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.

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.

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.
