A Machine World is a planet reshaped into a vast industrial engine. Towering manufactories, automated cities, massive reactors, and endless networks of steel cover its surface. Every continent is engineered for production, with machines extracting resources, forging alloys, and constructing vessels with relentless precision. There is no wilderness—only industry, circuitry, and mechanical order. Then came the Butlerian Jihad. The war against thinking machines tore the planet apart. Orbital bombardments shattered cities, automated armies fought across continents, and entire populations were wiped from existence. Factories burned, reactors failed, and the planetary network collapsed. When the war finally ended, the machines were broken, their creators gone, and the world left to silence. Now, the Machine World is a corpse of its former self. Rusting factories stand beneath cracked skies. Dead assembly lines disappear beneath moss and creeping vines. Broken machines lie half-buried in soil, while forests slowly reclaim abandoned cities and roots split apart roads of steel. Rivers flow through collapsed industrial districts, and wildlife has begun returning to places where machines once ruled. No humans remain. Only the ruins endure, slowly being swallowed by life. What was once a monument to mechanical perfection has become a haunting graveyard of industry—a broken Machine World where nature, patient and relentless, is reclaiming what the machines once took.
