal Robots) in 1920-21.
