I didn't question this use case, but there are other cases where old hardware is being used with modern kernels. Also for the case of using old hardware with old kernels, it doesn't matter if drivers get removed from the current Linux kernel.

It is changed

Hey everyone! I’m back with more news about my mod, World Rising! I’m currently working on implementing the Yayoi culture, and one of my main goals is to make players truly feel their civilization evolving gradually throughout the match. When you advance from the Jomon to the Yayoi, I currently plan to keep the buildings from the previous culture in your city. This way, progression won’t simply replace everything instantly. The old buildings will remain functional and will even be able to produce units from the previous culture. It will be entirely up to the player to decide when it’s time to destroy them, replace them with new Yayoi buildings, or even keep some of them. I want this transition to make each city tell its own story, mixing old and new elements as the civilization evolves. It’s completely up to the player to decide what to do with their city! The Yayoi buildings are still not all finished. Since this culture represents a more advanced period, I’m adding a lot more detail to the buildings, both in their architecture and in the smaller decorative elements. And personally, I think the results are looking incredible! =D There’s still a lot more to show, and I’ll be bringing you more development updates very soon. For now, enjoy these images! And please leave a comment! I’d really love to know what you think. Opinions, suggestions, criticism, and compliments are always welcome, as all of your feedback helps a lot with the development of World Rising. Thank you so much to everyone who has been following and supporting the project! More World Rising updates coming soon!

Do you mean like you can't use certain structure, until something happens? If that's what you mean, I don't know how to do it... Unless, you could somehow give the player a tech with the script, then you could have that structure require that tech. I don't really know 

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense! I'll be sure to check other scenarios and binaries then.  In addition, I was asking about making changes like structure availability. Is that also something I can edit via Atlas or is that a script thing?  Thanks for the link! I'll be sure to check it out.
