Condition causer

Condition causers are stuctures that create a variety of effects on a given map tile or on the world map at large. They are generally associated with either Events, Quest or a Mechanoid cluster where they serve as both a threat and a call to action. The player must endure their effect until they are destroyed. In this way they are similar to psychic ships.

If the player can endure their effects, they can be left alone however some quests may require them to be killed with a timelimit and some progressively get worse.

They can spawn on the map with the players colony, or in a settlement on the world map that must be caravaned to. In either case they will usually be guarded.
