Which thus brings us to how annoying some aspects of Mid are. We think that it should be far more alien... but no, not only is it familiar, we can even see mistakes in their design sometimes.

All this can be blamed on something though; they didn't innovate all they had, but they modified what they were given or dug up. I blame the Ancient Belka's Adeptus Mechanicus and their ridiculous hopla, boxy machines and outrageaous engineering to be the predecessor of modern Midchilda machination.

Mid's must've thought that whatever they dug up worked best and simply modified it from there. Look only to their Lost Logia hunting to see that they don't really have to invent but keep rediscovering...
