Centipede burners are a variant of centipede that wield the inferno cannon.
Summary
As mechanoids, centipedes are immune to fire, toxicity, and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature. They do not need to eat, rest, and have no mood. They will be stunned by EMP attacks and will "adapt" for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs), starting from the stun, rendering them immune to further EMP strikes. Centipedes have a Psychic Sensitivity of 75%, reducing the effect of some psycasts.
Combat
Centipede burners are always equipped with a inferno cannon. It creates fire. They are also able to engage in (less effective) melee combat with colonists.
| Melee Attacks | Damage Amount | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|
| Blunt | 11.7 | 2.6 sec |
The inferno cannon has a Forced Miss Radius of 3.5 tiles, where they will always land. They have a melee hit chance of 62%, equivalent to a pawn with a Melee skill of 4.

Centipede burners are heavy mechanoids; burners require High Mechtech to be created. They require 255 Steel, 255 Plasteel, 8 Components, 1 High subcore and 4 bandwidth from a mechanitor. They take 1800 ticks to initally craft, and then it must gestate for 6 cycles. Mechanoids can be fully repaired at the cost of power and nothing else. A dead centipede can be resurected for 100 steel and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant.
Mechs under player control require power: centipedes 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 large mech recharger (constant 400W), for 50% power/day, creating 20 wastepacks whenever the recharger's waste is filled up. Mechs do not count as a pawn for determining raid points, but still contribute towards wealth.
