Tech Progression

As red51 knows from me saying so, I think Rising World is perhaps the best game of this type so nothing I'm about to say is a criticism of it. Survival games like RW often move too quickly in tech progress. Is it really realistic to have hydraulic drills or gas-powered motorboats in a world that does not have the manufacturing infrastructure to warrant that progression? I get it, a very primitive world could be boring or painstakingly slow to progress. Green Hell comes to mind. It is overly complex. I wonder if in the future, there could be version that is more realistic. The reality is, most firearms in this world would be little more than a hollowed-out tube working on the same principles as a musket or cannon. Boats would most likely not have the metal riveting and certainly not many of the materials available in the current game.

We're soon going to have automobiles and trains using fuel sources like oil, gas, and coal. Those resources wouldn't be easily accessible in RW. I guess someone might say, "Rod, if you want to play like that, get your own server". LOL yep that's an option and I've had my own server. I suppose I'm asking for a more realistic progression of tech before RW becomes like an ARK survival shooter game with lasers and transporters. Oh well.
