Tesseron

A tesseron is a mechanoid added by the Biotech DLC.

Summary

As mechanoids, tesseron 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 will spawn dormant outside of a raid. They will be stunned by EMP attacks and will "adapt" for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs), rendering them immune to further EMP strikes. Mechs do not count as a pawn for determining raid points, but still contribute towards wealth.

As an enemy

As an ally

Tesserons are medium mechanoids, and require High Mechtech to be researched. They are created from a standard mech gestator with 1 high subcore, 110 plasteel, and 7 component, taking up 3 bandwidth from a mechanitor. They take 1800 ticks to initally craft, and then it must gestate for 2(?) cycles. Mechanoids can be fully repaired at the cost of power and nothing else. A dead tessron can be resurected for 50 steel and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant.

Mechs under player control require power: tesserons 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 mech recharger (200W), for 50% power/day, creating 15 wastepacks whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

Combat

Tesserons use the beam graser. This weapon fires a laser that attacks pawns as it travels through multiple different types, dealing beam-type damage

Tesserons have a base shooting accuracy of 96%, equivalent to a pawn with a Shooting skill of 8. They have a melee hit chance of 62%, equivalent to a pawn with a Melee skill of 4.
