>>42696892>Case in point, Coalossal goes from a single steam-powered wheel and the recognition that coal might be useful, to a minecart as humans begin mining for metric fuckloads of the stuff, to the looming monster of the modern coal business, where people die in collapsing tunnels that their Chinese bosses can’t be arsed to ensure are safe, and where the resulting smog and pavement creep over the planet and annihilate ecosystems as our roads and cities sprawl out across the earth.Go ahead, anon. Show me where in the games that all of this is spelled out for us. This is an autistic headcanon and nothing more, so I can say with conviction that "It's not that deep".
The only lore given to us is that Rolycoly was first discovered in coal mines, Carkol provides people with coal, and Coalossal acts as a defender of those coal mines. That and their designs are the only info we have to go off of. Absolutely nothing else is explicitly implied, especially not Coalossal being some shitty parallel to the poor working conditions or the degradation of our ecosystem caused by the """"monster""" that is the coal industry".
It's like anon just pulled that out of his ass just so he could convince himself that he cracked the code and had forever "owned" trainfags.
