Description
Mods focused on expanding upon or extending the progression through primitive (medieval and lower) tech levels

A brief explanation is in order, about the purpose of some mods.

Ferny and a bunch of other great modders have been working on a set of 'progression' type mods; which gives more focus to the tribal and wildmen (VFE) starts.
  • Arcane Technology prevents literal cavemen from picking up and using advanced tech without any knowledge (research)
  • Colonist Technology Backgrounds extends this, by requiring said cavemen to first learn about technology before they can research it. (This can be done by having a more advanced pawn in the colony - even temporarily - for them to study. Quests, and mods like Hospitality can be critical here)
  • Progression mods, like Progression Core or Progression Equipment, which patches various mods to better mesh together for this tribal experience; implementing tweaks to balance, weeding out duplicate objects, or even making major changes to better the goal. Various features of higher tech mods may be locked behind research; so your cavemen can't immediately start up a casino out of their cave.

Other mods in this list add to the flavor or experience:
  • A variety of primitive vehicles that go up until early industrial era.
  • Retextures or substitution objects for things like workbenches, tools, furniture etc. to better fit the theme
  • Theme appropriate attire, like tribal wear for children
  • Post-tribal experience mods, (primarily VFE Neolithic and Medieval Overhaul), to add colony activities like beekeeping, brewing, leather tanning and so on. This is to ensure the colony can keep busy, and have a use for a decent number of pawns.
  • Tribal Anomaly interactions; so even at a primitive level, tribal colonies can interact with the latest DLC (i.e. via rituals.)
  • Ignorance is Bliss, which limits the interest of high-tech raiders in a dirt-poor tribal faction. Configuration will be needed to suit story-telling purposes
