Mechs under player control require power: centipedes use 10% of their power per day while active. If set to dormant self-charging, they instead recharge for +1% power / day, without pollution. They recharge in a [[large mech recharger]] (constant 400W), for 50% power/day, creating 20 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up. | Mechs under player control require power: centipedes use 10% of their power per day while active.

Centipedes are good at crowd control, but struggle against single or widely scattered targets. One effective way of distracting fire from them (if they are not equipped with the inferno cannon or supported by lancers) is to simply let a colonist with a [[shield belt]] stand in front of other colonists; the centipedes will focus fire on the shielded colonist, allowing your other colonists to fire at the centipedes while taking less damage. | Centipedes are good at crowd control, but struggle against single or widely scattered targets.

If you can spare the resources, [[uranium slug turret]]s can be effective against Centipedes, as they outrange them greatly and their shots are powerful enough to pierce their thick armor. Their tendency to stay at range keeps them roughly within the slug turret's effective range. | If you can spare the resources, [[uranium slug turret]]s can be effective against Centipedes, as they outrange them greatly and their shots are powerful enough to pierce their thick armor.

Centipedes are prime targets for [[psychic insanity lance]]s. A berserk Centipede will draw the attention of other mechanoids, and will continue to attack its compatriots until it or the others are dead. As the [[inferno cannon]] does no damage to other mechanoids, use it against those equipped with the [[heavy charge blaster]]. As Centipedes are very well armored, it will generally result several in dead mechanoids, depending on the composition of the mechanoid force. | Centipedes are prime targets for [[psychic insanity lance]]s.

In the [[Biotech DLC]]{{BiotechIcon}}, centipedes use standard electric [[power]] from a [[large mech recharger]], creating [[toxic wastepack]]s in the process. However, enemy mechs get their power from a unknown source, and even player mechs can enter dormant self-charging from an independent power source. | In the [[Biotech DLC]]{{BiotechIcon}}, centipedes use standard electric [[power]] from a [[large mech recharger]], creating [[toxic wastepack]]s in the process.
