So what is the purpose of the machine ?

[Slanderous]

This thread is a proof. A proof that Machine for Pigs was written in a very unclear way, which resulted in everyone barely understanding anything.

I didn't get it as well - but from what I understood, Mandus' evil alter-ego wants to make a new race by combining people with pigs, which is supposed to purge the world from misery. For some reason.

Errr, I haven't heard anything about Mandus trying to combine pigs with humans - he wanted to save the world by sacrifices. The ending explains it well

Edit: oh, yeah. Seems like I forgot about one minor detail - manpigs.
