So, I am weak, and the last time I touched the "Extreme" button, my computer actually started laughing at me (I think it also displayed a "Watch out, we have a badass over here" meme. Is it bad that my computer has learned sarcasm?). Is Extreme mandatory? Is there a category for "runners-up" on a lower difficulty (say, Rough)? Also, do we need to start in Temperate Forest? I went for a Boreal Forest before realizing that might be a problem...



Guns are off the table: I take it you also can't buy prosthesis and plug them in? Not that I have the silver for it, but one of my pawns already lost a leg :-(. Are we limited to peg-legs, or can we buy the Simple legs/arms?



Finally: for some reason, even when I'm using your scenario, electricity itself is still researchable. Is that WAD?



I guess this will be an excuse to "git gud" with my trap-making skills...
