Trivia

 * The original name for this zone was "Neon Propaganda".
 * This and The Cosmos are the only worlds in LBP2 that are not named after their creator curators.
 * Clive and this theme reappear in LittleBigPlanet 3: The Journey Home and a new type of Sackbot is seen. The Bomb-Bot.
 * In the level Pipe Dreams, Clive states that the huge red fist has "been in the factory before my time." However, in Maximum Security, Clive states that he had built the factory "from the ground up." This could be a developer oversight. However, Clive may have built the factory around the fist.
 * In the Level Pipe Dreams, if you put the middle finger up for the red hand I sign will come and say "DENIED".
 * The economic system in place used to be neo-capitalism as Clive says in an earlier version of the game. In the game you can see lots of communist symbolism which indicates that the sackbots seized the means of production in a worker uprising.
 * The Factory has a gift shop
 * In LittleBigPlanet Karting, any object, sticker, decoration or material from this theme doesn't call it 'The Factory of a Better Tomorrow' but rather 'The Factory'.
 * The same goes for The Journey Home's version of The Factory of a Better Tomorrow's background.
 * The robots at the factory are most likely overworked.
