Ruins and special tech for Planetary Annihilation

I thought in the PA universe, everyone was dead, their automated weapons endlessly fighting for supremacy even though the creators of those weapons were wiped out.

At least that's the jist of the story i got from the trailer.

My signature is relevant to this conversation. While it focuses on "veterancy" rather than finding new tech, the principle is essentially the same.

An entirely valid possibility. But it's not mutually exclusive with the already got the best stuff concept either.

The creators are almost certainly killed by their own creations. That doesn't exclude the possibility of other random civilizations and ruins. Their tech value is very limited due to the nature of the war, but they're still pretty piles of wreckage worth fighting over.

Quite right, doesn't exclude anything, I was merely confused by this statement:

As there's been no mention of human/semi-human/not-at-all human controllers for the robots of PA.
