i dont play primitive plus,mainly because its broken and bugs wont be fixed.
It takes years to load.

If i wanted somehing wannabe-primitive with slow or limited progress, i would start like this;

- play the Island map or Lost Island(Free dlc)
- Disable engrams for tek stuff and cryofridge/cryopods,
- Disable industrial/advanced structures (ex:indistrial forge, cooker, chemistry bench, grill, fabricator , electrical generator, electrical outlet, gasoline and cables,)
And also hide engrams for any weapon stronger than the crossbow or longneck rifle (sniper, machinegun, shotgun, turrets,etc)

i use this mods to have some variery but nothing overpowered.
