As far as I know, the damage-types are hardcoded into the game.

So... You can't really make new ones unless you do some assembly programming.
I haven't gotten to this part of programming yet.

This is a list of the damage types...
'PARTICLE_BEAM'(which is not here) is for the particle cannon's laser.

; "CRUSH",     
; "ARMOR_PIERCING",
; "SMALL_ARMS",  
; "GATTLING",   
; "RADIATION",   
; "FLAME",     
; "LASER",     
; "SNIPER",    
; "POISON",   
; "HEALING", 
; "UNRESISTABLE", 
; "WATER",

You could always use one of the unused damage types. HACK is unused, and SURRENDER is identical to SNIPER so if you change all of the SURRENDER damage type references to SNIPER, you can free up SURRENDER as well.

Also, you wouldn't really need New Damage Types all that much... It's really more on the Armors that resist the damage taken from a damage-type.

EXPLOSION is a good damage type for all-purpose use.
PARTICLE_BEAM, while obscure, can be used for Units and Weaker Structures.

Though, overall, you are free to adjust Armors to suit your desired unit(s).
You even may make an armor to resist everything.

Just to say ty too :)

edit: I experimented with using PENALTY, and it seems to have a unique visual effect, e.g. a ranger using PENALTY looks like his bullets are penetrating and doing a lot of damage to the tank instead of just bouncing off.
