With the [[Biotech DLC]], '''friendly mechanoids''' can be gestated. They are controlled by a '''Mechanitor''' (pronounced ''Mek-AN-it-TOR'')<ref>Tynan Sylvester Interview, Hot Potato 2022 [https://youtu.be/SaqYff8kEs8]</ref>, a pawn who has installed a [[mechlink]]. | With the [[Biotech DLC]], '''friendly mechanoids''' can be gestated.

Pawns that are [[psychically deaf]] can't become mechanitors, and pawns that can't do Smithing can't actually gestate/repair mechs. Also, pawns with [[trauma savant]] can't summon a [[diabolus]] from the [[comms console]]. You must have another mechanitor call it in, or wait for diaboli to spawn in high level mechanoid raids. | Pawns that are [[psychically deaf]] can't become mechanitors, and pawns that can't do Smithing can't actually gestate/repair mechs.

| + | === Mechanitor Upgrades === | ||
| + | All mechanitor upgrades are installed like the mechlink itself. | ||
| + | * [[Control sublink]]: Increases work speed by {{+|6%}} per sublink, and increases control groups by {{+|1}}, to a cumulative max bonus of {{+|6}} additional control groups and {{+|36%}} work speed. | ||
| + | ** [[Standard control sublink]]s can be installed 3 times. | ||
| + | ** [[High control sublink]]s can be installed 3 times on pawns with 3 standard sublinks already installed. | ||
| + | * [[Mech gestation processor]]: Increases [[Mechanoid creation#Acquisition|mech gestation]] speed by 33.3% per implant. Can be installed up to 6 times. | ||
| + | * [[Remote repairer]]: Allows repairing mechanoids from range. Can be installed up to 3 times to increase range. | ||
| + | * [[Remote shielder]]: Allows creation of bullet-blocking shield on a mechanoid. Can be installed up to 3 times. | ||
| + | * [[Repair probe]]: Increases mech repair speed by 33.3% per implant. Can be installed up to 6 times. | ||

Rather than traditional work to make them, creating mechanoids requires the undertaking of some number of gestation cycles. A mechanitor must work at the gestator for {{Ticks|1800}}{{Check Tag|Modified?|Is this time value modified by any stat or skill?}} in order to initiate each cycle, but once initiated each cycle will run independently for its duration. Initiating a gestation cycle is considered [[Work#Smith|Smithing]] work. | Rather than traditional work to make them, creating mechanoids requires the undertaking of some number of gestation cycles.

If a cycle is interrupted temporarily (e.g. by losing power), the cycle will pause until the interruption is ended (e.g. by power being restored), but no other adverse effects will occur. | If a cycle is interrupted temporarily (e.g. by losing power), the cycle will pause until the interruption is ended (e.g. by power being restored), but no other adverse effects will occur. | ||

When "working" (i.e. not [[draft]]ed), mechs are fully autonomous. 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: | When "working" (i.e. not [[draft]]ed), mechs are fully autonomous.

The market value of mechs, and of any weapons they carry, do count as wealth for [[raid points|raid point calculations]]. Mechs also contribute towards "[[raid points#Pawn points|pawn points]]" relative to their mech's combat power. The exact percentage depends on current [[wealth]] and can be viewed in the [[raid points#Pawn points|pawn points]] section. The combat power of all combat mechs can be viewed [[Mechanoid hive#Pawns|here]]. | The market value of mechs, and of any weapons they carry, do count as wealth for [[raid points|raid point calculations]].

| + | ==Research== | ||
| + | While [[Research#Basic Mechtech|Basic Mechtech]] can be researched as soon as you have a mechanitor, to research more advanced technology, you'll need to kill certain mechanoid bosses. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * In order to research [[Research#Standard Mechtech|Standard Mechtech]], you must fight a [[Diabolus]] and study its [[signal chip]]. | ||
| + | * In order to research [[Research#High Mechtech|High Mechtech]], you must fight a [[War queen]] and study its [[powerfocus chip]]. | ||
| + | * In order to research [[Research#Ultra Mechtech|Ultra Mechtech]], you must fight an [[Apocriton]] and study its [[nano structuring chip]]. | ||

| + | Except for the comms console, the building used to call in the mech will be destroyed. After a delay, the respective boss will drop in from the outskirts of the map. There is a cooldown before spawning in another boss. | ||

To connect to a band node, select a band node, click the '''Tune to...''' button and select an available Mechanitor. Tuning for the first time lasts '''5 seconds''', re-tuning lasts '''3 days'''. Band nodes stay tuned to a pawn when they leave the map. A band node is no longer tuned when the connected mechanitor [[Death|dies]]. When band nodes no longer receive [[power]], they shutdown and because of that, mechanitors bandwidth gets lowered, which can lead to unconnected [[mechanoids]]. | To connect to a band node, select a band node, click the '''Tune to...''' button and select an available Mechanitor.
