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.

 '''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.
-==Note==
-While their trainability is advanced, they cannot be taught any skills other than hauling, and thus will not follow their master into battle.
-Unlike other animals with the hauling training, these dryads will constantly haul as long as there's hauling to do, rather than at random intervals. They can carry 50 units of any item (carrying capacity), and are rather slow, moving about half as fast as a human. Overall better than a human at hauling, because 4 of them will haul all day long for however much work it is to prune the tree.
