Weaker Raiderpedes Rebalanced (with HD textures!)
Modifies the Raiderpede and it's associated weapon to be weaker than a normal centipede with a different style of fighting, slowly lumbering into battle and firing inaccurate volleys of explosive incendiary fire, developed based on the updated version of Jdalt40's original mod made by "velcroboy333" and inspired by my original "Weaker Raiderpedes" mod from years ago.

Raiderpedes in this version have weaker armour to sharp attacks, less health, slower movement speed, and weaker melee damage, and their guns are slower firing, less accurate, and have a slightly smaller explosion range that's a little less damaging. This makes them a bit weaker than traditional centipedes in most aspects although their blunt armour is similar, melee hits are stronger, and their psychic sensitivity is lower and their guns can be a lot stronger than a typical inferno cannon. This makes raiderpedes ideal for slowly walking into battle and firing volleys of explosions and fire at a large crowd of colonists, but makes them weaker and especially vulnerable to a concentrated close range force.
Oh, and I also took the liberty of AI Upscaling the textures, the main Raiderpede texture scaled amazingly and looks great now at 596x596 (4x original) although the gun is still 64x64 and very blocky, I tried to upscale it to 256x256 but it looks similarly bad, it gets some strange artefacts and doesn't look much better. I might partially redraw the scaled version manually to make it look less artefacty. If you want to use these with the main mod just copy the textures over as they have the same names, and delete the .DDS textures from the original mod as otherwise the upscaled .PNGs won't be loaded if you have graphical mods.
This mod is standalone, although please support the original creator and updator! It might not be completely balanced as it's new, however I did some test battles and the Raiderpede played how I hoped it would and died roughly when I wanted it too.
