Is there a mod that limits items based in your technology level?

[JMSN]

Maybe this would make the game slower but I don’t like that even if my tribe is Neolithic, I can buy an SMG (or any other advanced item) or get one as a gift fairly easy.

Is there a Mod that only allow items based in your technology level?

Thanks!

The best I can think of would be to use a faction editor. Start the world with only tribals, and then add factions of different tech levels as you progress.

Im looking for a mod that resticts the usage of items avobe your technology level, so if im Neolithic, I cant use medieval+ items until I do the respective researchs.

And for raids, maybe something that limit the raids based on tech level, i.e. only neolithic tribes can raid you while your tech is neolithic. And you cant trade or interact with tribes in tech levels above yours.

To be fair, even non-contacted tribes in the amazon rainforest who don't have access to society at large were found to still able to get their hands not only on nike t-shirts but even automatic rifles with which they then proceeded to dominate and completely wipe out their neighbors with whom they had a grudge

You could just press F to forbid the items, since they're taboo or just beyond your comprehension. Probably.

Kinda wish Rimworld had more flavour text though, depending on the scenario or culture / society type you're currently in. Like instead of calling transport pod crashes as what they are, call them fire from the sky or sky people, etc. Causes all high tier technology to turn into unindentified artifacts that can't be used, only traded. You might be trading away a persona core or stack of Glitterworld medicine for a few pieces of meat, because you don't know any better.

It'd truly be hilarious seeing every enemy as someone using a "bellowing firespewer" instead of an actual weapon, especially if you can't tell if they're packing an autopistol or a doomsday anymore. That'd be whack.

Something like that, anyway. Feels like all tribals get is slower tech progression and the ability to properly understand the anima tree. Plus maybe the ability to make war masks and bonsai trees? I dunno.

A tribal storyteller that applies a sprinkle of tribal flavour onto the game when picked, changing things up and renaming things accordingly would be pretty cool.

Thing is, with the rimworld world being how it is with tribals and outlanders living together not to forget the empire if royalty is installed and all the caravans running between these factions. It actually makes sense that the tribals know and have access to industrial weaponry and knowhow at the very least to a level of understanding its principles, uses and values.

As I stated before, even uncontacted tribes have ways of obtaining technology and firearms. Tribals aren't any dumber than other outlanders, they're the same humankind, and once you teach them a concept they're going to be able to know its worth, maybe not exactly as much as an outlander does but close enough.

None of us probably know how a TV works, yet we're all damn sure we don't just want to break one and that we can sell one off if its a good model. Even primitive tribes quickly pick up that these things aren't magical and will understand the value of them even if they have no remote way of reproducing the item.

People who were 'sky people' quickly just become 'guy who flies a flying machine'. And magical viewing box quickly just becomes nothing more how we as a kid understood what 'TV' meant. We didn't need to know how electrical signals worked or how the screen was produced, none of that actually matters. A TV is a TV. A gun is a gun.

Rimedieval limits tech to neolithic and medieval. It also removes mechanoids (optinal) and patches factions and trader to be medieval or neolithic, including modded ones.
