A crashed ship part, accompanied by fire, appears at a random unroofed location when the Ancient Ship Crash event triggers. This ship part contains a hostile AI persona core that emits a psychic drone that negatively affects the mood of all humans on the map. This drone begins low, but grows progressively stronger the longer the ship part remains, therefore it is advisable to destroy the part as quickly as possible. A colonist's psychic sensitivity traits may worsen or lessen the effect of the drone. The AI is also capable of emitting concentrated bursts of psychic energy, driving one colonist to an immediate mental break, or a localized blast that drives all animals in the immediate vicinity insane. Upon attacking the part however, a group of mechanoids will emerge to defend the crashed ship part and its AI core. The size of the group is dependent on colony wealth and storyteller difficulty.
| Psychic drone (level) | Mood effect | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Low | -7 | It's like a scratching at the back of my mind. A voice, whispering. I can only make out a few words, and I don't like them. |
| Medium | -15 | I feel like someone is always just out of sight, speaking to me. The voice changes but the message doesn't. I'm supposed to hurt people. Make it go away! |
| High | -25 | The voice is unbearably loud. It's hard to concentrate. I find myself talking back to it, yelling at it. But it just keeps shouting! |
| Extreme | -50 | My heart pounds and I'm sweating. All I can think of is hurting and suffering and all these enemies around me. They're my nightmare, my nightmare, my nightmare... |
Hi wiki editors and everyone who sees this before they change it, sorry for the bad edit but I've come upon another variant of these, the default seems to be always psychic but there is also a "Crashed poison ship part". Not sure if anyone checks talk pages yet on this wiki, so just letting you know, and here are a few screens. The edit page says to upload files internally but it seems I can't get a link to the file upload without an account. imgur dot com/a/0khLw
Another drive-by edit by anon on the subject of a crashed poison ship. Confirming existence. Got 230 steel and 120 silver after vanquishing defenders and destroying it.
