Quote from Fernando on Dec 17th, 2016, 11:47pm:A Technopath would cause a lot of problems because a lot of tech would have been restored. For a "Mutant" to have this kind of Power, he would have to have the same power and ability as the X-Men's Magneto.
I can see the Spirits being able to do this, Texas Spirits or otherwise. A town like Lab Town would have their Spirits to do this for them. Not normal people or mutants. At beast they can do is exchange parts/chips to get a system going. Mind you, many computer systems and parts have been buried in landfills, and when found and dug up, they will worked. 10,000 Apple Lisa were found in this condition, though a few CRT Tubes had to be replaced, and Atari's 5-million ET Game Cartridges, after 30+ years of being buried, they still worked!
but a Technopath would bring a lot of trouble, because a lot of teach can be brought back, including airplanes. As is I'm planning on having a few towns with gliders but that is as far as I'm going to push the tech, but a Technopath would be able to bring back a 747. This brings more problems than it solves.
Level also comes into play. This is what "The Setting and Rules" says about Levels.
Quote from Jeanette on Jan 26th, 2015, 8:59pm:Mutant powers come in three levels. Basic [Level 1] gives you no or little control over your power, very little effect and range. Advanced [Level 2] is the next level, your power actually helps you sometimes. At Expert [Level 3] it becomes an integral part of your life. Be warned, non player characters can have Above-Expert [Level 4].
Kana, introduced in the opening story, is a Level 2 Technopath. She can only fix simple machines like mechanical clocks and watches.
MOST Texas Spirits are Level 4 Technopaths. Not all Spirits are Technopaths. Of the six groups I have introduced or created (one is more of a loose affiliation), only the Texas Spirits and the Japanese group they're related to are Technopaths. If you want the Spirits in the lab to be Technopaths, that's up to you.
Correction. A Level 4 Technopath can fix a 747.
I gave the Texas Spirits as a whole Level 4 Technopathy because they are environmentalists. What would be a greater power than that for those who recycle? People would not buy new cars because old cars would be in show room condition forever.
The further south the party travels, they will see cars a hundred years old or older in the same condition they were in when rolling of the assembly line. The mobile device and tablet computer Moro uses have also been around for a long time.
