Great...so basically if the Unfallen haven't been changed to Ecologists then the game will launch without a faction based on this ideology.

I don't know why people see Industrialist and Ecologist as completely incompatible. The Automatons blended these two aspects together along with isolationism quite well. 

The Pilgrims are both Religious and Scientific for example. There is no reason to paint them as complete opposites. 

I want to highlight this.  When I'm discussing the Riftborn as Industrial I'm referring to their base ideology, what they develop most keenly, but note that at least the latest few Major Factions have been increasingly politically complex, and I think that's a good thing.  They give you an opposing minority faction, and they offer quests that push you in a variety of directions.  I was following the Sheredyn questline for the UE, and it pushed me in a distinctly militaristic bent.  Are the UE Industrial?  Yes, in the sense that their default stance pushes them in that direction.  Does that mean you cannot play them militarily?  Definitely not.

I have no idea in which directions they'll push the Riftborn, but I'd be disappointed if the only correct way to play them was Industrial (or whatever)
