Security
Auto mortar A self-powered, self-loading, automatic mortar. It can hit targets at any distance, over walls, but is quite inaccurate. Spike trap Five spikes under tension, connected to a touch-activated trigger. When the victim disturbs the trigger, the spikes spring forth and strike the victim. Since it is hidden in the surrounding terrain, it cannot be placed adjacent to other traps. Animals can sense these when calm. Foam turret An activatable turret for extinguishing fires. The turret stands idle until someone approaches and activates it, after which it will automatically spray large amounts of firefoam on any flames in sight. Auto charge turret A self-powered turret mounted with a charge blaster. It cannot sense targets at very short ranges. Mortar A manned mortar that launches all kinds of shells. While it can inflict devastating damage, the mortar's inherent inaccuracy makes it more useful for attacking large fortifications than groups of enemies in the field. Auto inferno turret A self-powered turret mounted with an inferno cannon. It cannot sense targets at very short ranges. Barricade A waist-high barrier for use as cover from incoming shots. Barricades are ugly, but provide better cover than other low objects. Barricades will block certain kinds of animals the same way that fences do. Mini-slugger turret A self-powered defense turret mounted with a weak but long-ranged slug-thrower. May explode when damaged. Mini-turret A portable automatic turret. Requires steel to refurbish its barrel after heavy use. May explode when damaged. Its dumb AI brain can't be directly controlled, so beware of friendly fire. Sandbags Bags of locally-sourced dirt or sand, stacked for use as cover. Sandbags are ugly, but provide better cover than other low objects. IED firefoam trap A pair of firefoam shells connected to a trigger which detonates on touch or bullet impact. Since it is hidden in the surrounding terrain, it cannot be placed adjacent to other traps. Animals can sense these when calm. IED trap A pair of high-explosive shells connected to a trigger which detonates on touch or bullet impact. Since it is hidden in the surrounding terrain, it cannot be placed adjacent to other traps. Animals can sense these when calm. IED tox trap A pair of tox gas shells connected to a trigger which detonates on touch or bullet impact. Since it is hidden in the surrounding terrain, it cannot be placed adjacent to other traps. Animals can sense these when calm.

Animals can sense these when calm. IED incendiary trap A pair of incendiary shells connected to a trigger which detonates on touch or bullet impact. Since it is hidden in the surrounding terrain, it cannot be placed adjacent to other traps. Animals can sense these when calm. IED EMP trap A pair of EMP shells connected to a trigger which detonates on touch or bullet impact. The explosion can paralyze mechanoids for a few seconds. Since it is hidden in the surrounding terrain, it cannot be placed adjacent to other traps. Animals can sense these when calm. Rocketswarm launcher An emergency-defense launcher that fires a single barrage of rockets covering a large area. The turret does not fire until someone activates it. It is very effective against large groups of weaker combatants, but less effective against small numbers of armored targets. Once fired, it must cool off for hours and be reloaded to fire again. IED antigrain warhead trap An antimatter-powered antigrain warhead connected to a trigger which detonates on touch or bullet impact. Since it is hidden in the surrounding terrain, it cannot be placed adjacent to other traps. Animals can sense these when calm. Autocannon turret A heavy automatic turret. Its large-caliber shells do heavy damage over significant ranges, but its barrel must be refurbished after use. It cannot fire at close-up targets, and may explode when damaged. Uranium slug turret An armor-piercing turret. Its ultra-dense uranium shells can punch through heavy armor, but it requires new uranium slugs to be loaded after use. It's more accurate at longer ranges, and can't fire at all close up. May explode when damaged.

Miscellaneous
Ancient cryptosleep casket This cryptosleep casket looks like it has been here for a very long time. Who knows what it might contain? Archonexus core The central core of an archonexus. Its broad surfaces are perfectly clean, and they somehow appear both flat and curved at the same time. To most, its purpose seems unknowable. However, some say this is part of an archotech itself, and that the one who finds it can invoke the power of the machine god. The psychic power it emanates is terrifyingly loud and complex, yet dead silent. It is heard without ears, felt without skin, seen without eyes, known without memory. It is the thoughts of a being from another plane of existence. The perceptions are reflected directly into any human mind who ventures too close, and few can hold onto their humanity for long under such mental pressure. Only the psychically-deaf are immune. Archotech tower A moderately-sized archotech tower rising from the ground. Traces along its surface glow steadily with a strange color. Humans can only begin to guess at its purpose. Caravan hitching spot Designates a spot for hitching animals and forming caravans. Colonist will hitch animals here while loading a caravan. You can also use these during encounters away from home to keep animals from wandering. Climate adjuster An ultratech device for controlling climate. Using chemicals and exotic fields to manipulate the atmosphere, it shifts the temperature in this region of the world. Comms console Allows radio contact with other factions and orbital traders. Crashed mechanitor ship A short-range ship used by a mechanitor to transport mechs for low-orbit or planetary travel. Cryptosleep casket A self-powered sarcophagus designed to keep a person in a state of suspended animation for many years. Dryad cocoon A sphere of fibrous plant matter. A dryad inside is slowly morphing into a new form. Gauranlen trees grow these spheres to help protect the dryads as they morph. EMI dynamo A massive electromagnetic interference generator. It interferes with or shuts down electrical devices in nearby regions. Egg box A box with soft material made to hold eggs. Egg-laying animals will lay eggs in egg boxes if they can. Your haulers will take all the eggs out only when the box is full, to save time. The box also protects eggs from deteriorating outdoors, though it does not protect from temperature damage. Firefoam popper When it detects fire, this safety device pops and sprays a fire-retardant foam in a circular field around itself. Can also be triggered manually. Gaumaker pod The result of the merging of several Gaumaker dryads, this symbiotic plant/animal pod is an essential part of the Gauranlen life cycle. After some time, it will flower into a mature Gauranlen pod which can be harvested to plant a new Gauranlen tree. Grand altar A grand platform that plays a role in ideoligious rituals. Grand archotech structure A grand archotech structure of towering height and impressive bulk. The shape is hard to perceive, and the surfaces seem to flow when stared at too long. It could have appeared moments ago, or been here thousands of years. It emanates intense psychic influence, forcing thoughts and perceptions directly into the mind of anyone who ventures too close. The emanations are not aggressive, but they are utterly alien and impossible to ignore. Sensations unlinked from time or space, the endless rumination of an inhuman mind a billion times larger - the weak-minded lose themselves quickly under. Only the psychically-deaf are immune. Grand stele A towering slab with extensive engravings on the sides. Steles have been used since ancient times to memorialize individuals, battles, and other important events. Grave A decent final resting place. Colonists will visit full graves to gain meditative joy. Ground-penetrating scanner A sensor unit used by researchers to search for buried resources. The chance to find a resource depends on the operator's research ability. It consumes a lot of electricity. If you find a buried resource, you'll need to use deep drills to extract it. It doesn't work under a roof. Ideogram A large image drawn on the ground and reinforced with metal edges. It is used as a focus for rituals. Large altar A large platform that plays a role in ideoligious rituals. Large stele A tall, thick slab with engravings on the sides. Steles have been used since ancient times to memorialize individuals, battles, and other important events. Long-range mineral scanner A lateral sensor unit used by researchers to detect a specific type of mineral across the planet. The chance to find a resource depends on the operator's research ability. This sensor can be tuned to target a specific resource type. It consumes a lot of electricity. If you find a resource, you'll need to travel to collect it. Major archotech structure A large archotech structure. The dull green surface is utterly pristine and undamaged, and so smooth that it's slippery. There is no way to guess how long it has been here, and its purpose seems unfathomable. The psychic power it emanates isn't aggressive, but it is overwhelming and inhuman. Like standing inside a threshing machine of whirling blades, inside the heartbeat of a sleeping giant, inside a tight tunnel and you can't move or speak or breathe... Anyone who goes near it will become unsettled unless they are psychically deaf. Marriage spot Designates a spot where marriage ceremonies will take place. Spectators can watch from either side. Meditation spot Designates a spot for meditation. Psycasters can meditate here to gain psyfocus.

Pod launchers can launch as a group - but the launchers must be placed adjacent to each other. Psychic droner An archotech device transmitting the thoughts of a mad superintelligence. It generates a massive psychic drone tuned to one gender and affecting a whole region of the planet. People of that gender will be disturbed by the effect, reducing their mood and possibly driving them insane. The effect is modulated by an individual's psychic sensitivity. Sarcophagus An ornamented burial receptacle for the honored dead. Ship landing beacon Marks the corner of a landing area. Four of these placed at the corners of a clear area (minimum 9x9) create a landing pad. Spacecraft usually land on pads if possible. Shuttle A spacer-tech shuttle designed for transit between surface and orbit, or between moons of a planetary system. Small altar A small platform that plays a role in ideoligious rituals. Smoke spewer An ultratech weapon of mass destruction designed for area denial. By harvesting available compounds and converting them into self-reproducing opaque molecules, it can spew enough smoke to block the sun in a whole region of the planet.

Tool cabinet Increases work speed when placed near a workbench. One workbench can use up to two tool cabinets. Toxic spewer An ultratech weapon of mass destruction designed for area denial. This device harvests available compounds and converts them into self-reproducing poisons. By spewing these into the atmosphere, it can poison a whole region of the planet. Transport pod A launchable sub-orbital cargo pod capable of carrying people, items, or animals. Can be used for sending gifts, transporting people or supplies, surprise attacks, or reinforcing battles. Urn An ancient-style decorative container. Vitals monitor Increases medical tend quality, surgery success chance, and immunity gain speed when placed directly adjacent to a hospital bed. Only works for hospital beds - normal beds will not benefit. Attaching more than one vitals monitor to the same bed will have no effect. Weather controller An ultratech device for controlling weather. Using chemicals and exotic fields, it forces the weather into a particular configuration.

Power
Battery Stores electricity for later use. Charged batteries explode when exposed to rain or fire. Bioferrite generator An electrical generator that works by pressurizing and igniting bioferrite, then harvesting energy from the resulting heat. Because of the destruction of psychically active bioferrite, this device generates an uncomfortable psychic drone which disturbs those who pass nearby. Chemfuel powered generator Produces power by consuming chemfuel. Must be periodically refueled by hand. Geothermal generator Produces electricity from geothermal steam geysers. Must be placed on a steam geyser. Hidden conduit Hidden electrical cables for moving power around. They're tougher than regular conduits, but also slower to build and more expensive. Power conduit A bundle of electrical cables for moving power around. Can be placed under walls and other buildings. Power switch Switches power on/off. Solar generator Produces electricity from sunlight. Does not work in the dark or under artificial light. Toxifier generator This electrical generator very slowly pollutes the terrain in a radius around it while producing energy. If all terrain in the radius is polluted, the generator will shut down. Unstable power cell A mechanoid power generation unit. The vanometric power core will run forever, extracting energy from quantum foam fluctuations. An internal amplifier system makes it unstable. If damaged, the unit will generate a massive explosion. Some brave humans steal these from mechanoids for their own use as power plants or defensive bombs. However, an unintentional detonation can be devastating. Vanometric power cell Generates free energy, forever, without using fuel. This technology is developed by archotechs, and is beyond even most glitterworld societies. While nobody knows exactly how it works, scholars believe it somehow extracts energy directly from fluctuations in the quantum foam. Watermill generator Produces electricity from a river. Must be placed with its wheel in moving water. If watermills are placed too close together, the turbulence they generate will interfere and reduce power generation. Waterproof conduit Insulated electrical cables for transmitting power under shallow water. Wind turbine A wind-powered electrical generator. Requires a large clear space in front and behind for optimal air flow. Wood-fired generator Produces power by consuming wood. Must be periodically loaded with wood fuel by hand.
