Mechs under player control require power: paramedics use 10% of their power per day while active. If set to dormant self-charging, they instead recharge for +1% power / day, without pollution. They recharge in a [[mech recharger]] (constant 200W), for 50% power/day, creating 5 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up. | Mechs under player control require power: paramedics use 10% of their power per day while active.

Paramedics have a base global work speed of 50%. Being in range of a [[mech booster]] increases the work speed to 75%. Each [[control sublink (standard)|control sublink]] installed in their Mechanitor increases the work speed by 6%, up to a maximum of +36%. Control Sublinks and mech boosters combined allow Paramedics to reach 111% Work Speed. Multiple mech boosters do not stack, and the bonus from control sublinks is not multiplied by mech boosters. |

+ | When drafted, paramedics are capable of long jumping to any tile within a 15 tile radius, outside a 6 tile radius and within [[line of sight]]. Therefore, it can jump over [[rock chunk]]s and [[fence]]s, but not [[wall]]s. There is a short {{ticks|30}} warm-up before jumping. It cannot be hurt mid-jump, even by explosions directly under it, but can still get hit during a short warm-up before jumping. There is a {{ticks|480}} cooldown after each jump.{{Check Tag|Verify}} This ability can be used twice, then has an 8 game-hour cooldown. Unlike regular movement, the long jump can both be initiated and land outside of the [[mechanitor]]'s command radius, with no restrictions so long as the mechanitor is not [[downed]]. Paramedics can carry a [[downed]] pawn with them during this jump. | ||
+ | |||
+ | They also have the ability to release a 3.5-tile radius burst of [[firefoam]] on command, putting out [[fire]]s, preventing the spread of other fires, and reducing the [[flammability]] of pawns in the area to 0%. It takes {{ticks|30}} to deploy, but then has a {{ticks/gametime|300000}} cooldown. | ||

+ | == Analysis == | ||
+ | {{Rewrite|section=1|reason = Rewrite/Rearrange into subheadings. A little too monolithic atm. Suggest: General content in main body then then specific subheadings for Tending/Surgery/Firefighting}} | ||
+ | Paramedics work slowly without a [[mech booster]], so are often a poor choice to tend pawns in imminent danger of bleeding out. Although work speed can be increased, a healthy pawn with high Medical skill will always be superior in [[medical tend speed]], [[medical tend quality]], and [[medical surgery success chance]]. In tend speed particularly, a skill 2 pawn is faster than a base paramedic and a skill 12 pawn, or skill 6 pawn equipped with two [[archotech arm]]s, is faster than the fastest possible paramedic. When triaging situations where numerous pawns are in need of medical attention, it is usually better to assign almost ''any'' human doctor to patients at risk of [[Blood loss|bleeding out]], any remaining ''high skilled'' doctors to critical cases requiring tend quality, and leaving the paramedic any remainder. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Regardless of this major drawback, Paramedics do have some advantages over human doctors. They do not suffer from mental breakdowns, are immune to illnesses that human doctors are susceptible to, and only 'sleep' for 24 hours out of every 6 days. They can operate while your doctors are fighting, as the {{P|Bandwidth}} [[bandwidth]] they consume would not buy a combat mechanoid that would replace a human combatant, and they will help keep things manageable whenever a large group of pawns are injured or sick. | ||
+ | |||
+ | With a [[cleanliness|clean]], [[Light|well-lit]] hospital and a bed with a good [[surgery success chance factor]], a paramedic can reach the 98% surgery success chance cap just like their human counterparts. They cannot clean their own hospitals, are slower to heal injuries caused by surgery failures, and rely much more on the quality of the hospital than high skill humans, but paramedics can still handle surgeries for your colony with reasonable reliability. If no doctors are above Medical 10, then the paramedic is the obvious choice as surgeon. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For day-to-day life, paramedics are capable of feeding prisoners{{Check Tag|Clarify|Only if they're also patients or as a warden job as well?}} and resting patients, saving time for your active colonists. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You may want to group the paramedic with other combat mechanoids, keeping them dormant until a combat situation or disease outbreak occurs. Note that the mechanitor must be conscious to change Work Modes, so solo mechanitors should keep paramedics active, and consider having more than one. | ||
+ | |||
+ | With their firefoam pack and immunity to fire and heat, paramedics excel at firefighting and rescuing pawns from situations involving heat that would wound others. | ||
