I’m speculating that given the title, it stands to reason that it’s possible that we’ll have both systems. The RNG and the crafting. I wonder if the crafted weapons, while weaker will be more focused on build synergy and the salvaged weapons will be more focused on raw output?
I donno. I saw buildings and white particles falling from the sky with white drifts on the buildings and sidewalks. So, take that as you will. I imagine even desert planets can have frozen poles. idk much about atoma. But I think perhaps we’re in the Atoman equivalent of the sahara?
My speculation would be a dead zone the mechanicus doesn’t have machine access too, requiring us to manually enter to restore/recover the machine spirit.
Previous lore on cosmetics have talked about how there has been conflict with tbe Moebian 6th off planet, on orbiting rocks (you don’t call it an asteroid if it’s in stationary orbit right?) and maybe a/the moon, not sure about that part.
However based on the snow and it being in the “void” I would assume it is either on such a base, or at the least is in high orbit on one of the poles.
I assumed this was a foundry in the Witherlands, and the falling particulate was like, industrial ash that’s still falling from when it was active prior to Atoma’s environmental collapse. I like your theory that it’s on one of Atoma’s satellites a lot better though, makes more sense considering Hadron’s use of the word “void”.
