Who mods games?

I've attempted to ensure that any parts that can't be fabricated on-site can be imported without too much difficulty, but frankly, firearms and ammunition being difficult and complicated to make is kind of necessary for balance.

I would be very careful when equating difficulty to obtain something with balancing it. Especially in a game like DF where difficulty only comes into play once before you set the industry up.

Furthermore, I would like to point out that there are two types of difficulty. Something can be difficult because it is challenging (like setting up a steel industry) or difficult because its frustrating (like having to hunt for the right spot on the map to get a rare stone). Challenging is fun, frustrating is not.
