[@BytheSpleen] I understand. There truly is no gearpunk genre here, but I get your point. I think it is time to tell the cataclysm in order to better understand the situation. Most of the water evaporated, but a huge chunk went underground. The planet has huge coverage of clouds, but mostly in early and late hours when it can cool down enough. Rain is fairly common at night (once a week), but in the day it is really rare. The town that are the biggest either have a big waterfall, fountain or a way to suck water up(eg. a pump from the old world) oil and coal are abundant, but they use electrolysis to cteate hydrogen that fill the baloons, rather than using these fuel sources (yes there is small amounts of electricity avaible) I will make a post to explain it the best soon, but thats all you have till I get out of this bloody car
