So the spires are giant, tube-shaped spaceships covered in earth to protect their exteriors.

Ill have to go looking to find the link, but I believe in a recent interview Jim stated that the different Spires are all different shapes and sizes.  That would still fit pretty well with spires as ships from a last-ditch Earth Evacuation fleet, which would need mass support systems similar to what the spires have.  Good Idea, I like it; simply being another planet with earth colonists would make the Mist and Ether much easier to explain, rather than it developing on a future Earth somehow.

What brought me to that conclusion was the vat grown meat.  We know they can't farm the land, since the ground is repeatedly described as horribly dangerous.  We know they grow meat in vats.  It is likely they grow vegetables in vats as well.  With air ducts and power conduits described, it seemed very spaceship-like to me.

Ya, they mentioned that, Gwen found the idea of plants grown in dirt instead of nice clean hydroponic nutrient vats to be gross.
