[1.0] STARSHIPTROOPERS ARACHNID VER5.0



Another fan-service mod based on yet another cult-favorite movie/novel: Starship Troopers!

If you dunno what it is, watch this:

This mod, introduce the main antagonist: the Arachnid, or affectionately known as "Bugs" by the soldiers in the film, into the RimWorld. Now you can build an outpost on this forsaken planet and fight off these vile creatures, just like in the movies!

BACKSTORY:
As the United Citizen Federation expanded its territory across the Galaxy, it came into contact with the Arachnid Species covering an area of it. The Federation initially considered the Arachnids to be a less advanced civilization. However, to avoid conflict, the region of space the Arachnids had colonized was Quarantined to prevent any humans settling within it. Despite this unofficial colonies were created, on Arachnid planets often ending in the Arachnid attacks of these poorly defended colonies leading to massacres.

After 5 consecutive Bug Wars against the Arachnids, the United Citizen Federation remains unable to prevent Arachnids' spread in some parts of the known galaxy. While they were wiped out within the Glitterworlds' systems, the "Bugs" had since expanded their territory into the Rim Worlds, where military operations against them is limited. However this became a huge threat to the new colonies that are currently being built on the Rim Worlds. They may only have just arrived in the Rim Worlds, but they will never stop until they conquer every single planet in the Rim Worlds.

FEATURES:
– 18 different arachnid invasions types that escalates over 3 years (so it wont be game ending before you are ready for them)
– 8 different bugs drawn from the Starship Troopers movie franchise (with 1 from a SST game)

STARSHIP TROOPERS ARACHNIDS VER4.1 HARDCORE ADDON!



A hardcore addon to make bugs attacks more frequent.

In this addition, the Arachnids will be more active in attacking your colony

– Recommended for those players who are looking for a more "Starship Trooper-ish" experience.
– Recommended for those players who are finding the original Arachnid mod not challenging enough.
– Recommended for those players who are really proud of their colony's defense and fortifications.
– Not recommended for noobs.
– Not recommended if you want a more balanced game that blends in well with other mods.

Looks like I will be drawing the MK-55 Rocket Launchers. Definitely going to have the rifle's more powerful than base assault rifle (but still have less accuracy). Twin .50's are going to be a thing. "Outpost" walls I'll have to think how that works. Same with tower.

Either way bugs are going to die!

I uses Embrasures in my testings. they work great and feels like the movie~

But perhaps need to put more than one layer of the embrasures... You definitely wouldnt want them to swamp you...

But what are you doing without embrasures ? :-)
I think when these mass of bugs comes to just a few pawns, they will be dead once the bugs are at mellee range.

Heres a thing the leather from the warrior bugs is worth 18 silver per 1 ,also the items made from them reflect that seems a bit too much of a value.

Got a constructive criticism. Looking at the Tankerbug pawn you have the four front leggs in the abdomen. It should be in the thorax as those legs are it's main locomotive while the abdomen has smaller ones.
Also looking at files I find it interesting you have a brainbug as a building. Things to come?

I dun understand what you mean by the legs should be in the thorax while smaller ones in the abdomen... doesnt make sense to me

For your reference:


My Artwork:



I started off wanting to make these a clone of my smurf mod, but I scrap the idea.

Brain bug may still make a return in the future. Have some ideas in the plans.

Oh almost forgot I've been messing around with this in dev/god mode and found something interesting. Had a few random colonist fight huge swarms in a bunker with the guntower from more vanilla turrets and it got to the point of so many bodies that my pawns could not shoot at the bugs nor the bugs could get to my colonists. It was literally a wall of bodies. Don't know if that was intentional but hell I like it.

Oh mother of god.  I loved the Starship Troopers series.  So, if you kill these guys, can you eat them?  It only seems fair because they can eat you, or tear you to shreds. 
Come on you apes, you want to live forever?!?!?!?! :)
