"Mass production" in Fenspace
 
#3
Mass production in Fenspace resembles, on some levels, the efforts of the 'dane Make community, with homebrew CNC machines and cobbled together 3D printers, combined with Handwavium to enable them to handle materials that even professional equipment has trouble handling. On other levels, it resembles the factory line of the "Model T", or of an aircraft factory turning out ten aircraft over the course of a year. The biggest operations resemble modern assembly lines, only with tighter tolerances than can be managed by a 'dane factory at the speed they work, robot systems actually capable of handling one-off errors without merely yanking the piece with the error, and human intervention when the product needs to be "doped" with Handwavium for a final result.
