The location can only be accessed by completing the [[Buried Echoes]] Tale. It is the source of [[Glimmer Fog]] that plagues the Far Territory, <br />
==Overview==<br />
A mountainside entrance near the 6th floor of the [[Concentrator]] is initially locked when playing in Survival Mode, but can be opened as part of Buried Echoes. The [[Mine Gate Key]] to the mountain entrance can be found deeper in Level 3 after progressing through the Tale, and then passing through the mountain. When reaching the room with the device, the survivor will attempt to touch it but pass out, only to reawaken to find it powered at midnight during an [[Aurora]].<br />
<br />
A nearby control room contains several collectibles for the Tale, as well as the [[Foreman's Tool Belt]]. The Machine does not have any amenities inside, such as Beds, Work Benches, or Fireplaces.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The Machine is what caused the mental deterioration of [[The Foreman]], the mine workers, [[The Security Chief]], and [[Dr. Rüdiger]], among others.<br />
**It is also likely what drove [[Trader|Sutherland]] to living onto a boat full-time.<br />
*It is also likely responsible for the mysterious illness in [[Perseverance Mills]] which [[Astrid]] is trying to cure.<br />
