Acquisition
The Subcore softscanner can be constructed once Standard Mechtech is researched.
Summary
The subcore softscanner takes 150 W of power. Its only purpose is to form a standard subcore, an ingredient used for the gestation of Cleansweepers, Lancers, Pikemen, Scorchers, Scythers, and Tunnelers.
A standard subcore requires 50 Steel and 4 Components to create. Then, a human must sit in the scanner for 7,500 ticks (2.08 mins). The person then receives Scanning Sickness for 4 days, or 24,000 ticks (6.67 mins). This reduces Consciousness and Manipulation by x75% and causes a −8 mood penalty.
Analysis
Prisoners don't do work, so using them for the subcore scanner carries few penalties. Barring that, almost any colonist is suitable, as scanning sickness is not a terribly strong debuff.
Standard subcores are necessary to gestate a variety of more advanced mechanoids, such as the cleansweeper and scyther.
