Mechanoids - Autonomous intelligent robots built for domestic, industrial or military purposes. Only available to advanced cultures because such complex AI is needed to control them.

— RimWorld Universe Quick Primer

For information about the Biotech DLC, see Mechanoid creation and Mechanitor. For the faction, see Mechanoid Hive.

Mechanoids are deadly autonomously intelligent robots.

Summary

Mechanoids are machines. They do not eat, do not feel mood or pain, and are immune to fire, toxicity, and temperature extremes - despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. Enemy mechanoids have no needs at all. As machines, they are vulnerable to EMP attacks, though will "Adapt" for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs) (regardless of source), making them immune to all further EMP strikes.

Mechanoid Hive

Main article: Mechanoid Hive

Hostile mechanoids are part of a Mechanoid Hive. They can be found sealed in ancient ruins in all biomes, which spawn inside mountains or outside on the landscape. They may also raid the player's base through events and can also be found in most poison ships and psychic ships. They may sometimes appear dormant in Ancient Complex and guarding any relic with IdeologyContent added by the Ideology DLC DLC.

Allied Mechanoids

Main article: Mechanoid creation

In the Biotech DLCContent added by the Biotech DLC, many more mechanoid types are added, and mechanoids can be gestated by your colony. A mechanitor with enough bandwidth is required to keep them from going feral. The Biotech DLC must be active for you to create mechanoids.

These gestated variants require power and have to be recharged, which creates Pollution. Friendly mechanoids can be repaired with power and no other cost. As long as they leave a corpse, friendly mechanoids can be ressurected for a steel cost.
