I find Gadgeteer problematic because it is too easy for a clever player to make a TL10 production line in a TL8 world. I have come around to creating a Superscience version of RPM as a substitute for Gadgeteer (using Weird Science in place of Thaumatology), and it works fine. They can produce gadgets to support their friends, but they are incapable of transforming society through mass marketing spaceships.
