Remote shielder
An implant which allows the mechanitor to place a personal defense shield on a mech. The mechanitor must continuously focus on the mech in order to maintain the shield.
Placing a shield at a distance requires a substantial amount of energy. It can be used to save a mech at a critical moment.
This implant can be self-installed in the same way as the mechlink.
This implant can be installed up to 3 times to increase its range and shield energy.

Remote shielders are artificial body parts and upgrades to a mechanitors Mechlink added by the Biotech DLC
that allow a mechanitor to remotely create a shield around their mechanoids.
Acquisition
Remote shielders can be crafted at a machining table once the High mechtech research project has been completed. Note that this research requires a powerfocus chip to unlock. Each requires 1 Powerfocus chip, 6 Components, 3,200 ticks (53.33 secs) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 6.

Remotely project a personal defense shield onto a mech. The shield stops incoming damage, but also prevents shooting out, so this can be useful even when cast on enemies. The mechanitor must continuously focus on the mech in order to maintain the shield.
— "Remote Shield" ability description
Having at least 1 remote shielder installed gives access to the Remote Shield ability[Require drafting?] which can be cast on mechanoids.[Friendly only?][Only the mechanitor's mechs?] it has no warmup time, no direct resource cost other than your mechanitor's full attention,[Meaning what?] and when the shield is broken, expires, or is cancelled has a 300 ticks (5 secs) cooldown which starts as soon as mechanitor stops projecting the shield.
Up to 3 remote shielders can be installed in each mechanitor's brain. Each installed shielder increases shield range and energy as follows:
| Num. Shielders |
Shield range (Tiles) |
Shield energy i.e. Damage capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7.9 | 75 |
| 2 | 13.9 | 150 |
| 3 | 19.9 | 225 |
Upon casting, a 3x3 shield surrounds the targeted mechanoid.[Moving?] The shield stops all incoming and outgoing ground-level[Verify] fire from passing through the bubble, including fire from the target mechanoid, and detonates explosive projectiles at the point of impact with the shield radius. In contrast to the otherwise similar.
The shield can absorb damage up to its shield energy before breaking. If an attack would be sufficient to completely deplete the shield's charge, then the rest of its damage is negated, and the shield is temporarily broken.
<EMP effects and rechargr rates?>
Installation
Unlike most medical implants, the remote shielder is not installed via an operation and instead can be painlessly self-installed by a conscious mechanitor in about 2 seconds. Simply right click on the item on the ground and click "Implant remote shielder" or "Upgrade remote shielder to level X" if one has already been installed.
A max of 3 can be installed on any one mechanitor and they cannot be uninstalled. If the mechanitor dies by any means and is resurrected all upgrades will be preserved, but if the mechlink is extracted to be installed in another pawn, all upgrades to the mechlink will be lost.
