Digging through some of Spacemarine’s Sunless Sea blogs has refreshed my memories on Dawn Machine content.
The Dawn Machine is pretty much made by the London Admiralty, so presumably it’s someone involved in the London Admiralty that first concieved of it.
Now, we know for a fact that Sunless Skies will have a clockwork sun at the heart of Albion (New London), possibly the fellow that deviced the Dawn Machine is also involved in the creation of this artificial star.
Assuming that the Machine itself is not the star.
Which is what I reckon.

Dubitable, it’s implied that the clockwork sun is either not sapient or in some way subservient to Victoria.
Or perhaps it’s the other way around…
Where does this knowledge come from? I have never encountered anything saying that in either Fallen London or Sunless Sea, and I have been searching as well as I could for any content with the Dawn Machine and the New Sequence. I know it is served by a breakaway faction of the Admiralty but where does it say that they made it?
I really hope we get an ES centered more directly around the Dawn Machine and the new Sequence to discover this answer in depth, it is one of my favourite mysteries of the Neath.

I don’t have links to echos of the relevant text at the moment, but the information about the Admiralty constructing the Dawn Machine comes from two sources, both Fate-locked: a conversation with the Wry Functionary, and The Last Dog Society ES.
I’m sorry for jumping topics, but I was wondering something:
Since the Paper door was destroyed, does it still count as one of the Doors of the Bazaar?

Not as much destroyed as blown open, presumably it was resealed at some point after Hallowmas.
It’s hinted at in multiple places in the "Functionary’s Confidant" storyline such as here or here.

I have played both, and while I know that the New Sequence is present I am pretty sure that the Dawn Machine itself is never actually even mentioned, never mind lore about who created it.

That simply goes to show that the new Sequence has its claws in the Admiralty and manipulates them, not that the Admiralty was ever responsible for, or even involved in, the creation of the Dawn Machine.

I see, I did not chose that ending. My mistake. Though that still tells us nothing about who made it.
If memory serves, the identity of the original architect of the Dawn Machine is heavily hinted at in Sunless Sea. At least, that’s what I’ve based my answer on. I’ll have to go play it again to be certain.
My answer for the great game is “Nobody Remembers” (I forget where I saw that)
The Grand Geode which serves the Dawn Machine used to be station 5, an admiralty base. -Sunless Sea
And the Machine was created to bring light to the Neath so it’s probably not a revolutionary

Because snakes look like cucumbers.
I am seriously conflicted between giving creative and funny answers that might be correct vs actual answers that are correct.
Do we still get points for being creative?

No, but whoever reads them will laugh. (Last time FBG also posted a list of the best wrong answers to each question.)
Last time (https://www.failbettergames.com/the-mysteries-answered/) there was one question which nobody got because it was too obscure. So there’s no guarantee that all of them are going to be answerable, even given fate-locked stories and discussion, some of them might take some deduction and leaps of judgement.
Well, the character limit is long… I could just give my funny answer then say jk lol here’s the real one. Or something to that degree.
Is there anything that could even hint at the noman mystery?
I’m not answering ‘Mr Sacks’ because he is clearly a nobat. (If Sacks is the answer I will call my lawyer)
