Description
This mod has been reworked and is no longer supported! You may want to use Start Without Techs instead.

A new player faction with no techs and low technology level.

  • no starting researches
  • your starting tech level is primitive
  • in general very hard

Works well with Tech Advancing.


HOW TO USE
Option 1: Get my scenario
Option 2: Edit your scenario and change the faction from "Tribe" or "Colony" to "Primitives"


INCOMPATIBILITIES
  • Royality DLC: Static Empire Goodwill at -100
  • Ideology DLC: Memes cause starting researches done


Enjoy!

This mod is no longer supported as Start Without Techs does exactly the same but is customizable as it has mod options and has better integration with other mods, i.e. it works with all player factions.

It seems to be incompatible with version 1.4 at present. It throws off a few error messages at startup.

Thanks! I actually stumbled across that one already and have added it to my list!

@//SlipperyPete:. Nope, but the remake mod Start Without Techs does contain settings for that.

Does this allow you to keep the starting tech from Memes? Basically I want to only start with the fungal gravel tech from Tunneller Meme (which is unique to that meme).

@⎛⎝ AlilSneezyPanda ⎠⎞ Update is out, I hope it works now, though, I cannot test it by myself.

Thanks! This is exactly the kind of playthrough I wanted--No researched tech as if starting like cavemen. I'm just surprised that such an option is not even in the game.

Thank you for your time, it's very much appreciated. :winter2019happyyul:

Yeah, Ideology has come up with a new way (memes) through which you can get starting researches. Will fix this hopefully tomorrow. Should work with the reworked version of this mod though. Link is in the description above.

I'm also still having an issue with getting these no tech mods to work.
I've completely uninstalled all mods and loaded just this one and I'm still getting a lot of research slipping through. Thinking spot has disappeared.
