📋 About This Mod
Replaces Rad Scorpions with more realistic, classic styled ones. Grounded scorpion designs while still staying faithful to the vanilla aesthetic. Covers existing variants and optionally adds additional ones in place of pre-existing vanilla variety. Additionally cleans up and classifies scorpion names. You'll see radscorplings, radscorpions, radscorpion hunters, radscorpion stalkers, radscoprion emperors and radscorpion empresses. While the vanilla scorpions are modelled after Emperor Scorpions, these closer to a more regionally accurate bark scorpion. While not a one-to-one recreation, it's still a nice and generic enough visual change. Long story short about this mod, Bale made these ages ago and hates them now, didn't wanna release them so I begged him and daddy delivered. I swear man like I have been begging him for weeks to release this shit and was like "yea what if I just post them for you and give you 100% dp"and he was like fuck it, sure. So thanks Bale? Sick ass scorpions. All I've done in terms of development is clean up the files, script, and make it release ready. 🦂
