Carriers are a caste of Dryads, a type of animal added by the Ideology DLC. These chunky helpers will haul things where they need to go.

Summary[edit]

All dryads, including the carrier, are produced by a gauranlen tree. They have no need to eat, are immune to disease events, and have 100% Toxic Resistance, rendering them immune to Toxic fallout and Toxic buildup. Dryads cannot die from blood loss, so in practice will survive virtually any damage that doesn't immediately kill them. Dryads can retreat to a healing pod in order to regenerate wounds; this takes 3 days and heals all permanent injuries and bad conditions.

Unlike other animals with Haul training, dryads will continuously haul for as long as there's hauling to do, rather than waiting for random intervals. They have a carrying capacity of 50kg and move roughly half as fast as a human.

Analysis[edit]

Dryads have no need for food or recreation and aren't held back by pesky things such as missing legs and ugly corpses. Pruning can be a way to make even very disabled pawns useful for a colony.

Compared to Lifters , carriers move slower, and their need to rest means that they haul for less time than the robot. Lifters also require no further maintenance once built, as opposed to pruning time for Carriers. However, lifters require Electricity to be researched and create pollution. It's also less expensive, but slower, to create 4 carriers than 4 lifters.

Training[edit]

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:
Attack:
Rescue:
Haul:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

Carriers start fully trained in Haul and have no training decay. While their trainability is advanced, Carriers cannot be taught any other skills.

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
↑ A Scratch attack that varies from animal to animal. Each front paw allows one attack.

+{{Dryad Summary}}
 Unlike other animals with Haul [[Animals#Training|training]], dryads will continuously haul for as long as there's [[hauling]] to do, rather than waiting for random intervals. They have a carrying capacity of 50kg and move roughly half as fast as a [[human]].
 == Analysis ==
-Carrier dryads are surprisingly powerful haulers despite their slow speed, which is made up for with a better AI and no need to eat. While trained animals are "reminded" to haul at random intervals, carriers consistently haul as long as work is available. This "tortoise vs hare" relationship results in the carriers taking the lead versus other contestants such as the [[labrador retriever]]. and despite moving under half as fast will often preform as well as around 1.5 labs. This is in addition to being better equipped for extreme weather, having great tolerances for hot and cold.
+Dryads have no need for [[food]] or [[recreation]] and aren't held back by pesky things such as missing legs and ugly corpses. Pruning can be a way to make even very disabled pawns useful for a colony.
+Compared to [[Lifter]]s {{BiotechIcon}}, carriers move slower, and their need to rest means that they haul for less time than the robot. Lifters also require no further maintenance once built, as opposed to pruning time for Carriers. However, lifters require [[Research#Electricity|Electricity]] to be researched and create [[pollution]]. It's also less expensive, but slower, to create 4 carriers than 4 lifters.
-Compared to the haul power of colonists, carriers are superior. One colonist can create up to 4 carriers per gauranlen tree and 4 carriers perform about 10% more hauling than a single regular pawn. Carriers will constantly haul while awake, which is longer than the time taken to prune 4 dyrads even at 0 plants skill (about 8 hours a day to maintain, down to 6 at 8 skill and 4.5 at 20). Dyrads also have no need for [[food]] or [[recreation]] and aren't held back by pesky things such as brain scars or a missing leg, allowing even the most injured pawns a good way to significantly contribute to your colony.
