How do you feel about the use of guns in this setting?

We know how to make them and they're useful, mainline production.
- 4 (33.3%)
They seem out of place and run rather counter to a fantasy setting, avoid them.
- 2 (16.7%)
Get outta here, nerd, nobody finds guns that interesting.
- 1 (8.3%)
Go ahead and have the NPCs make em, but not worth player input.
- 1 (8.3%)
Support, but they shouldn't be the standard weapons.

You likely won't have nearly that level of capability, if nothing else than because a massive industrial base takes time you don't have to set up, but yes. Think Schizo Tech, what with electricity and repeating guns mixed into a medieval setting.

It'd be easier to just use stronger materials to begin with.

Especially since aluminum takes fucktons of electricity to refine.

It's so difficult to refine without fucktons of electricity that aluminum shit was worth several times more than gold stuff.

Exactly. It basically just needs a very high energy refinery process, one way or another, but electricity lets you refine it using a dammed river, rather than a whole bunch of crazy furnace stuff and lots and lots and lots of fuel.

We need to dig down to the magma sea and exploit that enrage source.

Magma isn't nearly hot enough for high energy metal refinery. You could build a bigass geothermal plant.

Hey, so long as we don't have an army of pissed-off dwarves at the gates, I'm fine with whatever they want to use this place for. I'd rather not die, but that might not be an option.

You'll probably have to deal with a few armies of pissed off dwarves, the question is who they're mad at.

As long as they're not angry at us, they can be angry and at the gates. Just don't come attack me. I'd rather be left alone, without being attacked by a bunch of crazy dwarves clad in steel armor and armed with their choice of weapon.

They've got numbers. Lots of numbers. We'd probably still get overwhelmed.
