The name of the district is derived from “Rabotnik Gorod” or “Workers’ City”. When the Beanstalk construction project began, there was a need for housing, and several homing units were installed in short order. This coincided with the collapse of the Russian Federation and some parts of the European Union at the time, which brought in a great influx of workers and immigrants to the district. Initially, Rabotgorod was supposed to be a short-term solution but the immigrants remained after the work was completed and since then the district had stagnated in quality.
A change came to the residents of Rabotgorod when bioroids and clones were introduced into the labour market, taking up several jobs that used to belong to the labourers that called the district home. Large swathes of the city were taken up by cramped clone housing, called “clone-tels”, as well as hibernation pods that kept bioroids that weren’t in use. The older lived-in infrastructure here has not fared well with time, often found to be in various states of disrepair as they were designed to be temporary housing solutions. The newer developments are often stark and plain, built only for the function of housing androids. Today, it is known as “Robot City”.
Chone, The Blocs and "Stalingrad" are found here.
Talentala, A Simulation of Artificial Neurons
Situated in one of the few affluent neighbourhoods of Rabotogorod, Talentala began as a small arts and crafts shop that suffered an accident when a self-driving truck crashed into the storefront. Bioroid labour was sent to repair the destroyed portion of the shop but curiously, they began to return to practice art by painting abstract designs on the wall and creating other artistic pieces. The local humans find this rather curious, especially given the general opinions of the public regarding bioroid true sentience. Now it serves as a gallery that specializes in bioroid art created by the creative algorithms in their programming.
Workers’ Wall
The infamous Workers’ Wall is found in the outward-facing wall of an old factory. While it doesn’t look impressive at first glance, many old residents of the Robot City recall it as the site of a past worker's protest and the violent suppression led by the corporations that followed. The wall is littered with tell-tale bullet holes and forcible damage made by sledgehammers. At the present, it serves as a place for workers to pick up labour opportunities and other odd jobs. It has also been a place where recruits look to provide under-the-table gigs.
Safepod 54A
Clone-tels provide a means for clones to rest and sleep in between their long shifts, especially for those who cannot reside where they work. They offer a cheap alternative for their respective owner and clients, a means for Jinteki to offset the overhead costs that add up over time compared to the Bioroid creations from their competitors. They are found in great abundance around the city and many of them are found in Rabotgorod. Safepod 54A is unmistakable in its appearance, having a white plastic and metal exterior. The interior furniture adopts a plain white and blue pattern. However, for whatever reason, this pod is especially popular with clones and has a long waiting list for residence. The only notable difference found in this clone-tel seems to be its rather peaceful and serene ambiance made possible by the clones in residence, despite its great lack of space.
HE-11
Hosting Establishment Eleven is a bar known by some of the locals and its regulars as merely 'Hell". Despite the intimidating name, the bar itself is very mundane with a sombre lit decor. The bar only serves drinks and cocktails made its exclusive blend of alcohol manufactured by the corporation that owns the bar chain. Located a few blocks from the main street, the bar is rarely busy and makes it a place for people to gather if they are looking for privacy or just a low-key setting for conversation. There have been rumours the establishment serves as a front for money laundering but despite its suspected activities, the bar remains open to this day
