[1.0] StarshipTroopers Arachnid Ver5.0 - THE BUGS ARE BACK!!!

[asquirrel]

I wish the bugs would show up during a Borg raid and they fought each other.  That Federation mod is another thorn in my side with the Borgs.  But I can't uninstall it because I'm hoping an away team will show up at my base. That would be freaking cool.

Usually it doesnt because Rimworld's events/incidents happens one by one.

Hardly do they come "together"....

I'm no coder but it might be possible.  Ever have a raid and then you get the "reinforcements" dialogue?  You could have  a bug raid followed by borgs showing up as "reinforcements?"  Let the bugbath begin.

there is also the dev mode. I've tested bugs vs colonists/borg/smurfs/minions just about anything.

First bugs raid... they opted for a path straight through a 20-strong giant spider lair. A whole lot of 2 bugs made it to my base.

Now you can write the storyboard for a new movie:

I think they have a new giant bug in this movie.

I may add it into the mod once more information is available.

VER 3.0 DEVELOPER'S NOTE
This is 3.0 is a massive massive update to the Arachnid mod. Altogether, the update literally make the mod 3 times bigger than it was in 2.2. Huge addition includes 4 new bugs (Plasma Grenadier Bug, Scorpion Bug, FireFly Bug, Bombardier Bug), from the 3rd Starship Troopers movie (SST Marauder) and the 4th movie (3D animation; SST Invasion) as well as from a SST game (FireFly Bug). In addition, I added custom dessicated graphics for all the bugs for a more immersive play.

The most significant of the new bugs, is the Scorpion Bug. Scorpion Bugs is the siege machine of the Arachnids, and it primary purpose is to deconstruct walls of well fortified colonies that had been sheltering the players from virtually every raiding threats in all of Rimworld universe. Scorpion Bugs are the heaviest armored unit in the Arachnids military and any breach of the defense will allow the rampaging Arachnid army to pour through the hole created by the Scorpion.

Huge changes are also made to the Tanker Bug and the Plasma Bug. Tanker Bug now have a new flame throwing weapon, which mimics the movie closer, that causes massive fire every time goes into battle. Tanker Bug's armor and health is also revamped in concurrent with the addition of the Scorpion Bug, to make them very resilient against firearms, but not against other type of attacks. Plasma Bug also had its weapon totally modified, now able to fire over walls and mountains, with its range double; but accuracy is made terrible. However Plasma Bug's health is greatly reduced, to make it more fragile like it seemed in the movie; its melee attack is also nerfed to ensure game balance as well as lore-accuracy.

With new bugs comes new tactics and strategy by the Arachnids to bring hell to your colony. As a result, the number of incidents expanded from 6 in 2.2, to 18 in 3.0. Existing 6 incidents are also revamped and renamed accordingly to the rest of the added incidents. The incidents will gradually escalate in complexity/difficulty and you will only likely to meet the ultimate invasion (All Out Assault) after 3 years, so there is plenty of opportunity to learn and survive.

The most distinct of the new incidents, is the Arachnid Infestation, where the bugs starts to conquer land on your map. Over time the hive will expand underground and add more "hive holes" for bugs to pour out of. A fully matured Arachnid hive will be extremely difficult to take out, so you are advised to take them out early before they becomes your permanent neighbor.

All the bugs had strength and weaknesses and its up to you to find out how to defeat them. DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE? Join my discord channel.

Holy shit.  Look at all those bugs.  I'm scared.


Question: Does the escalation process take into account what kind of colony the player has?  In other words, does it follow the same schedule for a tribal colony game?

[Kalre]

How long till bugs start attacking ?

[SpaceDorf]

I have never seen a mod so full of bugs 

[tonsrd]

that's a scary amount of bugs.
