So I was doing some rereading for fanfic reasons and I noted we do have some pics of Mechanicsburg back in Faustus time, before he went on his shopping spree for people.
and:
Bigger than I expected for what wasn’t considered a town, but maybe that was more just terminology rather than actuality. Then again several hundred years is going to lead to population growth no matter what
Ooh, interesting.
…Bigger than I expected for something on the banks of a river that only just stopped being poisonous.
Honestly I’m just remembering the random Mechanicsburger’s “we can throw entire buildings at invaders!” comment and I’m pretty sure they considered the mutant jäger river a bonus. All you have to do is throw an enemy into it, and you’d get either a hilarious death to witness or an awesome enemy to fight.
