They are required to initiate the mech gestation processes, and at least one mechanitor must be present in order to work on mech-related [[research]]. Mechanitors are limited to controlling mechs they have enough bandwidth for (See [[#Bandwidth]] for detail). They can't tame mechanoids that are already hostile, even if they were once part of your colony. |

Mechs 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''', and the control group as a whole can then be assigned to one of four orders: | Mechs are fully autonomous.

Each gestation cycle lasts for a baseline of 2 days, modified by the initiating mechanitor's [[Mech Gestation Speed]]. Mech Gestation Speed is controlled by the mechanitor's [[Crafting]] skill and the number of [[mech gestation processor]]s they have installed. This varies the resulting duration from 64 hrs with 0 Crafting skill and no processors, to 14.77 hrs with 20 Crafting and 6 processors. Gestation cycle time is updated when Mechanoid Gestation Speed is, even if a cycle is already running - if you start a cycle, then install a [[Mech gestation processor]] or level the Crafting skill, then it will reduce the remaining cycle time proportional to ratio of the new speed to the old. For a full breakdown of the factors affecting mech gestation speed and the resulting cycle durations, see [[Mech Gestation Speed]]. | Each gestation cycle lasts for a baseline of 2 days, modified by the initiating mechanitor's [[Mech Gestation Speed]].

They can 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 waste. 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. | They can be recharged at a [[mech recharger]] or [[large mech recharger]], which quickly recharges them - +50% power / day.
