Currently thinking that the way to advance should be linked to reactivating the factory (since it is a lost tech kinda deal) and that the party end up accidently building the dungeon boss. Other than that, the inspiration well's a little dry so Veeky Forums, I am at your mercy.

The dungeon is actually 2 hole factories, belonging to 2 factions at war with each other. As they restart parts of the factory, the two sides start clashing again with them caught in the middle
Lucas Parker
Why would enemies have a factory near each other?
Charles Diaz
If the building is somewhat automated, you could have there be little escort missions. Pull a lever, the golem torso or whatever is taken down the conveyor belt and worked on by golem-assembly arms... but squatter human(oids) who know what happens if the golem is completed descend shrieking to ruin the process, forcing the PC's to deal with them or start over- possibly having to 'improvise' if they've run out of standard materials.
The noise of a second process that affixes metallic parts draws a hilariously skinny/obese rust monster. Goal is keeping the rust monster away from the process without having it eat all of your junk too.
Path in next room is blocked by a massive pile of bat guano. Tons of sleeping vampire bats will attack if the player's solution to said pile is too noisy.

It was a civil war in their city-state.
Lincoln Rivera
Then why have two factories? Why not just secure the one in the city and be done with it?
Henry Hall
Because it's cool.
Jason Campbell
Just seems like more work to me, the dungeon isn't meant to take up the entire session.
Anthony Ross
Well yeah. You could make them so caught up in hating each other so much that everything else doesn't matter except keeping the factory alive. It could be like an arena.
Parker Thomas
>Like an arena. Meh.
Adrian Hill
So you dont want to see golems crash into eachother over and over while desperately protecting their small but plentiful engineers that keep the battle raging?
Oliver Martinez
>Golem factory dungeon ideas?
If it were me: I'd just make the Golem Factory a Golem that makes more Golems, a Golem assembly line if you will.
Easton Anderson
I'd rather keep an abandoned vibe to the whole thing. Besides NPC combat doesn't interest players.
Jaxon Phillips
True true. I'd enjoy it. Maybe you could mix it up. Vine covered factories that randomly make a golem that slowly crumbles. Every now and then golems attack eachother.
Angel Hughes
Well, I was thinking of having the party find a lone golem arm sticking out of ground somewhere...
Carter Gray
Massive assembly lines with floor escalators, like what you see at airports, everywhere. Only they're not at a sedate 5 mph; they're moving at around the pace of a brisk jog for a normal human. This creates a de facto maze, where everything the players want to get at is guarded by conveyor belts headed the wrong way, that they need to either stop, dodge around, head through (slowly), or redirect.
Along the way, of course, they'll be constantly sniped by enemies with range attacks and ones who can fly or scuttle along the walls or are otherwise unimpeded by the conveyors.
James Collins
Eh. We're two different people with different tastes. Your players would probably love the tense atmosphere. Mine would probably love the heat of ancient battle. Nothing wrong with that.

It's the Internet, it's gotta be full of horrible people.
