Arachnae Swarm 2 - English Translation

Incomplete English Translation Patch for Arachnae Swarm 2

This is a fan-made English translation for the Arachnae Swarm 2 mod. It's still a work in progress and incomplete, but it's much better than playing with everything in Chinese!

I'll be updating it daily as I translate more content. This is the first mod/translation I've ever made for RimWorld — it's just simple XML text replacements, so it should be safe to use.

Feel free to leave comments if you have any suggestions for better names or phrasing!

How to Play Arachnae Swarm 2
This mod has a unique gameplay loop. Here’s the simple version:

Start with your Queen — She is the heart of the hive. Keep her safe.
Create main Strains (your primary pawns):
Honey Pot → Food & medical production
Warrior → Combat & hunting
Bulwark → Tanky builders/miners
Weaver → Crafters & base maintenance
Nexus → Support & coordination

Add Auxiliary Pets via surgery (the small bugs):
Scavenger, Strongjaw, Hivekeeper, Acidfang, Baneling, etc.
These are like living tools you implant into your main Strains to give them extra jobs.

Upgrade your Strains when ready:
Warrior → Stalker (stealth) or Legion (heavy combat)
Bulwark → Protector (combat) or Progenitor (super builder)
Weaver → Silkweaver (master crafter) or Creeper (creep spreader)
etc.


The mod is much easier once you understand this loop. Individually most things aren’t overwhelmingly strong, but when you combine the right Strains + Auxiliaries + upgrades, the swarm becomes extremely powerful.

Tip: To capture downed enemies, for Essence Extraction Chamber, when enemy is down select the chamber and then select the name (screen screen shot)
