War queen

Summary

War queens are mechanoids. They do not eat and are immune to toxic fallout and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. Like all mechanoids, they are vulnerable to EMP attacks. Warqueens have a 45% EMP resistance, meaning they are stunned for 45% less time.

As an enemy

You can summon a hostile War queen with a mechanitor and a mechband antenna, which requires the Basic Mechtech research. Summoning the war queen destroys the antenna. However, they are not exclusive to summoning, as strong enough mechanoid raids may feature one or even multiple.

When summoned, it will be accompanied by other mechanoids. The amount of other mechanoids depends on how many times you have summoned a War quee before, but is independent of wealth, time, or colony progress. They will crash down in a ship after a random amount of time ranging from a few in game hours to days. They will not attack immediately, but will instead act like a raid and "prepare" before launching their assault.

Defeating a hostile War queen rewards the player with a Powerfocus chip, regardless of source. One is required to research High Mechtech, and they can also be used to create various mechanitor gear.

As an ally

? The War queen is an ultra-heavy mechanoid. It takes up 5 bandwidth. It recharges at a large mech recharger and creates 25 wastepacks whenever the recharger's waste meter fills.

Analysis

? A terrifying mechanoid with a built-in mech gestator. The war queen can gestate small war urchin combat mechs inside its massive carapace and deploy them into combat. Given time to build up numbers, a war queen can overwhelm any opponent with dozens of war urchins. The war queen demands respect - failing to destroy it quickly could have devastating consequences as it grows its swarm and overruns your colony.
