Machine shop (Mechanimal)

A machine shop is a term used to describe the mysterious facilities where mechanimals are birthed. 
Machine shops differ from one to another but always feature the core elements of an input and an output system. Typically, mechanimals defeated during courtship duels are inputed into the shop, the winner of the duel has its data collected, which will be used to birth the next generation of mechanimals. 
The output is where the new generation of mechanimals will leave the facility. Once activated, the mechanimal will take its first steps and quickly leave the area. 
Inside the shop, countless drones and magnetic rails carry resources between different parts of the facility. 
== Heart Chamber ==
A giant mechanical heart that pumps energy through veins to the machines of the shop and the excess to locations unknown. At the very back of each facility is the input feed for the power core. The heart is energized by power sources of heteroclite origin, usually parts collected from mechanimals. This room features several control towers and triangular doors opening into machine-manufacturing areas. The core itself is pillar-like and retracts into a hole in the ground once fed a power source, guarded by a dome-shaped energy barrier, itself surrounded by two crane-like structures that protrude from the ceiling. 
== Central Processing Plant ==
Machine shops feature a central processing plant. The processing plant is a collection of recycling rooms where parts are sorted, giant melting pots where machine parts are melted down to be reused, spider like soldering machines to affix pieces together, testing chambers where the new machine is tested and scrapped if necessary. 
== Production ==
Machine shops are usually places for the reproduction of mechanimals, but if no mechanimals come to it, it will start an emergency procedure to restart the mechanical biosphere of its environment. 
Usually the mechanimals produced are quite generic and similar to natural wildlife; horses, hounds, spiders, sauroids, crabs, camels, scarabs, felines, bears, boars, dragons, elephants, and later to simulate other races such as trolls, ogres, anthropoids in general, then more esoteric machines such as ships, military formations, household objects, vehicles and other items.
== Distribution ==
Machine shops can appear anywhere where the dalmer go. This gives credit to the belief that mechanimals are nothing more than rogue Dalmer machines.
On realms tales abound of mysterious machine beasts plaguing civilizations on realms which prompt the Dalmer into action when the definition of Mechanimal swings to accepting the Dalmer as creator of the automatons.
