Where are they getting their tech (nanites, stasis field, etc.)? Don't be surprised if they never plan to answer that question.
I think this is two separate questions.
One answer might be that early travelers set up secret factories, using contemporary technology, that, in a process of bootstrapping, built the tools that can build the gizmos they know how to build, from the future -- like the stasis field we saw in episode 1.10.
However that leave a more difficult question.
The giant space rock that practically wiped out civilization arrived in 2017 or 2018? I suggest that if it was that devastating, it would have put all blue-sky scientific research on a centuries long hiatus. So, even if they are coming from hundreds of years in the future their technology shouldn't be that far beyond the 2017 level.
