I reply here beacuse I am on my phone and it's more simple to reply on the deviation than on the other comments.

Unus solum is a hard (its always a spectrum with these things, suffice to say we lean more on the cience fiction than the science fantasy) science fiction, so tecnology would behave more like it does here where the new takes over the old. In some areas the supercontinent is more advanced than our world and in others it is less so. A lot of the flavour comes from cultural developments and societal structure. Rather than build something and stick it somewhere we start from the determing factors (geography history, etc) and then imagine what would emerge. It's not as hard as I make it sound tho.

Ok, so back to the image. The idea of external trusters is one I can get behind in sone context that requires aditional manuverabilty of the craft. Minor nitpick (tho its fixed in the smaller drawing) is that the center of mass should be somewhere in the middle of the trusters as otherwise they cannot provide torque in all directions.
Petrol is the main fuel for most aplications and internal combution replaces steam power quite easely, I don't see why they'd have a steam wrench when they could build an electric one at current tech level. Perhaps you're thinking of a pneumatic or hydrolic(sorry if I misspelt it) one although that does not appear to have moving parts that require powering.
Diesel carabine? While tecnically not impossible, there is really no reason for it given gunpowder already exists and has a higher energy dencity. To incorporate petrol to a weapon I could imagine some flamethrower attachment. This makes me think of a core of engineers or cientists who'se rifles are also multitools. or a very sadistic army that constantly needs to incinerate things.

At the moment there are several factions, but the problem is that there are not a stylistic direction for the project. It's time to develop some ideas and concepts about factions, cultures, peoples, technologies and bla bla...(etc..). We would do a constructive brainstorming...
