Subcore encoder

Subcore encoder
A work station where a mechanitor can produce basic-tier subcores. Subcores are the brains of mechanoids, and one is required to produce any mechanoid. Basic subcores can only be used in simple basic-tier mechs.
Higher tier subcores can be created by building a subcore softscanner or a subcore ripscanner.

The subcore encoder is a building added by the Biotech DLC that allows for the creation of basic subcores.
Acquisition
Subcore encoder can be constructed once the Basic mechtech research project has been completed. They require 100 Steel, 3 Components, 8,000 ticks (2.22 mins) of work, and a Construction skill of 4.
Summary
The subcore encoder takes 150 W of power. Its only purpose is to form a basic subcore, an ingredient used for the gestation of the following mechanoids:

Analysis
? The subcore encoder can be obtained either by starting your save as a Mechanitor or by unlocking the Basic Mechtech research. The encoder can always be built by a constructoid but will require a pawn with high enough construction skill if one is not available.
