Boombugs Mod

Author of the Boombugs Mod: mlie

Boombugs Mod adds explosive insect variants to RimWorld, including Boomspiders, Boompedes, and Boomscarabs. These boom-insects bring chemfuel, fire-resistant hives, and a rarer but more dangerous infestation event.

Boombugs Mod Features

  • New explosive insect species: Adds explosive versions of the Megaspider, Megapede, and Megascarab.
  • Boom-insect inheritance: Boom-insects now inherit from the base insects instead of copying them.
  • Boom-hive: Adds a hive that spawns boom-insects, chemfuel, and fuel puddles.
  • Boom infestation incident: Adds a boom version of the Infestation incident. It is much harder, but rarer.
  • Adjusted death explosions: Only the Boomspider has a large explosion on death, while the rest use the smaller version.
  • Fire resistance: All boom-insects and their hive are now almost immune to fire.
  • Chemfuel milking: Tame boom-insects can be milked for chemfuel.

Development progress

  • Boomspiders, Boomscarabs, Boompedes: Done.
  • Boomjelly, Boomglowpods, BoomHive: Work in progress.
  • Infestation event: Work in progress.
