A cleansweeper is a mechanoid added by the Biotech DLC.

Summary

As mechanoids, cleansweepers are immune to fire, toxicity, and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature. They do not need to eat, rest, and have no mood. They will be stunned by EMP attacks and will "adapt" for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs), rendering them immune to further EMP strikes. Mechs do not count as a pawn for determining raid points, but still contribute towards wealth.

Work

Cleansweepers are light mechanoids, and require the Basic Mechtech. They are created from a standard mech gestator with Steel 50 Steel, Basic subcore 1 Basic subcore, taking up 1 bandwidth from a mechanitor. They take 1800 ticks to initally craft, and then it must gestate for 1 cycle. Mechanoids can be fully repaired at the cost of power and nothing else. A dead cleansweeper can be resurected for 25 steel and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant.

Mechs under player control require power: cleansweepers 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 mech recharger (constant 200W), for 50% power/day, creating 5 wastepacks whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

Cleanswepers clean, at 50% of a base human's 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 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 The Mechanitor start. Cleaners also have the advantage of working longer, and not being impacted by mood itself - it won't be bothered by corpses, for example.

Consider installing a mech booster in areas likely to see high areas of filth to improve how quickly Cleansweepers are able to function. Kitchens and hospitals make good candidate locations.
