    Guns? Actually just throwing rocks at high speed.

    Nuclear bomb? Throwing a special, spicy rock.

    It really is just rock chucking all the way down, projectile combat completely broke the meta

      it is similar to how any kind of widely used power plant is basically just a steam machine. the difference is how we create the heat, but no matter if we burn coal or split atom there, it is still just a steam machine. if we some day finally manage to get fusion reactors to work, it will still be just a steam machine.

        Some of the new fusion startups are looking into aneutronic fusion, in which most of the energy output is directly captured as electricity. They will be using steam-driven generators to take advantage of the waste heat but they will be a secondary component.
