I was hoping to play around with the armor pen stat for some weapons I was making. Can anyone provide an example on how to change it? Can't seem to find any

You mean Armor Pen as in Armor Penetration?

Then Look at Rimworld\Mods\Core\Defs\ThingDefs_Misc\Weapons\MeleeNeolithic

The good old Spear has a <armorPenetration>0.50</armorPenetration> allowing it to beat flak or weaker armor.
But if you set the <armorPenetration>0.90</armorPenetration> then it can go against plate armor and marine armor.

Just play it around and set it whatever you want. Setting it something like 2.00 or higher makes it ignore all armor and almost bypass centipede natural armor.

Lower values makes it not that great against armor and leather dusters or jackets might even defect it.
