− | '''Centipedes''' are | + | '''Centipedes''' are [[mechanoid]]s which do not eat, cannot be tamed or trained, and are always hostile to the colony. They can be found sealed in ancient ruins in all biomes, 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]] and [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]]. They will target doors, walls, base production tables and furniture. |
− | + | Centipedes are often supported by [[scyther]]s or [[lancer]]s, though they usually outpace the centipedes by a great margin and won't stop to wait for them. | |

− | + | Dead centipedes may be shredded at the [[machining table]] or [[crafting spot]] for 30 [[steel]] and 10 [[plasteel]] though these values are affected by [[Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency|mechanoid shredding efficiency]] as well as missing parts on the centipede. | |

− | + | === Combat & Strategy === | |
− | + | Centipedes are slow-moving and highly resistant to sharp damage, which includes bullets, so they require many shots to take down with guns. Centipedes are equipped with a [[heavy charge blaster]] or an [[inferno cannon]]. | |
− | + | Slow movement speed is a significant weakness of this enemy, providing an effective way to take them down. A pawn with a default movement speed using a long-ranged weapon ([[sniper rifle]] or [[charge lance]]) should be able to safely take a shot and move away before a Centipede is able to respond. | |
− | |||
− | + | Melee swarms are possible with little risk of long-term injuries, provided pawns can safely close the distance. Shield belts, drawing their fire from a different direction, or simply using walls and terrain to block projectiles are all good ways to move in. Centipedes with the heavy charge blaster must be simultaneously engaged in melee to make sure none of them can use their weapons. <br> | |
− | + | Micromanagement should make sure that weaker fighters are targeted first, so that better ones can fight for longer before passing out from bruise pain. | |

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.
