−
With the release of the [[Biotech DLC]], '''mechanoids''' may be built, gestated, and controlled by a colony - specifically, by a [[mechanitor]].
 
−
 
 
−
==Acquisition==
 
−
[[Mechanitor]]s are required to build, gestate, and control your own mechanoids. [[Research]] must be done with a valid mechaniator in the colony, and only the mechanitor may initiate any of the mech creation processes. First, creating your own mechs requires the [[Research#Basic Mechtech|Basic Mechtech]] research, which in turn requires the [[Research#Electricity|Electricity]] research to be completed first.
 
−
 
 
−
#Mechanitors must have enough [[bandwidth]] for the mechanoid in question. The larger and more complex the mechanoid is, the more bandwidth is required.
 
−
#All mechanoids require a subcore to create, along with other materials like [[steel]]. Simple mechs use a [[basic subcore]] (from a [[subcore encoder]], while more complex ones require a [[standard subscore]] (from a [[subcore softscanner]]) or [[high subcore]] (from a [[subcore ripscanner]]). The ripscanner in particular requires killing a human pawn to create.
 
−
#After being "built" for a tiny amount of a mechanitor's work, mechs must gestate at a [[mech gestator]] or [[large mech gestator]]. Gestation types are measured in cycles; each cycle is 1.8 game days by default, and larger mechs require more cycles. A [[mech gestation processor]] can be installed into a mechanitor to increase the speed. When cycling is done, the mechanitor must take the mech out.
 
−
 
 
−
More complex mechanoids require more research. Mechanoid research in particular requires killing one of three mechanoid commanders - the [[Diabolus]], [[War queen]], and [[Apocriton]], in order of progression - and studying their specific item before it is possible.
 
−
 
 
−
Hostile mechanoids cannot be tamed or converted in any way, even if once part of your colony. However, you can create every mechanoid in the game, except for the [[Termite]] and [[Apocriton]].
 
−
 
 
−
==Summary==
 
−
[[Mechanitor]]s are required to control mechanoids. A mechanitor has a limited amount of [[bandwidth]], which controls the amount and complexity of mechanoids they can command.
 
−
 
 
−
In general, [[mechanoid]]s are immune to [[fire]], toxicity, and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature. They are vulnerable to [[EMP]] attacks, being stunned by them. Mechanoids do not need to eat, sleep, and have no mood. However, they require [[power]], and cause [[pollution]] in the process.
 
−
 
 
−
Mechs considered "light" use a regular [[mech recharger]] and [[mech gestator]]. Mechs considered "medium" or heavier use the [[large mech recharger]] and [[large mech gestator]].
 
−
 
 
−
===Power===
 
−
Player mechanoids use a variable amount of power, depending on their state.
 
−
*They use 10% power / day when active: labor mechs doing work, or combat mechs being awake at all.
 
−
*Labor mechs use 3% power / day while idle, or not doing work.
 
−
*Mechanoids can be commanded to enter a state of dormancy, preventing power drain, instead recharging at a very slow rate of 1% power / day. Mechs that run out of power will also enter this state.
 
−
 
 
−
They can instead be recharged at a [[mech recharger]] or [[large mech recharger]], which quickly recharges them - +50% power / day. This leads to a theoretical uptime of 83.3% - 5 days working, 1 day charging. The mech recharger itself creates waster. Once its waste meter is filled, [[toxic wastepack]]s are created. The amount of waste is directly correlated to the mech's bandwidth, where 1 bandwidth = 5 wastepacks.
 
−
 
 
−
Mechanoids can be repaired at the cost of their power, the rate dependent on which mech it is. This will restore otherwise permanent injuries. If killed, mechanoids can be ressurected at the cost of some size-dependent [[steel]] and 1 gestation cycle, so long as some part of their corpse is intact
 
−
 
 
−
===Behavior===
 
−
Mech are fully autonomous. Mechanoids assigned to work tasks have an effective [[Skill]] of 10, though most have a 50% [[Global Work Speed]], and some of them work even slower. You cannot order mechanoid work in any direct way, though you can indirectly control it through setting [[zone]]s. Specifically, mechs are put into '''control groups''', which can then be assigned to one of four orders:
 
−
*'''Work''': Do available work tasks. Start charging after reaching a configurable % of power left.
 
−
*'''Escort''': Follow the mechanitor around and fight enemies. Start charging after reaching a configurable % of power left.
 
−
*'''Recharge''': Look for available recharging stations and use them. Enter dormant self-charging if full or no available charging stations.
 
−
*'''Dormant self-charging''': Turns off the mechs. While dormant, mechs recharge a very small amount of power (+1% power / day) without a charger or any pollution.
 
−
 
 
−
Control groups and orders may be changed, though the mechanitor must be controllable (not [[downed]] and not under a [[mental break]]), and their mechs must be in the same map. If they are seperated, mechs will continue to do their tasks without a problem, and won't become hostile. However, control groups and their orders can not be changed.
 
−
 
 
−
Mechs can also be drafted for combat, where they are controlled like any colonist. However, the mechanoid can only be ordered to move ''to'' spaces within a 25-tile radius from their master, and they can only be ordered to do other commands while ''in'' said radius. Mechs can be drafted outside of this range (but not if the mechanitor is downed), where they can defend themselves, carry out previous combat commands, or be commanded to go near the mechanitor.
 
−
 
 
−
Mechanoids in a [[caravan]] contribute towards its carrying capacity. They do not use power as long as they are on the world map.
 
−
 
 
−
If the mechanitor dies or runs out of [[bandwidth]], mechanoids will go into the Uncontrolled state. They will not be uncontrolled if the mechanitor is downed, in a caravan, etc. After {{ticks|60000}} uncontrolled, there is a chance for a mech to go fferal with {{MTB}} of 10 in-game [[time|days]], with a cascade radius of 25 tiles.{{Check Tag|Verify|Based on data from files, verify accuracy in-game and delete this check tag}}
