1.5

1.4 when

So with the launch of the smurf mod, I gonna divert my resources and time on other stuffs and my professional work until funding raising targets are met.

I will also create rimworld related youtube content - probably a lot to do with the mods I created on my walkingproblem studio youtube channel. (please subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgUW0Ls2wbY8h79pV9xnMjw )

Subscriber Targets
~ 100 to allow me to have a custom youtube channel ID
~ 1000 to allow me to monetise the youtube channel.

My aim is 1000 subscribers, so that my content will allow me to earn advertising dollars - which in term will allow me to spend more time on modding.This is actually the best thing to help me help you get more of my mods updated and created!

@TNDKing - The bugs are "animals". They do not follow the humanoid system.

Not sure if its compatible with better infestation - but most like it won't - as I recoded the entire hive mechanics.

Hey m8 do the bugs follow a humanoid system or an insect system? If insect can they appear as hive and furthermore would it be compatible with better infestations to make it where they will form larger hives and go out to hunt to expand?

[1.3] Starship Troopers Arachnids Ver6.2 Hardcore Addon

The hardcore addon now supports Rimworld 1.3

----

@PremierVadar - its not a video, it was a stream.

I'm not sure what are the latest play thru for this mod though.

The difference between the hardcore and the one without is that, hardcore makes the arachnid threat a constant and regular one; while the original, is meant to just be part of the game along with all the other mods and events.

Hey man in the description it says somebody did a video which included this mod. Can you please link the exact video? I went on the guys twitch but couldnt figure out which video/run had this mod featured. I really wanna try this mod but also want to see it in action.

The ST Arachnid's Hardcore Add-On is now updated to Rimworld 1.2

Only players with pasteel balls should add this addon.

Would you like to know more?

pair this with the rimatomics mod and set it for high yeild a pop goes your arachnid problem plus your frames but seroisely great mod i would recomend running run time Gc in conguntion to stop late game lag

@Nighti - Yes.

@ash - I forgotten~ lol

you still working on this?

How's the update coming?

im glad you're feeling the heat..... thank lord ..do you have an estimated date ?

@daan_son - wow... that puts pressure on me. LOL

Soon soon... I'm actually around 80-90% done with the update. (for the main mod)

when will thise get updated...i need this in my life ...... not playing rimworld untill this gets updated...

B19

Honestly, if you guys join my discord - you will find people whom deal with the arachnids perfectly fine... in fact looking forward to their events - so that they can gain more wealth from the loot...

honestly even with easy mode an all out assault (4000) will enhale your team of 20+ sooo oof your dead

Yeah but thats the point man, even by accident, just doing what they've evolved to do they can still fight on even footing or even crush the humans despite the fact that at this point they're a multiplanetary space faring race.

LOL...

The arachnids are kindda OP in the way they are written in the books or the movie... I actually tone it down for the mod... or they would be OP in the game as well...

Even the Arachnids from the book would eat the Zerg for breakfast, and still be hungry for brunch.

@BlueTheFurry man you got your lore really really backwards. The Zerg got their ass handed to them by the UED multiple times. The full force of the zerg swarm wasn't enough to even throw the Terran Dominion and the RR off of Char. The zerg are pathetic in comparison to these bugs.

I kind of Reference the Movie that these things are based off of since the Humans ALWAYS fail until they get the Brain bug then they kind of Won the War on THAT planet and just like the Zerg they are going to Land on a Other World and Stick a Queen or a Brain Bug on it and protect it with Billions of Bugs or Zerg

thats way i said "i forgot these things will always fuck u up"

Well im gonna compare these Arachnid Bugs to the Zerg from Starcraft since they both cant be Stopped unless you fuck its main source of control (Brain Bug and Kerrigan)

Twin dicks

@Cyanide - whats a "twin dong" ? LOL

Surely artillery and auto morters will fuck the ararchnids up... right?



oh yea i forgot these things will always fuck u up unless you got nuclear shit then. then fuck off and go fuck those arachnid things in their twin dongs or something like that

@Silentwolf123 - half a year.

when can the first bug raid turn up?

NO LOL

@luis mendez6 - You have a problem with Smurfs and Minions? >=[

LOL~

dont foorget to thumb up rate this mod guys walking problems mods are the best starting with his starship trooper mod

@ZeroDeffs - This mod is never meant to "make it easy" for players. =P

@SeanMacLeod - Actually the current mechanics is already as such. Its just that, on open ground, the bugs / smurfs will "claim much bigger territory" as compared to the vanilla infestations which are usually in rooms and caves

@Bloky555 - The Arachnids attacks are a lot more frequent. In the original, you can sometimes go entire season without getting a single attack (especially when you have a lot of mods installed)

Hardcore mode basically guarantee you get attacks

What does this mod add to the original that makes it hardcore?

@WalkingProblem honestly its all a good mod. and i like the constant pressure. but at end game where your base is large enough those plasma shots that could kill herd animals in 1 hit is quite annoying. maybe you should reduce the damage if it goes trought roofs? or just reduce overall damage. i won the fight but lost my chickens. what am i supposed to do with my colony now. its finished. colonies without chickens equal to death.

@WalkingProblem are you sure plasma bugs are not op? they just took 1 hit to kill 38 of my chickens.. how much is the damage of 1 plasma bombs?

Maybe passive in general, but extremely aggressive when something or someone comes too close to the nest, then passive again when the percieved threat is neutralized or moves out of their territory?
Also (just a suggestion!) reconning scouts, foraging workers, hunting warriors!
heheh Shades of SimAnt lol

@luis.mendez - so the ants do not protect their turf? Hmm...

Is that "natural"? Lol...

sorta bu no. i think the ants should be passive

@luis.mendez6 - So it would be a lot like the Arachnid infestation right?

if you make it make sure that ants could survive any weather

walkingproblem could you make a mod thats like your smurfs mods but or ants?the ants wouldntt completely harmless unless an event happens or maybe they act agressive to those that attack the ant colony?

@Beast From the Weast - the only way to know is to generate the future incident list via dev mode to see if the incidents are filled with a lot of arachnids attacks.

But arachnids attack from 6months into the game. If you are still early in the game - it won't be obvious at the beginning

So how do I know if the mod is correctly working? Will it say something before hand or should I wait for an insect event

B18 version launched!

@Angry Marine - the Starship Troopers Federation mod is in the plans. No confirmation of when it will be released yet though. =P

will i ever be able to see spooky help me clean this infested planet full of cockroaches or will i see some of them new toys SICOM has in store for the grinder meat?

thanks for the explanation :)
