New Tech

"Oh THAT'S what it does...."

- The Last of the Five Engineering Wisdoms

Details
New Tech is the term given to the rare and advanced technology occasionally found in salvage that seems to exceed the known limits of pre-Fall human technology. New Tech is often so powerful, efficient, miniaturised or some combination of those as to render it completely superior to all other Old Tech alternatives.

Unsurprisingly New Tech is extremely valuable, usually ending up hoarded by the nearest bigshot or put to communal in the more generous settlements.
