Question about disabling engrams

["Hard Tack" Tom]

So me and a few friends were wanting to host an exploration/treasure hunting based server on Abberation where only low level engrams are learnable (like only stone tools and thatch buildings) - and you have to unlock all higher tier saddles/tools etc through loot drops and dungeon loot.

so my question to you guys is, what are some ways to achieve this style of gameplay? mods are fair game as long its not going to alter the game entirely

ideas ive thought of that wont work:
1. disabling engram in main menu tab removes all BP's from beacons/loot crates as well
2. I've already thought of reducing engram points drasically but then you still can spam mindwipe tonics and learn all the high level engrams with little effort.
3. I've also checked out the admin commands and found there IS a game.ini command (EngramClassName) that i can use to raise the level requirement past lvl 100 effectively disabling. But it's only for a single engram, and im trying to remove ~650 engrams and i dont have 12 hours to spend coding in game.ini :( if theres a way to do multiple engrams at one time i'd be really grateful

edit/solution: disable mindwipe tonic using command below, and use command "OverridePlayerLevelEngramPoints=32" for lvl on and 0 EP for every other level. result is starting game with 32 EP, enough for stone tools, mortar, narcotics, and thatch buildings

Only other option i can think of is to alter the crafting requirements.

There is no silver bullet command afaik.

haha sure laddy

and honestly i just wish someone could make a mod or show me how to make a mod that removes the mindwipe tonic, that would fix everything since i could just give everyone like 50 ep

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RespecSoup_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemConsumable_RespecSoup_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)

Now 1x mindwipe costs 1x mindwipe.... ie: uncraftable.

[Vesuvius]

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_RespecSoup_C",EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=40,EngramLevelRequirement=50,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)

Should hide it.

I use this method to counter bautolearnengrams ... as that seems to ignore hidden engram lines

[Vesuvius]

If you end up hiding engrams but still want to use auto learn... this mod does the same thing but does not ignore hidden engram commands

well im gonna go test it out! to be clear i add in this to the game.ini

ConfigOverrideItemCraftingCosts=(ItemClassString="PrimalItemConsumable_RespecSoup_C",BaseCraftingResourceRequirements=((ResourceItemTypeString="PrimalItemConsumable_RespecSoup_C",BaseResourceRequirement=1.0,bCraftingRequireExactResourceType=false)

and

OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_RespecSoup_C",EngramHidden=True,EngramPointsCost=40,EngramLevelRequirement=50,RemoveEngramPreReq=False)


and mindwipe tonic is essentially removed from the game?
