I'd like to point out the whole 'timeframe' thing is more of a rule of thumb than a law here. We definitely won't add guns, but it's not simply for the reason that "It's not in the timeframe." Survival 303 doesn't actually have a defined timeframe. Most people simply assume the game is set in a medieval era because we have castles, armor, swords etc.

The real rule to follow is this: If one were to drop an average person off on an uncharted island without any tools or resources that aren't native to the island, would they be able to craft what's being suggested?

We push the limits quite often with a lot of things (huge ships, quarries, etc), but they fit enough within the realm of the game that we overlook it.

Keep in mind that's not the only reason we don't add stuff, but it's a good starting point when you're thinking about making a suggestion.
