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.

STARSHIP TROOPERS ARACHNIDS VER6.1 HARDCORE ADDON!

A hardcore addon to make bugs attacks more frequently and earlier.

In this addition, the Arachnids will attack earlier and 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.

DEVELOPER NOTE (VER6.0):
This is update is a long time coming. This had been a year in the making (because I had no time to work on it), separating over 4 different "spurts" to finally make this huge update possible. Because I did not intend to just "update" to the latest version - but I was intending to revamp the mod a bit to balance it further, and make it better. This process of making it better takes a lot of time. The backend codes for the generations of the incidents are revamps and cleaned up - thus it should work even more smoothly than ever before.

Especially I want to thank those that donated over the past one year, putting action to your words/request in order to finally make this update possible. I would want to tell everyone - those donations made a difference - the support is what gave me the reason to come back to finish up the update. There are still a number of major updates to go, like the Planet of the Apes mod, Smurf mod, Game of Thrones RimSlaves mod... there are also a number of awesome cool ideas that I wanted to work on - but dont have the chance. All these can only be done with your support.

Finally, have fun getting your base destroy in ways you never imagined possible. Cheers!

CHANGELOG VER6.1
- Adjusted incident chance for some of the incidents to make more common attacks to be more likely to happen

CHANGELOG VER6.0
- Updated to Rimworld 1.2 (skipped 1.1, as RW moved to 1.2 when I was updating it to 1.1)
- I have added a number of new arachnid tactics, there are now a total of 28 different "incidents"/variations of ways they will destroy you.
- Added proper tunneling attack/effects into many of the incidents
- Added delayed mechanics which created a lot of new possibilities on how to screw up your base
- Many of the mechanics are reworked/revamped, so its now even better than before.
- This version is also quite thoroughly tested and rebalanced (its more survival in some ways...)

– Scorpion Bugs now attacks enemies like any other bugs
– Plasma Bug, Plasma Grenadiers and Tanker Bugs “bullets” are now resized to their “correct size”
– There might be changes to the stats of various bugs, as part of the update.
– Introduced “Arachnid Exoskeleton” as the leather, instead of “arachnid leather”, which is extremely good in its own way
– Now you can acquire Arachnid Legs from Warrior Bugs, Hopper Bugs and Firefly Bugs corpse, which can be used as an effective melee weapon
– Butchering giant bugs will give you Arachnid Carapace, a new high value and extremely high quality building materials, perfect for making weapons and structures
– There might be other changes, which I cannot remember due to the size of the update
