After Dark: Confetti Factory

Jun 23, 2026

Can we all just pretend this is that special biodegradable confetti?

This is one of my favorite modules. Why do I like this one so much? Is it all the pretty colors of confetti pouring into the scene? Is it the idea of something industrial being repurposed to be an art installation? Maybe it’s the ducks?

It’s all of those things. This one is so much fun. Bonus fact, you can set this to have no ducks. Doing so will cause a notice at the end of a shift letting you know that the ducks are on strike due to a labor dispute. Meaning on top of everything else, the ducks are unionized! Go ducks!

But I didn’t show that in the video because I want to see (and hear) ducks!

This one features two sliders: one for the number of ducks and one for the work shift duration. The "Ducks" option only has the options of zero or seven, so I'm not sure why that wasn't just a checkbox. Duration lets you pick an increment of time between ten seconds and ten minutes.

The "Type" dropdown lets you pick the material of the scaffolding. It can be wood, metal, or both. Not sure why you wouldn't just pick both.

This module is just a great example of the delightfully strange aspects of these screensavers. Why is this factory/art installation being run by ducks anyway? Because it's fun, that's why.
