[MOD](Alpha 9) Genetically-Engineered Creatures (v1.1.0)

[SlimeCrusher]

Genetically-Engineered Creatures

v1.0.0

Introduction
The first time i saw the description of the megascarab, it described how they were made to combat mechanoids, and how they were found without its "deadlier cousins".
That's what i'm offering, 5 new creatures, all genetically engineered, specifically for fighting mechanoid invasions. The creatures are: the Hazardant, has a strong armor, is fast and is hard to hit, but it delivers low damage, the Longworm, a weak and slow worm with big mandibles that spits a stream of acid, the Pincercrab, a small crab with very sharp pincers and a tough caparace, the Gigascarab (actually its a stag beetle), sporting huge mandibles and a really tough shell, these are the megascarab warriors, and last but not least, the Berserker, a huge genetically modified human, has super-human strenght and is much more deadlier. It is also really tough.

Notes
The only pawn with a custom body type is the Hazardant, i already made the longworm and pincercrab bodies, but for some strange bug, they die with a single hit, so i didn't include them, they use a placeholder "BeetleLike" body though.
If you find any important bug, tell me so i can fix it, i hadn't had time to play this on a colony, just tested via dev menu, so i appreciate any feedback on how this mod performs. Please note that these creatures will attack only from day 45.

Oh here we go with the Gigascarab. Next we'll find the Terascarab, Petascarab, Zetascarab...when will it end?!

Otherwise, looks like a cool mod.

I may combine this mod with the flamethrower mod.  You know, so I can actually "kill it with fire."  I'm kind of freaking out right now.

Great mod.

[Epyk]

Awesome!

Can never have enough non-human factions.

There should be a mod for that, adds the Scarab, KiloScarab, MegaScarab, GigaScarab, TerraScarab, PetaScarab, ExaScarab, ZetaScarab, YottaScarab...Or maybe drop the last few, prolly be a lil OP.

I actually thought about the word "Giant", but "Giantscarab" doesn't really fit well. I don't want to be mean, but if you have a better name suggestion, i would really want to see it!

Sadly, I don't. The more I think about it the more it sounded like "Scary Arab" in my head.

Wait, so are these randomly spawned or migrate to your colony? Or do you release in a pod near a ship part to kill off the mechanoids. If they do randomly spawn, then you should be able to capture them and  put them into a pod launcher(or something else), then right as a ship part lands, you will be able to launch them at the mechanoids or oncoming pirate invaders. Probably sounds a little OP but maybe you can make the minimum of creatures in the pod like 2-3... Also, you should have a holding pin, sort of like a prison, to hold the creatures in, so you can either release them when pirates are invading.

Wow i didn't think of that one, great idea! 
The pawns themselves spawn as a faction (a nearby sector), but because of tough they are, there is a big change of incapacitating one, so maybe you could capture it...
But the only problem is that my coding skills are XML-only, i know very basic stuff about c# but yea, just extremely basic stuff (what booleans are, etc... No coding skills) 

nope...nope nope nope

What? You can't believe this mod exists, or you don't like the mod? Or you were doing the exact same mod and i released mine first?   

[r3dp]

It's all good!! Good luck! I also like your Half-Rim 1 mod.
