The Chimera is a bestial and ferocious [[Entity]] added by the Anomaly DLC.{{AnomalyIcon}}

== Summary ==
Chimeras often appear in packs. Cunning predators, they will wait for an opportunity to attack you at your most vulnerable.{{Check Tag|Detail needed|not sure what actually causes them to start attacking or if that's just flavor text.}} They can be dangerous combatants, especially in large numbers.
The chimera has the unique ability to become enraged upon taking damage, gaining a hediff called 'Rage Speed.' This ability makes them much harder to put down, and much more adept at closing the distance between it and your pawns.

'''Rage Speed:'''
* [[Pain]]: {{good|×0%}}
* [[Move Speed]]: {{good|×175%}}
** This results in a move speed of {{#expr:{{P|Move Speed Base}}*1.75}}{{CS}}
* [[Stagger]] Time Multiplier: {{good|×0%}}

Colonists who see a Chimera will receive a {{bad|-8}} mood effect for 24 hours. Killing or disposing of the Chimera has no affect on this moodlet.{{Check Tag|Thought Template}}

=== Containment ===
It provides Advanced anomaly research, and can be studied every 2 days.
It has a minimum containment strength of 70.
When hooked up to a [[bioferrite generator]], it yields 3.225 [[bioferrite]] per day.
When hooked up to an [[electroharvester]], it provides 430 watts.

== Analysis ==
With its ability to become enraged, and inability to be downed due to pain, it can catch up to ranged pawns frighteningly fast. With much greater movement speed than a default pawn, outpacing it might prove very difficult. Heavily armored melee pawns or [[ghoul]]s are recommended to intercept them first. It has some of the strongest melee attacks of any single entity, comparable to a [[Thrumbo]] with lower armor penetration, and can quickly cause a colonist to bleed out by tearing off limbs. Like many entities, it is susceptible to [[fire]], and won't attack while it is putting out the flames.

They are limited to their powerful melee attacks and will eagerly line up to enter a doorway where you can have your entire colony waiting with guns. Like manhunting animals, they are unable to attack structures and will wait patiently outside a colony that has closed its doors. Unlike manhunting packs, they won't go away until they are dealt with, and may move around the map in a difficult to predict fashion. If you're lucky, a raid may show up and the problems may resolve each other.

Capturing them is quite difficult due to their immunity to pain combined with their great speed and durability. The most reliable method is generally to wound one severely, then retreat behind a door until it passes out from blood loss. When using this strategy, keep in mind that they are extremely fast and may rush down the doorway before your colonist can react. They are also susceptible to extreme temperature, though their thick fur provides ample insulation. Psychic shock is another option, if it's available.

Containment

2024-04-21T03:39:40Z

Theothersteve7: here's a starting point

Containment is the desired end result when encountering [[Entities]]. Colonies can hold entities on a [[Holding Spot]] or a [[Holding Platform]], the latter of which requires research and steel to build. Once contained, entities can be researched or regularly harvested for resources or power.

Any containment room is subject to containment breaches. The containment strength of the room can be viewed by clicking on the platform. It is affected by a broad number of factors, including wall strength, door strength, lighting, the presence of a ceiling, temperature, the presence of a bioferrite floor, and the presence of various linkable structures. Larger and more dangerous entities generally require more containment strength. An entity can be held in a weak cell just fine in the short term, it simply increases the rate at which they will break out. As a general rule, the average frequency of breaches for entities that are sufficiently contained is measured in years, while the frequency of those insufficiently contained are measured in days. This is still likely to be enough time for an unprepared colony to quickly set up an adequate cell.

The size of the cell does not affect containment strength. Note that storing multiple entities in the same room will increase the required containment strength. This may still be worthwhile for harvesting certain resources more efficiently.

An entity incapable of moving will never breach. This includes entities with broken spines, or entities with destroyed legs and insufficient arm strength. Such entities can even be held outside in a holding spot without any risk, and are a useful resource to a colony.

Only creature entities are placed on holding platforms. Item entities, such as the Cube, can be hauled around and placed in stockpiles - having an important stockpile dedicated to entities may be a good idea. Building entities, such as the Monolith, must be studied in their current location, as none of the are mobile. Be careful about integrating them into your base designs as they may be a source of risk down the road.

A good starting cell would include the strongest walls available, a steel or stone door, a light source, a ceiling, and a holding spot. In a pinch, a walk-in freezer serves as an excellent holding location for a range of reasons - they tend to have strong walls, double doors, entities will ignore the stored food, and the low temperature actually provides a small containment strength bonus. Another option is to integrate existing veins of metal into the wall. The extremely high HP of compacted steel - or better yet, plasteel - will cause the containment strength of the cell to skyrocket. Endgame setups will vary depending on how many of each entity the colony has acquired.

Void monolith

2024-04-21T03:43:40Z

Theothersteve7: that seems spoiler-free enough

{{Anomaly}}
{{Stub}}
{{Move|reason=Verify ingame name}}
{{Spoiler}}
{{Infobox main
| image = Void monolith.png
| name = Monolith
| description = A monolith of unknown age, purpose, and construction. Its smooth surface is etched with lines that twist and writhe in unsettling patterns.
}}

The void monolith is structure{{Check Tag|?}} that is the center point of the [[Anomaly DLC]]. It is used to start the arrival of [[entities]].

== Acquisition ==
The monolith will already be on the map as a fallen monolith when the player generates a new world. If there is no monolith, a "strange signal" quest should appear that will create an monolith on the map when accepted.

== Summary ==
The Void Monolith is the first Entity that the player will encounter. It will start deactivated, but will activate when a pawn is assigned to investigate it and all warnings are ignored. (If you are on the anomaly start, the Void Monolith will activate itself). Upon first activating the monolith, a gray pall will immediately occur, and colonists will be able to begin studying it. Studying it will cause entities to begin appearing in your colony, much as studying the mechanoid transponder started the process for [[Mechanitor]]s.{{BiotechIcon}}

== Analysis ==
After a certain amount of study, your researchers will grow to better understand the monolith, increasing the amount of research it provides. For this reason, it's important to research it whenever it's available.

It cannot be moved and is important to an Anomaly playthrough, so its position should be taken into consideration when planning your base. If unable to directly base around or nearby the monolith, it is advised to create a safe and lit path from the colony to the monolith so colonists can safely study it and interact with it if necessary, especially during events such as unnatural darkness. Note that building your base directly around the monolith may or may not have long term risks.

== Behavior ==
On "The Anomaly" scenario, the monolith will activate itself after approximately 4 days if not interacted with. It will then upgrade itself to Tier 1.

Golden cube

2024-04-20T02:08:51Z

Theothersteve7: Results of a couple cube management strategies I've tried

| marketvalue = 1200
| flammability = 0
| mass base = 1
| beauty = 400
}}

The '''golden cube''' is an anomalous object obtained from quests in the [[Anomaly DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
The golden cube can be found in [[Events]] in which you are contacted by either a planetary faction{{Check Tag|verify|Which factions?}} or an anonymous AI. The quest giver will ask that you receive some unspecified cargo and refuse any questions about the shipment. Once the quest has been accepted there is a chance that the object which is given to you is the golden cube{{Check Tag|verify|Any other way to obtain? Chance of acquisition}}.

== Summary ==
Once received, [[colonists]] will begin to obsess over this object{{Check Tag|verify|How often are colonists newly affected by the obsession?}}. They gain significant mood bonuses as long as they are allowed to interact with the cube, but also severe penalties to mood if they are separated{{Check Tag|verify|Complete list of mood buffs/debuffs required}}.

Colonists will often stop whatever they were tasked with to 'Play' with the cube. Any obsessed colonists will be unable to have their task changed while playing, but can still be drafted. If the drafted colonist goes too long without being allowed to interact with the cube they will experience 'Cube Withdrawal'{{Check Tag|verify|Complete list and range of effects required}}. Undrafting a colonist undergoing this withdrawal will have them immediately try to interact with the cube, though they can continue to be drafted at any point{{Check Tag|verify}} allowing them to be useful during attacks on the colony.

Obsessed colonists will go on periodic mental breaks{{Check Tag|verify|MTB?}} during which they will build a [[sculpture]] related to the cube. The sculpture is constructed from whatever material the colonist is standing on or by. For example, colonists standing around dirt will make dirt sculptures while those on concrete will make scrap or stone sculptures{{Check Tag|verify|verify all possible materials and floor compositions}}. This artwork will provide a {{+|15}} mood buff to any obsessed colonist who views it. These sculptures cannot be deconstructed and must be destroyed by attacks. When destroyed, obsessed colonists will suffer a mood penalty{{Check Tag|verify|Severity? Stacking? All obsessed colonists or only builder?}}.

When enough studies have been conducted on the golden cube, an option to permanently deactivate it becomes available which requires 1 Archotech [[Shard]]. This destroys the cube and breaks its hold over your colony. However, doing so will send any currently obsessed colonists on the map into [[Berserk]] Mental Breaks{{Check Tag|verify|Are colonists on other map tiles not in caravans affected?}}. Any affected colonists within a [[caravan]] at the time of destruction will leave the colony permanently. Colonists who are obsessed with the cube will not willingly destroy it, so this action must be performed by an unaffected colonist. Temporary pawns from quests may deactivate the cube so long as they are not currently affected{{Check Tag|verify|Can temporary pawns become obsessed?}}.

Upon deactivation the golden cube drops 166 Gold{{Check Tag|verify|Is this amount based on variables such as construction skill?}}.

Other methods of disposal which must be tested: Caravan dumping, [[Transport pod]] disposal, etc{{Check Tag|verify|Confirm and compile all possible routes of disposal}}.

== Analysis ==
As with any anomalous object, care should be taken that the colony is able to reliably deal with adverse side effects brought on by the entity. The introduction of the cube may severely cut down on overall productivity, but also grant a substantial mood bonus to any colonist allowed to consistently interact with the golden cube. Colonies with many pawns who are constantly in danger of mental breaking may find a use, as the huge mood buffs will change potentially dangerous mental breaks into smaller sculpture creation breaks. However, constant sculpture making can prove troublesome as it not only wastes a pawns time, but also takes up space with relatively low value sculptures which cannot be broken without a mood penalty.

The cube itself has a considerably high [[beauty]] value (About on par with a Good quality golden statue) which can even increase the mood of pawns who are not obsessed but simply share the same room as the cube. This can quickly increase the beauty value within a room colonists frequent, such as a rec room or dining room. Keeping the cube on display may prove difficult though, as many of your pawns may attempt to play with it constantly. This may limit the display time and relocate the golden cube afterwards. Placing a dedicated 1x1 [Stockpile Zone] or a [shelf] for the cube can ensure that it always returns to a specific viewing point.

Caravans are made substantially more difficult to form and maintain as any affected colonists will eventually be plagued with constant mood penalties due to undergoing cube withdrawal{{Check Tag|verify|Does carrying the cube within a caravan change this?}}. Often, you may be restricted to keeping any obsessed colonists at home while unaffected pawns can safely do quests on the world map.

Destruction of the cube can be both difficult and dangerous. If all of your colonists are obsessed there will be no way to conventionally deactivate the object, as affected colonists refuse to do so. Any unaffected colonists should be ready to promptly secure and subdue obsessed pawns who go berserk. Be sure to return any affected colonists to the home map before destroying the golden cube, otherwise they will permanently leave. This is likely intended to force affected pawns into the Berserk state and prevent them from avoiding this by caravanning away.

Placing an affected colonist in cryptosleep will result in them escaping the casket and beginning a berserk rage mental break normally. Anesthetized colonists will be unaffected by the cube's destruction, so if you can manage it, this may be the safest option. Even the slightest amount of cube fascination will result in berserk break when the cube is destroyed; the meter doesn't need to be full.

INTRO TEXT

== Acquisition ==
Requires 50 steel, 25 bioferrite, and one component. Requires the Electroharvester research, a basic dark research.

== Summary ==
Intermittently deals mild electrical burns to linked entities. Generates modest amounts of power depending on entity contained; 400 for one gorehulk.

== Analysis ==
Appears much inferior to the Bioferrite generator and should be replaced when possible. The containment penalty it inflicts is considerable. Might be worth using with specific entities as power generation depends on the entity in question; further testing needed.

{{Anomaly}}

== Description ==
'''Anomaly''' is a horror-themed [[DLC]] for RimWorld that adds mysterious threats, containment facilities, and a new endgame. Many of the events are inspired by classics like Cabin in the Woods, The Thing, The Cthulhu mythos, Hellraiser, and many more. It was released on April 11, 2024.

== Monolith ==
{{Main|Monolith|l1=Monolith (article under construction)}}
The Monolith is a structure that is found on the map at the start of the game, or after the quest '''Strange Signal''' if Anomaly was not previously installed. It starts off deactivated, and becomes activated once a pawn is assigned to investigate it and all warnings are ignored.

After the monolith becomes activated, [[entities]] are able to appear. The player is given access to view the entity codex. The monolith will start at level 1, and can be brought up to level 3 by discovering all entities found in the entity codex for that level.

There are 8 entities to research at level 1, 17 at level 2, and 2 at level 3.

== Entities ==
{{Main|Entities|l1=Entities (article under construction)}}
Entities are the major threats of the Anomaly DLC. Entities will not appear until a colonist has finished investigating the [[monolith]]. Entities will appear in the Entity Codex after being discovered. A higher level monolith will cause more dangerous entities to appear.

Entities can be studied by incapacitating them and placing them within a containment cell. Colonists will study them with the Dark Research job, which will advance progress in the Anomaly Tech Tree.

INTRO TEXT

== Acquistion ==
Shamblers are immune to pain and thus are quite difficult to capture without killing them outright. Their tendency to appear in large groups means that there may be a specimen or two that ends up with damaged legs after you have netralized the threat.

== Summary ==
Shamblers are basic zombies and should be treated as such.

== Analysis ==
Shamblers will not attack unless a pawn enters sight range of them. This means that they can be treated much as you would treat a mech cluster; you can safely ignore them if they're in a good location. They have significant defensive applications for this reason as well, attacking raiders and other invaders indiscriminately. The ritual to summon them is potentially useful for this purpose.

Despite the name, most shamblers move at nearly the same speed as a healthy pawn. They are only capable of melee attacks, and they are fairly durable. A group of shamblers is a modest threat, roughly equivalent to an equivalent group of tribals.

{{Stub}}
it's a tree that eats corpses. It can eat both rotten and fresh corpses. It is capable of eating twisted meat as well.

After eating enough, an additional tree will spawn nearby.

When cut down, it provides a small amount of twisted meat as well as wood.

Does not appear to be dangerous in any way.

== Summary ==

== Analysis ==

While not especially dangerous, the Gorehulk is particularly adept at breaking out of containment for its level, and as such should receive the best storage possible that a beginning player can provide. Their great bulk combined with no particular resistance to pain makes them easy to capture. With a little investment into proper facilities they can be a great source of bioferrite.

'''Gene processors''' connect to [[Gene assembler|gene assemblers]] to increase the maximum complexity of [[Xenogerm|xenogerms]] they can produce.

== Acquisition ==
Gene processors can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

== Summary ==
Each gene processor raises the maximum genetic complexity of its connected gene assembler by +2. Multiple processors can be connected at the same time, up to a maximum of 100 for a total of +200 complexity.

Gene processors must be powered to have any effect. If the processor loses power during recombination, and the maximum complexity falls below the required complexity, then recombination will be put on hold. Gene assemblers must also be active when the player is designing a new [[xenotype]] with the gene assembler.

When its connected gene assembler is not in use, the gene processor has no effect, and can be safely turned off.

== Analysis ==
{{For|a general guide to the gene system|Genetics}}
Gene processors are highly recommended for genetic engineering and are necessary for all but the most rudimentary modifications. Genetic engineering itself requires significant investment in materials, research, and power generation, and so may be delayed or skipped entirely depending on playstyle. Inexperienced players are advised to first focus on weapons and armor for their more immediate and straightforward advantages.

As a frame of reference, creating the Genie, Neanderthal, and Waster genotypes from scratch would require 11, 12, and 13 complexity respectively. This would translate to 3 or 4 gene processors; 6 complexity from the assembler, and two each from the processors. Advanced custom supersoldier programs may require dozens of processors, particularly if the player is also including modded genes. The actual strategy will depends greatly on what genes the player manages to acquire.

The '''mechlord helmet''' is a piece of [[apparel]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
Mechlord helmets can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

== Summary ==
Increase [[bandwidth]] by 12.

[[Shooting Accuracy]] = -5
[[Melee Hit Chance]] = -0.5

== Analysis ==
Providing the same armor and coverage as a [[recon helmet]] and providing debuffs to combat skills, while also offering the largest buff to bandwidth, the mechlord helmet is for [[mechanitor]]s that prefer to rely more heavily on their mechanoids to do the fighting instead of themselves. With the best armor ''and'' the best bandwidth of all the mechanitor headwear, it is the ultimate headpiece for them. It meets the apparel requirements of nobility as well.

As it deteroriates over time, and losing one means losing control of some of your mechanoids, make sure to have some way to replace one.

Xenotypes

2022-10-31T17:11:14Z

Theothersteve7: added links

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
'''Xenotypes''', also known as '''Xenohumans''', are pawns with distinct features and abilities. Humans without a xenotype are known as '''Baseliners'''.

== Pigskins ==
[[Pigskins]] are human-pig hybrids which are capable of two-legged movement, tool use, and speech, but which also retain many pig-like qualities. They are hardy and can eat almost anything without getting sick, but their trotter-shaped hands leave them at a disadvantage when attempting to precisely manipulate tools and objects. They don't see well at a distance, so pigskin gangs usually focus on close-range weapons. They also have a strong taste for explosives.

Pigskins were made for their organs. Uncomfortable with the idea of harvesting organs from baseliner humans, a long-gone government merged human DNA into pigs to make the animals produce more easily-transplantable hearts and livers. They succeeded, but the resulting creatures became more humanlike than anyone anticipated.

The pigskins’ faction is the [[Factions#rough pig union|rough pig union]], a loose union of hardy pigskin townships. They're willing to make friends, even with thinsnouts, but they're also ready to toss a bomb and gnaw human gristle when it suits them. Treat them with respect and they'll offer a trotter to an ally in need. Turn against them and the last thing you hear might be a triumphant battle squeal.

== Impids ==
Made for desert life, [[Impids|impid]] cultures live on many rimworlds and dry deathworlds. Impids are extremely fast-moving, easily tolerate high temperatures, and can spew fire from their mouths. Though they are masters on the sand, impids struggle in other environments. They are terrible with farming. They fight well at range, but in close combat their physical weakness becomes apparent.

Outlanders call them dustrunners because of their speed over open terrain and resistance to heat. Some tribes call them devils because of their horns and because they burn their enemies.

The [[Factions#savage impid tribe|savage impid tribe]] has no intention of coexisting peacefully with anyone else. Their warriors are experts at using their natural speed and flame attacks to burn the towns and children of other peoples. Impid tribes' combat tactics usually center on rapid-approach incendiary attacks using both handheld fire weapons and their fire spew ability.

Having been on the planet for thousands of years, the origins of this tribe are lost in myth. They might descend from a group of settlers who lost their technology, or an impid community in some long-ruined civilization.

== Yttakin ==
[[Yttakin]] (pronounced roughly as ee-ta-keen) descend from colonists engineered to thrive on ultra-cold planets. Their great size and fur make them hardy in frozen environments. Yttakin share a psychic connection with the wildlife and can summon animals to their side during battles. They are not fast or energetic or precise, but can keep going when others would have collapsed long before.

Since they migrated off their icy birthworld of Yttak, Yttakin settlements live on many planets. Their fur, roaring voices, and aversion to urban living sometimes leads naive outsiders to believe they are simple-minded animals. Quick-minded Yttakin are happy to make good use of such wrong beliefs, whether at the negotiating table or on the battlefield.

The faction of [[Factions#yttakin pirates|yttakin pirates]] choose to be isolated, and they refuse to deal with outsiders. They’re quick to call animal warriors against anyone who threatens or disrespects them. Underestimating their wild animal companions would be a mistake. However, a captured and recruited yttakin can be a strong ally.

== Neanderthals ==
[[Neanderthals]] are stocky, powerfully-built humanoids. Their most salient characteristic is that they are difficult to hurt: they are very resistant to injury, and their strong immune systems protect them from infection. However, without ever having evolved in a complex civilization, they are less adept than baseliner humans at intellectual and social tasks, and their impulsiveness can make them dangerously aggressive.

Homo neanderthalensis was originally an archaic population of hominids that emerged over 200,000 years ago during the Pleistocene epoch. After they were replaced by and merged with humans 30,000 years ago, they were absent for tens of thousands of years until scientists resurrected them from ancient DNA. Neanderthals now survive in sub-societies on some settled planets. On the rimworlds, neanderthal tribes carve out the same existence as their Earth ancestors did so long ago.

The [[Factions#fierce neanderthal tribe|fierce neanderthal tribe]] lives in the deep wilderness. They are open to peaceful trade, but are otherwise unfriendly and territorial. Warriors from their tribe won’t hesitate to bash in the skulls of anyone they deem dangerous. Their numbers, and the extreme amounts of damage they absorb before falling make them serious foes despite their lack of technology and analytical ability.

Having been on this planet for countless generations, they have no memory of how they got here. They might be the descendants of a neanderthal service caste from a dead civilization, or even the leftovers from some ancient science experiment.

== Dirtmoles ==
With gray skin adapted to artificial light, [[dirtmoles]] thrive in cramped and dark spaces where combat and travel happen over short distances. They are extremely capable at digging or mining tasks. In the open, however, they suffer from a sensitivity to light, slow speed and poor eyesight at distance.

After the first tunnel colonies failed due to the stress of confinement, colonization agencies began genetically altering colonists to live without open space or sunlight. This xenotype are known colloquially as dirtmoles. Today, dirtmoles have expanded out of their original tunnel homes and rule many confined spaces in the anthrosphere. They can be found in deep mines, cramped low-tech spacecraft, and teeming by the billions in the dark underlayers of countless urbworlds.

== Genies ==
Designed to be engineers, [[genies]]' delicate bones and natural aptitude with machines allow them to manipulate devices with remarkable precision. They are emotionally cold and can follow orders where others might panic. However, they are fragile, and their amplified nerve impulses make them easy to debilitate with relatively little pain. With so much of their brains dedicated to analyzing machines, they lack the neural hardware to analyze emotions, so they sometimes come off as socially inept. Their dead calm makes it even harder for them to relate to what they see as madly-hotheaded baseliner humans.

Genies were engineered thousands of years ago by a long-disbanded space navy to hold engineering positions on large starships. Today, genies still serve as engineers in great cities and fleets, but many can also be found working as lawyers, pilots, and musicians.

== Hussars ==
[[Hussars]] are engineered soldiers. They fight aggressively and with precision, heal fast, thrive in extreme temperatures, and freely ingest military drugs. They have a genetic dependence on the drug go-juice, which also makes them less likely to rebel against their commanders.

While hussars' emotions make them dangerous in combat, they can't relate to baseliner humans. They are famous for their blood-red eyes and "hussar stare", a dead expression that unsettles many people.
Their lack of expression and burning aggressive nature has led to many violent misunderstandings.

In most societies where they live, hussars are kept separated from the rest of the population. Hussars are single-purpose tools - and they generally aren't bothered by the fact.

== Highmates ==
Empathic and effortlessly beautiful, these designed companions and concubines have the unique ability to psychically bond with a mate. In a certain context, they seem to be perfect - happy, charming, and kind. However, they are also inept at manual tasks, physically weak, and mentally incapable of violence even if their life depends on it.

On a few wealthy worlds, highmate xenogerms are commercially available and some people become [[highmates]] as a sort of career. However, many societies find them abhorrent, either because they distract people from forming natural families, or because they are humans shaped to serve the pleasures of another. On such worlds they are either reserved as playthings of the powerful, or banned entirely. This particular line of highmate fits the fashions of classical Novaroma, but many other variants exist.

== Wasters ==
[[Wasters]] are gaunt-faced, grey-skinned, aggressive, immune to toxic pollution, almost impervious to disease, and can ingest as much psychite and wake-up drugs as they wish with no ill effects. Their toxin-adapted metabolism means they must consume some form of psychite to survive - usually flake or yayo.

Originally engineered to prevent resettlement of post-apocalyptic deathworlds, wasters are living area-denial weapons. Waster pirates armed with toxic weapons are the bane of many frontier peoples, both on the rimworlds and in the depths of the urbworld hyperstructures.

The faction of [[Factions#waster pirates|waster pirates]] are a diverse collection of violent xenohumans. They are mostly wasters, with a smattering of hussars, neanderthals, genies, dirtmoles, genies, yttakins, and pigskins. They have little interest in building, or farming, preferring to take their sustenance from others using violence. Their technology level depends mostly on who they've managed to steal from recently. Mostly they carry gunpowder weapons, though some prefer to stab victims at close range. They’ll always be a threat.

== Sanguophages ==
{{spoiler}}
[[Sanguophages]] pass among other xenotypes undetected while concealing superhuman powers and working to satiate their genetic need for human blood. They are subjects of wild stories and childrens’ nightmares, and their very existence is debated. They do not reveal themselves without good reason.

Powered by archites, unique micro-machines created by archotech superintelligence, sanguophages’ abilities go far beyond normal genetic enhancements. They are mentally adept across domains and preternaturally beautiful. In combat, they can launch deadly spines and heal injured friends. They don't age or die naturally and never suffer from disease or poison. A sanguophage can make a new sanguophage by reimplanting their own xenogerm into a person.

The price of all this is the endless red thirst. Sanguophages must regularly consume [[hemogen]] derived from human blood. [[Hemogen]] acts as a sort of fuel for the sanguophages’ powers. They're easily destroyed by fire, and slowed down by UV light.

Sanguophages must also go into [[deathrest]] every now and then, where they enter a dormant state for several days in the darkness to regenerate their powers. This process of [[deathrest]] can be enhanced by a variety of technological structures, chief among them is the [[deathrest casket]].

The [[deathrest casket]] is an enclosed med-casket that accelerates the process of deathrest. It can connect to other devices which confer additional bonuses on the deathrester. The number of devices that can connect depends on the person's deathrest capacity, which can be seen by selecting them. The devices to connect are:
<br>[[Hemopump]]: This blood-refining pump increases the amount of [[hemogen]] a deathresting person can store in their body.
<br>[[Hemogen amplifier]]: This device leaves a deathrester in a [[hemogen]]-amplified state so they gain more hemogen from any hemogen source. Using a gland probe and blood analyzer, it links with a deathresting person, stimulating hemogen glands into a more active state.
<br>[[Glucosoid pump]]: This device allows a deathrester to move faster after [[deathrest]] is complete. It pumps the body with extra muscle-signaling factors while cleaning waste products from muscle tissue.
<br>[[Psychofluid pump]]: This device enhances the psychic sensitivity of a deathresting person by rhythmically stimulating neural tissues.
<br>[[Deathrest accelerator]]: This device connects with a deathresting person and makes deathrest complete quicker. It enhances the effect of the [[deathrest casket]] using finer blood analysis and more powerful chemicals.

There is a secret faction of sanguophages. Every now and then, you may get an opportunity to perform a service for them by giving protection, secrecy, or salvation. If you succeed, one of them may offer you the dark gift of immortality. Alternatively, if a sanguophage can be disabled and captured, then a new sanguophage can be made against the blood-drinker’s will.

The first sanguophage appeared thousands of years ago when the lord-explorer Varan-Dur sought to control a hyperintelligent archotech and found himself transformed by it instead. Every sanguophage is descended from him. Since then, sanguophages have often been hunted because of their destabilizing power and their need for blood. Since they can pass for baseliners, many live in hiding among typical humans.

Their numbers are unknown. Some think they are legends or rare irrelevancies. Some believe sanguophages secretly direct entire human civilizations. The stories speak of eternal lords ruling billions from slate-black space stations, or directing blood sacrifices at conferences in the underlayers of the deepest urbworlds.

If you want to engineer your own xenotype with sanguophage-like powers, you can find copies of the sanguophages' special superhuman genes via quests and trade. However, many of them require a unique resource called archites to be reinstalled in a new person. Archites are rare, but can be found via quests, trade, and other special means.

It is possible to be a sanguophage and another xenotype at the same time - pigskin sanguophages look pretty great in their dark hooded robes.

You can start the game as a sanguophage with a single human servant, if you want to build your own blood-harvest empire from scratch.

We made sure to design all the character-oriented enhancements so they can be used freely in any combination. We are very much looking forward to the stories of people making their favorite colonist into a [[Titles|royal]], a [[psycast]]er, a [[Roles|priest]], a [[mechanitor]], a unique xenotype, and a sanguophage all at once.

Mechanoid creation

2022-10-27T04:34:32Z

Theothersteve7: /* Controllable Mechanoids */

{{Biotech}}
''For the enemy structure that creates mechanoids in the [[Royalty DLC]], see [[Mech assembler]].''

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}}

Mechanoid creation

Theothersteve7: /* Controllable Mechanoids */

{{Biotech}}
''For the enemy structure that creates mechanoids in the [[Royalty DLC]], see [[Mech assembler]].''

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}}

*'''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}}

Mechanoid creation

2022-10-27T04:28:22Z

Theothersteve7: Created table (market values don't make much sense, someone please verify in-game)

{{Biotech}}
''For the enemy structure that creates mechanoids in the [[Royalty DLC]], see [[Mech assembler]].''

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}}

The needle gun essentially takes the low fire rate of the charge lance with the lower single shot damage of the [[heavy charge blaster]]. It is relatively harmless, only able to destroy some minor body parts when without armor.

This weapon is unobtainable in normal play, though it can be spawned in by the [[Development mode#Debug actions menu|Debug actions menu]]. It is provided here for comparisons sake. Like all [[unobtainable items|unobtainable weapons]], after being equipped and dropped, it disappears.

Mechanoid hive

<onlyinclude>
{{quote|Mechanoids - Autonomous intelligent robots built for domestic, industrial or military purposes. Only available to advanced cultures because such complex AI is needed to control them.|[[Lore|RimWorld Universe Quick Primer]]|large=1}}</onlyinclude>
A '''Mechanoid Hive''' is a permanently hostile [[faction]] composed entirely of '''[[mechanoids]]''', deadly autonomously intelligent robots.

== Summary ==
All [[mechanoid]]s from a mech hive are permanently hostile to the colony. They do not eat and are immune to [[toxic fallout]] and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. As machines, they are vulnerable to [[EMP]] attacks, though will "Adapt" for {{ticks|2200}} (regardless of source), making them immune to all further EMP strikes. Hostile mechanoids do not fear for their life, unable to feel [[pain]] and will not seek to take [[cover]].

Mechanoids can be found sealed in ancient ruins in all biomes, which spawn inside mountains or outside on the landscape. They may also raid the player's base through [[events]] and can also be found in most [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]], [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]], and [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}. They may sometimes appear dormant in Ancient Complex and guarding any relic with [[Ideology DLC]]{{IdeologyIcon}}.

Hostile mechanoids are not bound by [[power]] limits. While [[mechanitor]]s from the [[Biotech DLC]] can create their own [[allied mechanoid]]s, they are unable to tame or convert hostile ones. Friendly mechs may become feral and join a mech hive if left Uncontrolled (such as having too little [[bandwidth]]) for too long, and can't be re-converted.

= Mechanoid Types =
Mechanoid forces are specialized by their unit types, with each unit performing a single role. Basics summaries are available here, see the individual pages for further details and analysis.
==Core==
===Scyther===
{{Main|Scyther}}
The melee boogeymen of Mechanoids. Fast and extremely dangerous up close, large numbers can and will overwhelm single enemies. Melee blocking, use of chokepoints, and focus fire while they close in are useful tactics. Mechanoid raids consisting entirely of large numbers of scythers are fairly common.

===Lancer===
{{Main|Lancer}}
Armed with [[charge lance]]s, they have medium range and modest overall DPS. However, their high shot damage presents a modest, but serious risk of one-shot-killing pawns by destroying body parts. Therefore, exposure should be limited and lancers prioritized as threats. Like many non-scythers, melee combat is very effective if can get close enough.

===Pikeman===
{{Main|Pikeman}}
Acting as the sniper, their [[needle gun]] doesn't do too much damage. Their main role is to allow mechanoids to engage at range - use bends in chokepoints to force them into range, or simply advance and kill them.

===Centipede===
{{Main|Centipede}}
Centipedes are tanks and crowd controllers. They are incredibly durable, but rather slow. They can wield [[heavy charge blaster]]s or [[minigun]]s for raw, inaccurate damage, or [[inferno cannon]]s to light fires and force ignited pawns out of cover. Mortar Fire and melee combat are decent options for actually damaging the centipede due to it's slow movement speed and large size, and avoid bunching against any of their weapons. Alternatively, a [[psychic insanity lance]] against a centipede turns a danger into a significant asset, though note that other mechanoids are immune to inferno cannons.

===Termite===
{{Main|Termite}}
While not particularly dangerous on their own, their thump cannon can destroy most walls in a single shot, leaving your colonists open to damage from other mechanoids. Depending on the exact strategy employed against the raid as a whole, these might be the highest priority, or of negligible concern.

==Biotech Mechanoids==
{{Biotech}}
===Militor===
{{Main|Militor}}
A small combat mechanoid armed with a low power, 12 range mini-shotgun. One of the weakest mechanoids, they serve as earlygame threats and support other mechanoids. They can be scary through sheer numbers - large mechanoid raids comprised only of militors occasionally spawn.

===Scorcher===
{{Main|Scorcher}}
A mechanoid that specializes in incendiary attacks. Its flame burst attack has little reach, but once it closes on a group of defenders it can ignite and disrupt them with blasts of searing flame.
===Legionary===
{{Main|Legionary}}
A combat support mechanoid with a wide range bullet shield and long-range needle gun. Designed to support other mechanoids from long range, the legionary is vulnerable to anyone who can get inside its shield.
===Tesseron===
{{Main|Tesseron}}
A medium-range combat mechanoid. The tesseron's sweeping beam attack pierces shields, ignites pawns, and deals great damage, but can't be fired up close.
===Centurion===
{{Main|Centurion}}
An incredibly durable ultra-heavy mech, with a large shield capable of defending allies. It also has point-defense turret, which can fire while moving.

==Mechanoid Commanders==
{{Biotech}}
===Diabolus===
{{Main|Diabolus}}
An ultra-heavy mechanoid with an ultra-powerful hellsphere cannon. It takes time to charge up, but devastates everything including buildings and walls in a large radius. Also has a flame burst for use against nearby foes, and a general purpose turret.
===War Queen===
{{Main|War queen}}
An ultra-heavy mech with a built-in mech gestator. Fed with appropriate resources, the war queen can form small war urchin combat mechs within its massive carapace and deploy them into combat.
===War Urchin===
{{Main|War urchin}}
A small, deployable combat mechanoid usually manufactured inside an ultra-heavy war queen mech. War urchins are expendable fighters designed to swarm-attack enemies. They are mounted with short-ranged spiner guns and have a non-rechargeable power source.
===Apocriton===
{{Main|Apocriton}}
A mechanoid commander designed to coordinate and motivate other mechs during long extermination campaigns. Its most obvious power is its ability to resurrect recently-killed mechs by supercharging their self-repair processes. Less obviously, it is intelligent and psychically present, radiating hatred into the minds of anyone in a wide radius. While all mechanoids have a dim psychically-present intelligence, only the apocriton and a few others truly feel hatred for their victims and understand the suffering they inflict.

== Lore ==
{{See also|Lore}}
<onlyinclude>
Killer machines of unknown origin. Hidden in ancient structures, under mounds of dust, or at the bottom of the ocean, mechanoids can self-maintain for thousands of years. This group of mechs seems to be unified in purpose, but not well-coordinated in action. While local scholars believe they're autonomous weapons left over from an ancient war, tribal legends describe them as the demonic servants of a sleeping god. - Faction description.

In the [[lore]], Mechanoids are autonomous intelligent robots built for a variety of purposes. The technologies required to build them vary based on the complexity of the resultant mechanoid, with [[Lore#Tech_levels|Spacer-level]]<includeonly><ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/></includeonly><noinclude><ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing">[[Lore#Cryptosleep Revival Briefing|Cryptosleep Revival Briefing]]</ref></noinclude> urbworlds<includeonly><ref name="Keuneke"/></includeonly><noinclude><ref name="Keuneke">Backstory of Markus 'Keuneke' Keuneke</ref></noinclude> being able to construct more simple mechanoids for companionship, combat and labor use, while only glitterworlds are capable of constructing the more advanced, quasi-conscious versions.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/> Others still are constructed and utilized by [[Lore#Archotech|archotechs]]. <ref>Backstory of Ang 'Codex' Gao</ref><ref>[[Quest]] descriptions</ref>

In-game however, only combat mechanoids from a single, somewhat mysterious source are ever seen. There are some indications that the Mechanoids seen in game may have been built by, or otherwise allied with, an ancient army, perhaps that of the [[Ancients]] faction.<ref>[[Orbital mech cluster targeter]] description</ref>. Whatever the case however, they have since lost any allegiances they may have had and are now hostile to every other faction.

[[Crashed ship parts|Defoliator ship parts]] are usually associated with orbital-drop mechanoid armies.<ref>[[Crashed ship parts|Ship part (defoliator)]] description</ref>

[[Insectoid]] ecosystems were genetically engineered to fight Mechanoid invasions<ref name="Megascarab Description">[[Megascarab]] description</ref> and thus the two factions are always hostile to one another.

Mechanoid hive

Theothersteve7: fixed legionary weapon, it has me confused when I wrote this initially

{{quote|Mechanoids - Autonomous intelligent robots built for domestic, industrial or military purposes. Only available to advanced cultures because such complex AI is needed to control them.|[[Lore|RimWorld Universe Quick Primer]]|large=1}}</onlyinclude>
A '''Mechanoid Hive''' is a permanently hostile [[faction]] composed entirely of '''[[mechanoids]]''', deadly autonomously intelligent robots.

== Summary ==
All [[mechanoid]]s from a mech hive are permanently hostile to the colony. They do not eat and are immune to [[toxic fallout]] and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. As machines, they are vulnerable to [[EMP]] attacks, though will "Adapt" for {{ticks|2200}} (regardless of source), making them immune to all further EMP strikes. Hostile mechanoids do not fear for their life, unable to feel [[pain]] and will not seek to take [[cover]].

Mechanoids can be found sealed in ancient ruins in all biomes, which spawn inside mountains or outside on the landscape. They may also raid the player's base through [[events]] and can also be found in most [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]], [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]], and [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}. They may sometimes appear dormant in Ancient Complex and guarding any relic with [[Ideology DLC]]{{IdeologyIcon}}.

Hostile mechanoids are not bound by [[power]] limits. While [[mechanitor]]s from the [[Biotech DLC]] can create their own [[allied mechanoid]]s, they are unable to tame or convert hostile ones. Friendly mechs may become feral and join a mech hive if left Uncontrolled (such as having too little [[bandwidth]]) for too long, and can't be re-converted.

= Mechanoid Types =
Mechanoid forces are specialized by their unit types, with each unit performing a single role. Basics summaries are available here, see the individual pages for further details and analysis.
==Core==
===Scyther===
{{Main|Scyther}}
The melee boogeymen of Mechanoids. Fast and extremely dangerous up close, large numbers can and will overwhelm single enemies. Melee blocking, use of chokepoints, and focus fire while they close in are useful tactics. Mechanoid raids consisting entirely of large numbers of scythers are fairly common.

===Lancer===
{{Main|Lancer}}
Armed with [[charge lance]]s, they have medium range and modest overall DPS. However, their high shot damage presents a modest, but serious risk of one-shot-killing pawns by destroying body parts. Therefore, exposure should be limited and lancers prioritized as threats. Like many non-scythers, melee combat is very effective if can get close enough.

===Pikeman===
{{Main|Pikeman}}
Acting as the sniper, their [[needle gun]] doesn't do too much damage. Their main role is to allow mechanoids to engage at range - use bends in chokepoints to force them into range, or simply advance and kill them.

===Centipede===
{{Main|Centipede}}
Centipedes are tanks and crowd controllers. They are incredibly durable, but rather slow. They can wield [[heavy charge blaster]]s or [[minigun]]s for raw, inaccurate damage, or [[inferno cannon]]s to light fires and force ignited pawns out of cover. Mortar Fire and melee combat are decent options for actually damaging the centipede due to it's slow movement speed and large size, and avoid bunching against any of their weapons. Alternatively, a [[psychic insanity lance]] against a centipede turns a danger into a significant asset, though note that other mechanoids are immune to inferno cannons.

===Termite===
{{Main|Termite}}
While not particularly dangerous on their own, their thump cannon can destroy most walls in a single shot, leaving your colonists open to damage from other mechanoids. Depending on the exact strategy employed against the raid as a whole, these might be the highest priority, or of negligible concern.

==Biotech Mechanoids==
{{Biotech}}
===Militor===
{{Main|Militor}}
A small combat mechanoid armed with a low power, 12 range mini-shotgun. One of the weakest mechanoids, they serve as earlygame threats and support other mechanoids. They can be scary through sheer numbers - large mechanoid raids comprised only of militors occasionally spawn.

===Scorcher===
{{Main|Scorcher}}
A mechanoid that specializes in incendiary attacks. Its flame burst attack has little reach, but once it closes on a group of defenders it can ignite and disrupt them with blasts of searing flame.
===Legionary===
{{Main|Legionary}}
A combat support mechanoid with a wide range bullet shield and long-range needle gun. Designed to support other mechanoids from long range, the legionary is vulnerable to anyone who can get inside its shield.
===Tesseron===
{{Main|Tesseron}}
A medium-range combat mechanoid. The tesseron's sweeping beam attack pierces shields, ignites pawns, and deals great damage, but can't be fired up close.
===Centurion===
{{Main|Centurion}}
An incredibly durable ultra-heavy mech, with a large shield capable of defending allies. It also has point-defense turret, which can fire while moving.

==Mechanoid Commanders==
{{Biotech}}
===Diabolus===
{{Main|Diabolus}}
An ultra-heavy mechanoid with an ultra-powerful hellsphere cannon. It takes time to charge up, but devastates everything including buildings and walls in a large radius. Also has a flame burst for use against nearby foes, and a general purpose turret.
===War Queen===
{{Main|War queen}}
An ultra-heavy mech with a built-in mech gestator. Fed with appropriate resources, the war queen can form small war urchin combat mechs within its massive carapace and deploy them into combat.
===War Urchin===
{{Main|War urchin}}
A small, deployable combat mechanoid usually manufactured inside an ultra-heavy war queen mech. War urchins are expendable fighters designed to swarm-attack enemies. They are mounted with short-ranged spiner guns and have a non-rechargeable power source.
===Apocriton===
{{Main|Apocriton}}
A mechanoid commander designed to coordinate and motivate other mechs during long extermination campaigns. Its most obvious power is its ability to resurrect recently-killed mechs by supercharging their self-repair processes. Less obviously, it is intelligent and psychically present, radiating hatred into the minds of anyone in a wide radius. While all mechanoids have a dim psychically-present intelligence, only the apocriton and a few others truly feel hatred for their victims and understand the suffering they inflict.

== Lore ==
{{See also|Lore}}
<onlyinclude>
Killer machines of unknown origin. Hidden in ancient structures, under mounds of dust, or at the bottom of the ocean, mechanoids can self-maintain for thousands of years. This group of mechs seems to be unified in purpose, but not well-coordinated in action. While local scholars believe they're autonomous weapons left over from an ancient war, tribal legends describe them as the demonic servants of a sleeping god. - Faction description.

In the [[lore]], Mechanoids are autonomous intelligent robots built for a variety of purposes. The technologies required to build them vary based on the complexity of the resultant mechanoid, with [[Lore#Tech_levels|Spacer-level]]<includeonly><ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/></includeonly><noinclude><ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing">[[Lore#Cryptosleep Revival Briefing|Cryptosleep Revival Briefing]]</ref></noinclude> urbworlds<includeonly><ref name="Keuneke"/></includeonly><noinclude><ref name="Keuneke">Backstory of Markus 'Keuneke' Keuneke</ref></noinclude> being able to construct more simple mechanoids for companionship, combat and labor use, while only glitterworlds are capable of constructing the more advanced, quasi-conscious versions.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/> Others still are constructed and utilized by [[Lore#Archotech|archotechs]]. <ref>Backstory of Ang 'Codex' Gao</ref><ref>[[Quest]] descriptions</ref>

In-game however, only combat mechanoids from a single, somewhat mysterious source are ever seen. There are some indications that the Mechanoids seen in game may have been built by, or otherwise allied with, an ancient army, perhaps that of the [[Ancients]] faction.<ref>[[Orbital mech cluster targeter]] description</ref>. Whatever the case however, they have since lost any allegiances they may have had and are now hostile to every other faction.

[[Crashed ship parts|Defoliator ship parts]] are usually associated with orbital-drop mechanoid armies.<ref>[[Crashed ship parts|Ship part (defoliator)]] description</ref>

[[Insectoid]] ecosystems were genetically engineered to fight Mechanoid invasions<ref name="Megascarab Description">[[Megascarab]] description</ref> and thus the two factions are always hostile to one another.

Deathrest

2022-10-27T03:14:11Z

Theothersteve7: Added maximum limits on deathrest buildings

{{Biotech}}{{stub}}

'''Deathrest''' is a near-catatonic state that [[Xenotypes#Sanguophages|Sanguophages]] and other pawns with the '''deathrest gene''' can go through to avoid devasating penalties.

==Deathrest Need==
Only pawns with the deathrest gene, which include Sanguophages, are able to deathrest. For pawns with this gene, the need for deathrest falls by 3% every day, to a minimum of 0%. If the need goes below 10%, then pawns will gain the ''Deathrest exhaustion'' status - this reduces [[Consciousness]] by -50%, [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by -100%, and gives a -12 [[mood]]let. This means that a pawn would need to rest every 27 days to avoid exhaustion.

A pawn that has both the deathrest and ''deathless'' gene, which also include Sanguophages, will go into compulsed deathrest if they would have otherwise died. While the pawn is hosting lethal injuries, the actual deathrest need, along with deathrest progress, will not increase. However, it is superior than the regular regenerative coma; deathrest lasts for 4 days and the coma lasts for 7 days (plus time to recover from lethal injuries). Deathless itself can restore the torso, but no other body parts (including vital ones like the [[heart]]); deathrest does not impact this.

==Summary==
Deathresting can be done on any [[bed]] or [[deathrest casket]], which must be in a [[roof]]ed space. Forced deathrest from being deathless has no restrictions. Entering deathrest causes any dedicated buildings (like the casket) to be permanently bound to the applicable pawn. If there is no occupant, there are no penalties for deconstructing or destroying bound buildings past general resource loss.

Going into deathrest sets [[Consciousness]] to a maximum of 10% and freezes most needs, including the need for Hemogen, though both rest and deathrest will rise. Pawns must wait for a default of 4 game days to avoid penalties, regardless of their actual deathrest need. They can wake up instantly on command, but waking up too early gives the ''Interrupted deathrest'' debuff for 5 days (0.8x Consciousness, 0.9x [[Moving]] and [[Manipulation]]), which also negates the benefit of all deathrest buildings. Using a deathrest casket connected to power accelerates this by 11%, to 3.6 days, while a [[deathrest accelerator]] speeds it up further.

==Buildings==
Deathrest can be improved by various buildings placed near the casket. If the deathrest is interrupted, then these buildings will not apply.

*[[Hemopump]]: Increases [[hemogen]] storage capacity by +25.
*[[Hemogen amplifier]]: Increases [[hemogen]] gain by +25%
*[[Glucosoid pump]]: Speeds pawn [[Movement]] by +12% until the next deathrest. (Maximum 4)
*[[Psychofluoid pump]]: Increases [[Psychic Sensitivity]] by +25%, as well as [[psyfocus]] (+5%) and neural heat recovery (+0.05 heat). (Maximum 4)
*[[Deathrest accelerator]]: Speeds deathrest by +20%. (Maximum 2)

Each pawn has a building limit, where only a certain amount of buildings may apply at once. Pawns start with a limit of only 1 building, which can be increased with a [[deathrest capacity serum]].

A '''war queen''' is a [[mechanoids|mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Summary ==
War queens are mechanoids. They do not eat and are immune to [[toxic fallout]] and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. Like all mechanoids, they are vulnerable to [[EMP]] attacks. Warqueens have a 45% [[EMP]] resistance, meaning they are stunned for 45% less time.

===As an enemy===
You can summon a hostile War queen with a [[mechanitor]] and a [[mechband antenna]], which requires the [[Research#Basic Mechtech|Basic Mechtech]] research. Summoning the war queen destroys the antenna. However, they are not exclusive to summoning, as strong enough mechanoid raids may feature one or even multiple.

When summoned, it will be accompanied by other mechanoids. The amount of other mechanoids depends on how many times you have summoned a War quee before, but is independent of wealth, time, or colony progress. They will crash down in a ship after a random amount of time ranging from a few in game hours to days. They will not attack immediately, but will instead act like a raid and "prepare" before launching their assault.

Defeating a hostile War queen rewards the player with a [[Powerfocus chip]], regardless of source. One is required to research [[Research#High_Mechtech|High Mechtech]], and they can also be used to create various mechanitor gear.

===Combat===
*Equipped with a [[charge blaster turret]].
*Spawns [[war urchin]]s. Each war urchin costs 25 [[steel]] to make. The war queen generates with 600 steel.
*May come with an energy shield. 300 HP, recharges at a 0.5 rate.
*MeleeDoorDamageFactor = 1.5

==As an ally==
?
The War queen is an ultra-heavy mechanoid. It takes up 5 bandwidth. It recharges at a [[large mech recharger]] and creates 25 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste meter fills.

== Analysis ==
?
A terrifying mechanoid with a built-in mech gestator. The war queen can gestate small war urchin combat mechs inside its massive carapace and deploy them into combat. Given time to build up numbers, a war queen can overwhelm any opponent with dozens of [[war urchin]]s. The war queen demands respect - failing to destroy it quickly could have devastating consequences as it grows its swarm and overruns your colony.

Am '''apocriton''' is a [[mechanoids|mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Summary ==
The apocriton is a psychically-present mechanoid commander who can resurrect recently-killed mechs and jump long distances. It carries a long-range [[toxic needle gun]] and is accompanied by other mechanoids. It can resurrect up to 30 fallen mechs and induces negative thoughts on nearby colonists. Apocritons will spawn with a heavy shield unit, which has a strength of 400%.

Takes 60% of the stun time from [[EMP]].

A '''agrihand''' is a [[mechanoids|mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Summary ==
Agrihands are light mechanoids. They are created from a standard [[mech gestator]] with 1 [[basic subcore]] and 50 [[steel]], taking up 1 [[bandwidth]] from a [[mechanitor]]. They recharge in a [[mech recharger]] (50% power/day), creating 5 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

As mechanoids, they do not need to eat, sleep, or recreate, and are immune to toxic buildup, but must use power. They use 10% power/day while actively working and 3% power/day when idle. Agrihands can do a small amount of melee damage for defense. Mechs do not count as a pawn for determining [[raid points]], but still contribute towards wealth.

Agrihands will do tasks under the Grow and Cut Plants tabs; they can't be manually controlled, except when drafted for combat. They have an effective Plants skill of 10, but a [[Plant Work Speed]] of 40%.

== Analysis ==
Agrihands are fairly simple, increasing the number of crops you can grow and harvest at any one time. They can grow any crop available without mods. Stuck at 10 Plants skill, Agrihands are worse than skilled colonists at harvesting (and better than unskilled ones). However, they simply allow you to grow more crops, which means more yield overall.

As mechanoids are immune to toxicity, Agrihands are especially useful for growing [[toxipotato]]es and other plants in polluted soil - which you may cause by using mechanoids in the first place.

A '''cleansweeper''' is a [[mechanoids|mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Summary ==
Cleansweepers are light mechanoids. They are created from a standard [[mech gestator]] with 1 [[basic subcore]] and 50 [[steel]], taking up 1 [[bandwidth]] from a [[mechanitor]]. They recharge in a [[mech recharger]] (50% power/day), creating 5 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

As mechanoids, they do not need to eat, sleep, or recreate, but must use power. They use 10% power/day while actively working and 3% power/day when idle. Mechs do not count as a pawn for determining [[raid points]], but still contribute towards wealth.

Cleanswepers [[clean]], at 50% speed. They can't be manually controlled, except when drafted for combat. Like other pawns, they can only clean in the designated [[home area]]. They also move slower than a human, at 3.4 cells/s.

== Analysis ==
Cleansweepers do one thing well, and that is to neaten out your colony. Dirt is [[beauty|ugly]] to look at, and will lower a room's impressiveness. As impressive rooms directly help a colonist's [[mood]], a dedicated cleaner really helps with making your pawns happy. In addition, dirty [[cooking]] areas can cause [[food poisoning]], and treating wounds in a dirty room makes [[infection]] more likely. It is quite cheap, too, once you get the infastructure - one cleansweeper is all you really need for a small to medium sized base.

You may want to set a [[zone]] to control where the cleansweeper goes. Otherwise, it can waste its time cleaning outside.

Note that a cleaner robot really serves to take place of a human, so if you have an excess of human labor, then the mech might be redundant (though this could also mean you haven't assigned enough tasks). Conversely, they are most valuable when colonists are in short supply, such as in [[Scenario_system#The_Mechanitor|The Mechanitor]] start. Cleaners also have the advantage of working longer, and not being impacted by mood itself - it won't be bothered by [[corpse]]s, for example.

A '''constructoid''' is a [[mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Summary ==
Constructoids are light mechanoids. They are created from a standard [[mech gestator]] with 1 [[basic subcore]] and 50 [[steel]], taking up 1 [[bandwidth]] from a [[mechanitor]]. They recharge in a [[mech recharger]] (50% power/day), creating 5 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

As mechanoids, they do not need to eat, sleep, or recreate, but must use power. They use 10% power/day while actively working and 3% power/day when idle. Constructoids are equipped with a [[slugthrower]] for defense. Mechs do not count as a pawn for determining [[raid points]], but still contribute towards wealth.

Constructoids will do tasks associated with the Construction tab; they can't be manually controlled, except when drafted. They have an effective Construction skill of 10, but a [[Construction Speed]] of 25%. Constructoids will also move items to start working on a blueprint, moving at 3.4 cells/s, which is slower than a human.

== Analysis ==
Due to the construction speed of 25%, constructoids are inferior to a skilled pawn. However, they have the advantages of being a mech, without the need for food, recreation, or rest, and being able to be built en-masse.

With a skill of 10, they can build almost any skill-locked building, and a healthy constructoid's [[Construct Success Chance]] will be at 100% (so can't fail). Unless you don't have a colonist with a better Construction skill, constructoids are useful for building a lot of things without [[quality]], such as [[wall]]s and [[floor]]s. Urgent buildings should still be left for humans. In order to control where they build, you can set a [[zone]] for them.

As mechanoids, they do not need to eat, sleep, or recreate, but must use power. They use 10% power/day while actively working and 3% power/day when idle. Fabricors are equipped with a [[slugthrower]] for defense.

Fabricors will do most tasks associated with Crafting, Tailoring, and Smithing. They have an effective Crafting and Intellectual skill of 10, but a [[Global Work Speed]] modifier of 50%, producing items 50% slower. If forced to haul, Fabricors are slower than humans, moving at 3.4 cells/s.

== Analysis ==
Fabricors are best at all sorts of menial crafting tasks, such as fabricating [[component]]s and [[advanced component]]s, creating [[drug]]s, or carving up [[stone block]]s. Colonies may have dedicated crafters with 10+ skill by the time Fabricors are created - they can be reserved for creating [[weapon]]s, [[apparel]], and other items where [[quality]] matters.

A '''tunneler''' is a [[mechanoids|mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Summary ==
Tunnelers are a heavy mechanoid. They are created from a [[large mech gestator]] with ??, taking up 3 [[bandwidth]] from a [[mechanitor]]. They must gestate for 4 cycles (default 1.8 game days per cycle) to be made. Once made, they recharge in a [[large mech recharger]] (50% power/day), creating 15 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

In combat, tunnelers have a shield (equivalent to a [[shield belt]]) of 250 power. They can also emit smoke, though with a cooldown of 15 days. They have a melee attack. Its weakness is that each time it takes damage, it slows for a few seconds - this means that when tunnelers attack you, even if you can’t kill them quickly, you can intelligently kite them by falling back from your position to escape the blocking smoke, maintain distance and slowly whittle the tunnelers down.

Tunneers will do tasks associated with the Mining tab; they can't be manually controlled, except when drafted for combat. They have an effective Mining skill of 10, with a [[Global Work Speed]] of 150%.

The diabolus dissipates the hellsphere cannon's waste power in a heat column mounted on its back, which can pulse to ignite flammable objects nearby.\n\nThis mech's name comes from a thousand-year-old poem written by a Haspian monk who survived the erasure of his monastery. His religiously-tinged work describes a razor-bodied fiend pulsing with flesh-searing heat as it crushed scorched bodies under massive claws. The few who have faced a diabolus and survived tend to agree with this depiction.

A '''Diabolus''' is a [[mechanoids|mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Summary ==
Diaboluses are mechanoids. They do not eat and are immune to [[toxic fallout]] and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. Like all mechanoids, they are vulnerable to [[EMP]] attacks. Diaboluses have a 30% [[EMP]] resistance, meaning they are stunned for 30% less time.

===As an enemy===
You can summon a hostile Diabolus with a [[mechanitor]] and a powered [[comms console]], the latter of which requires the [[Research#Microelectronics|Microelectronics]] research. When summoned, it will be accompanied by other mechanoids, depending on how many times you have summoned a Diabolus before. They will crash down in a ship after a random amount of time ranging from a few in game hours to days. They will not attack immediately, but will instead act like a raid and "prepare" before launching their assault.

The Diabolus alternates between two long range attacks:

1. Hellsphere cannon. When using this attack, Diabolus will create a red circle around a target. After several seconds, the circle erupts into flames, destroying all structures, leaving a large circle of fire, and often outright killing any pawn in the blast. The radius of the blast is a bit larger than the circle, so you may want to err on the side of caution. <br>2. A single pulse bullet. This is long range and relatively low damage, but it has almost no startup time. Try to get behind cover if possible.

When engaged in melee, the Diabolus will trigger a special ability. It surrounds itself in explosive fluids and then ignites them creating a massive fireball around it. This attack deals heavy damage, and there is almost no time to disengage and run to safety.

Defeating the Diabolus rewards the player with a [[signal chip]], which is required to research [[Research#Standard_Mechtech|Standard Mechtech]]. It may also be used to create various mechanitor gear or even your own Diabolus.

===As an ally===
The Diabolus is an ultra-heavy mechanoid. After [[research]]ing High Mechtech, they can be created from a [[large mech gestator]] with 1 [[high subcore]], 2 [[signal chip]]s, 300 [[steel]], and 300 [[plasteel]], taking 12 gestation cycles to form. It takes up 5 [[bandwidth]] from a [[mechanitor]]. They recharge in a [[large mech recharger]], creating 25 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

In combat, the Diabolus will automatically use their pulse turret, unless disabled. They must be manually commanded to use the hellsphere cannon, which can not be used too close, and still takes a long time to charge up. The cannon won't light the terrain on fire. They may also initiate a flame burst, which takes 3 seconds to warm up and cannot be used for 1 hour afterwards.

== Analysis ==
===As an enemy===
Kiting is key to taking out the Diabolus. It is HIGHLY advised to NOT use melee attacks to avoid the close-ranged burst, unless you have sufficient fire protection (devilstrand clothing, phoenix armor, impids) or use your own mechanoids, who are immune against the fire. Instead, manually move pawns away from the blast radius, and always allow yourself the option to move. Splitting your pawns up will allow more of them to focus on shooting instead of running. You can even use your own [[militor]]s to lure the blast; their range is short enough to justify staying close, anyway.

The fire is rather annoying; not only does this make it difficult to go back to your original positions, but it might also lure non-drafted pawns out onto the battlefield to extinguish the fire.

A '''centurion''' is a [[mechanoids|mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Summary ==
?
A nearly unstoppable ultra-heavy mech with a built-in shield bubble generator and point-defense bulb turret capable of firing even while the mechanoid is moving. The centurion acts as a mobile defense platform. Its massive shield is one of the strongest among mechanoids, providing large numbers of allies with strong defense while allowing them to shoot outwards.

== Analysis ==

The Centurion is a superheavy unit, sharing similarities such as armor and base health with the deadly Warqueen and Diabolus.

'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilties to [[human]] pawns.

Metabolism, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, is a measure of how much food a colonist needs to eat. Negative traits will increase their metabolism, meaning they need to eat less food, while positive traits will decrease their metabolism, meaning they need to eat more food. The metabolism counter caps at -5 (250% food intake) and 5 (50% food intake). You can have a metabolism higher than 5, but the food needed will not go below 50%. You can not have a metabolism below -5.

Complexity, denoted by the [[File:Complexity.png|20px|Complexity]] symbol, is a measure of how complex the genetic makeup of a colonist will be. It affects the amount of time needed to regrow the colonist's genes, if need be.

Inheritability, denoted by "N/A", represents whether or not offspring can inherit it, as well as the chance (whether it's dominant, etc.)

|text= <big>'''The table format for this page is being discussed on the [[Talk:Genes|Talk Page]]! We want to get it hashed out ''before'' rolling it out to all 200+ genes. Come weigh in with your opinion}}'''</big>
'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilties to [[human]] pawns.

Metabolism, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, is a measure of how much food a colonist needs to eat. Negative traits will increase their metabolism, meaning they need to eat less food, while positive traits will decrease their metabolism, meaning they need to eat more food. The metabolism counter caps at -5 (250% food intake) and 5 (50% food intake). You can have a metabolism higher than 5, but the food needed will not go below 50%. You can not have a metabolism below -5.

Complexity, denoted by the [[File:Complexity.png|20px|Complexity]] symbol, is a measure of how complex the genetic makeup of a colonist will be. It affects the amount of time needed to regrow the colonist's genes, if need be.

Inheritability, denoted by "N/A", represents whether or not offspring can inherit it, as well as the chance (whether it's dominant, etc.)

'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilties to [[human]] pawns.

Metabolism, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, is a measure of how much food a colonist needs to eat. Negative traits will increase their metabolism, meaning they need to eat less food, while positive traits will decrease their metabolism, meaning they need to eat more food. The metabolism counter caps at -5 (250% food intake) and 5 (50% food intake). You can have a metabolism higher than 5, but the food needed will not go below 50%. You can not have a metabolism below -5.

Complexity, denoted by the [[File:Complexity.png|20px|Complexity]] symbol, is a measure of how complex the genetic makeup of a colonist will be. It affects the amount of time needed to regrow the colonist's genes, if need be.

Inheritability, denoted by "N/A", represents whether or not offspring can inherit it, as well as the chance (whether it's dominant, etc.)

Biotech (DLC)

Theothersteve7: added a couple important links

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
{{quote|"For our children; We'll do what we must."|Biotech DLC tagline|large=1}}
''Released on October 21, 2022''
== Description ==
'''Biotech''' is a [[DLC]] for RimWorld that focuses on [[Children_and_reproduction|children and reproduction]], expanding on [[mechanoids]], and xenohumans and [[Genes|genetic modification]].
Upon release, it has managed to become one of the highest grossing DLCs on Steam.

== Features ==
* Control mechanoids, including many new mechanoid types, by making your colonist into a mechanitor
* Raise babies and children. Reproduce and create families - by both natural and artificial means
* Genetically-modify children and adults, and interact with new gene-modded factions

== Children and reproduction ==
With Biotech, colonists (and outsiders) can become pregnant and give birth. Pregnancy can begin naturally, or via technological means, and can be controlled by a variety of methods.

Babies bring joy, but also challenges. Colonists’ hearts will melt when the baby coos and giggles in their arms. But it takes effort to keep a baby happy and healthy and loved - create a safe haven for them in a cozy pastel nursery where there is always warm milk, a comfortable crib, overflowing toy chests and kind caregivers.

[[File:classroom.jpg|620px]]

They grow up fast (especially if you use a growth vat) - soon your child will be walking, talking, and getting into trouble. They’ll soak up knowledge in the classroom and tag along with adults to watch them work. Kids find many ways to entertain themselves with art, exploring nature, playing with technology, and more. Teach them lessons and they’ll learn how to survive, cook, make friends, create art, build, craft, hunt, and fight. Watch as they grow up and make mistakes, lose loved ones, and survive hardships.

[[File:pigskins.jpg|620px]]

A rich childhood makes a capable adult. Every few years, you choose which traits and passions a child will develop. The better-raised a child is, with smarter education and more attention, the more choices you’ll have, and the better their chances are to become a happy and talented adult. Some colonies will sacrifice everything to give a child the best upbringing, while others will use growth vats to pump out cheap workers and soldiers. The choice is up to you.

== The mechanitor ==
Build and control mechanoids by making your colonist into a mechanitor - a person with a special brain implant that lets them psychically command semi-living machines.

[[File:mechanoid-factory.jpg|620px]]

Create mechanoids by growing them inside high-tech gestator tanks. Command the original [[centipede]], [[lancer]], and [[scyther]], plus a wide variety of new combat and labor mechanoids. Grow your swarm from a few small workers and fighters to a fearsome squadron of massive ultratech war machines and industrial behemoths.

Mechanoid laborers can manufacture goods, rescue and tend to your colonists, build and repair structures, sow and harvest crops, haul stuff, and more. They never get sick. They don’t freeze in the snow or get poisoned in [[toxic fallout]]. They don’t suffer [[mental break]]s from long hours in dark mineshafts or filthy garbage yards.

[[File:mechanoids-working.jpg|620px]]

Combat mechanoids are very diverse in form and function. Some are cheap swarmers that overwhelm the enemy with numbers. Others project shields over their allies, or roast enemies with beam weapons, or charge up for massive concrete-melting hellsphere attacks. Mechanoids wield melee claws and blades, sniper weapons, even flamethrowers. Depending on which mechanoids you command, your tactical options will vary dramatically.

[[File:mechs-approach.jpg|620px]] [[File:diabolus.jpg|620px]]

Mechanoid infrastructure has a special price: Pollution. Left unfrozen, toxic wastepacks deteriorate and leak pollutants into the environment. Pollution makes living things sick. It poisons your colonists and pets. It blocks the sunlight with smog and irritates your colonists’ lungs. It triggers hibernating insects to emerge on the planet’s surface. Some areas of the planet are so polluted that only twisted, toxin-adapted variants of plants and animals can survive there. Pollution is a challenge that you can handle in a variety of ways - freezing, export (neighbors might not like this), adaptation, high-tech atomization.

Advance your mechanitor’s capabilities by acquiring ancient mechanoid technology. This means calling dangerous new super-mechanoids to attack, in order to defeat them and steal technology from their smoking corpses. There are three types of hyper-deadly commander mechs to fight, each with its own weapons and combat style. Be sure you’re ready before you call these machine beasts to attack. Learn enough, and some day, you may command them as your own.

[[File:final-battle.jpg|620px]] [[File:apocriton-revives.jpg|620px]]

== Gene modding ==
You can genetically-modify people to create xenohumans - humans with exotic traits. [[Genes|Genetic modifications]] range from subtle personality traits and eye color to hulking furry bodies, glands for fire-breathing, rapid regeneration, and even immortality.

[[File:genelab.jpg|620px]]

The world contains a new set of xenohuman types and factions, including unstoppable super soldiers, fur-covered animal-controlling arctic settlers, toxin-immune human bioweapons, fire-breathing horned desert imp-people, psychic-bonding concubines, and more. The darkest of them drink blood, live in shadows, and live forever.

[[File:sanguophage-base.jpg|620px]]

You can make your own xenotypes from scratch, and build infrastructure in your colony to enhance your people. Curate a collection of exotic genes by purchasing them from traders, accepting them as quest rewards, or extracting them from your menagerie of xenohuman prisoners. You can harvest the genes from anyone and implant those genes into your colonists and prisoners. You can also recombine genes to make bizarre and advantageous mixes of traits for implantation. Experiment with gene extraction and recombination to build your colony of xenohumans!
