A legionary is a mechanoid added by the Biotech DLC.
Summary
As mechanoids, legionaries are immune to fire, toxicity, and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature. They do not need to eat, rest, and have no mood. Enemy mechs do not require power, though may spawn dormant. They will be stunned by EMP attacks and will "adapt" for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs), rendering them immune to further EMP strikes.
As an ally
Legionaries are medium mechanoids, requiring Ultra Mechtech to be researched. They are created from a large mech gestator with 1 high subcore, 100 plasteel, and 6 components, taking up 2 bandwidth from a mechanitor. They take 1800 ticks to initally craft, and then it must gestate for 4 cycles. Mechanoids can be fully repaired at the cost of power and nothing else. A dead legionary can be resurected for 50 steel and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant. Mechs do not count as a pawn for determining raid points, but still contribute towards wealth.
Mechs under player control require power: legionaries use 10% of their power per day while active. If set to dormant self-charging, they instead recharge for 1% power / day, without pollution. They recharge in a large mech recharger (400W), for 50% power/day, creating 10 wastepacks whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.
Combat
Legionaries use the needle gun - the same weapon as a pikeman. The needle gun is a rather weak, but very long range weapon.
They come with a small low-shield, roughly 2 tiles in radius.[Mechanics?] It blocks incoming, but not outgoing projectiles. It has 200 health and recharges at 25% per second, but is instantly broken by any source of EMP.
Analysis
As an enemy
- Cannon is weak, but don't underestimate it. It's still strong enough to destroy vulnerable organs, including the brain.
- EMP works well to break the shield, if you can get close enough at all. Legionaries are often surrounded by powerful mechanoids due to their advanced nature.
As an ally
At least for combat, legionaries are a practical upgrade to pikemen. With the same gun, a much faster movement speed, only slightly less health, and the shield, legionaries are great at doing the long range duties that the colony needs. Examples include interupting a siege or picking off preparing raiders. If you already have Ultra Mechtech, legionaries have the same weight class, the same bandwidth, and only cost slightly more (including 1 human life).
