If anyone is puzzled what this is about, Silo is an Apple TV sci-fi show set in a giant underground survival bunker of some kind.
However, the bunker is filled with strange mysteries. The people inside have lost all connection to the world before they entered. They don't know what disaster befell the outside, or why people die immediately if they go through the airlock. They don't know when it will be safe to go outside. They aren't even sure what AD year it is, or how long they've been inside, as the Silo population marks time in "years after the rebellion". And their lives are dominated by weird unexplained rules found in a book called the Pact, rules like it being illegal to create elevators, so they have to schlep up and down 144 levels of a mile deep cylinder via a giant spiral staircase. Other rules include a ban on magnification beyond a certain level, and keeping any objects from the "before times" - which are called relics and destroyed on being discovered.
The show (and book series on which it's based) follows the inhabitants of Silo 18 as they try to figure out the mystery of their own existence.
It's pretty good, probably the first mystery box show I've seen where they actually answer questions at roughly the same rate they raise them. The show is four seasons, all already produced, and no more, so you do have confidence that the show knows where it's going and the story will have a satisfying end.
The website is showing a rough mockup of the silo with the different locations seen in the show, but be warned if you haven't watched it - the website is designed for show viewers and there are spoilers in the text.
"We do not know why we are here. We do not know who built the Silo. We do not know why everything outside the Silo is as it is. We do not know when it will be safe to go outside. We only know that day is not this day."
What's going on in mechanical? Given this is based on the show that's painfully wrong. The generator seems to be in the wrong place AND the drill is upside down and an alien shuttle.
The scale of the silo is pretty cool to see, though.
Yeah, there's a lot here that is inaccurate to both the tv show and the books. There are no walls around the stairs at most levels. It also seems to depict silo 17 as mostly flooded, when it was only the lower 30 floors.
Bottom? Just the fact that there is that first selector button is a huge spoiler. Not to mention the title that briefly appears before fading out. Not going to be more specific than this to not ruin the show for people who haven't seen it yet.

Note this definitely has a big spoiler if you haven’t seen the end of season 1!
I made this!
Displaying spoilers at the bottom of the window is a weird choice.

Looking forward to the series finale this Friday!
Cool but made the wind turbines spin on my IT.
Really well done.
I really wanted to enjoy Silo but it was so slow I gave up when basically nothing had happened for like 4 or five episodes.
The books are really enjoyable. I also gave up on the show due to the pacing but had a great time with the first book.
Nice!
Now we know who built the Silo
