The Zerg!

Version: 0.6.7 1.6

This is my first mod, trying to recreate Zerglings from Starcraft as interact-able creatures in Rimworld. Its based on a Korean mod that has since disappeared from the workshop since Rimworld 1.8.1 and I have taken out both Zerglings and Hydralisks from it, and updated them to work with Rimworld's 1.0 launch. It is still in testing and might have errors or limited functionality. If you find errors, please send me the information of the error and I will see what I can do to fix it, though I am very busy.

The idea of the mod is to add wild Zerg creatures to the world of Rimworld. They breed like normal animals, and can provide potent allies if you are able to tame and train them.

Zerglings: The common and beloved rushing monsters everyone sees first on the field. They frequent many biomes in groups of 4 to 8, eager to consume the local wildlife. While moderately difficult to tame, these creatures crave a master, and make loyal guard dogs and pets for any rim colony.

Evolved Zerglings: These larger and more aggressive Zerglings come in fewer numbers but make up for it in strength. Notable for their more violet flesh, they frequent the same biomes as their weaker cousins, but are much more rare, and equally more of a challenge to tame.

Zergling Raptors: the weakest of the 3 strains currently implemented, they provide their own unique uses, being incredibly fast, they would serve a colony well for hauling and rescue. As they are less resistant to colder biomes, they are rare in alpine forests and all but non existent in tundra and ice sheets, favoring the hotter climates more.

Hydralisks: These large beasts are highly dangerous, needing more than a few pawns to work together if you hope to take one down with minimal problems. However, they make for fantastic shock troops much like their version in their origin games.

Evolved Hydralisk: These larger, more purple and angrier variants of the Hydralisk are far more deadly and nigh untamable. They fear nothing and will hunt anything they see fit for food, be it rats or pawns. be wary when taking one down as they are nearly twice as strong as their less evolved strain.
