Remove guns but keep everything else?

[Tone-DEAF]

I want to know if there is a way, base game or modded, where I can remove guns, but not be stuck in medieval times. Like Dune, where there's forcefields and space travel but everyone fights hand-to-hand or with bladed weapons

There are probably alternatives, but this should give you fine control over what is kept/removed in your playthrough: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2633276599

Guns exist in the Dune universe, they're just less prevalent due to shield belts hard-countering them. The Bene Tleilaxu use them I believe.

The fremon also use them because when a laser hits a shield, it makes a nuclear explosion. And nobody typically uses shields on arrakus itself because if you do sand worms go in a killing frenzy.

What would your story excuse for why guns don't exist? Did Dr Hateguns make a machine that remotely kills anyone that picks up a gun?

The government declared the planet a gun free zone, therefore they ceased to exist for one was simply not able to bring them in or recreate them. Common sense gun laws

I haven't read Dune in years, but I'm pretty sure the fremen use dart pistols and not conventional guns.

You can remove all factions at startup and then add only primitive factions. That would stop the AI from having guns. The only way to get guns at that point would be to research and craft them yourself which nobody would force you to do

Maula pistols. And yes, they shot poisoned darts.
