Mechanoid hive

"Mechanoids - Autonomous intelligent robots built for domestic, industrial or military purposes. Only available to advanced cultures because such complex AI is needed to control them."

Centipede

"Heavy combat mechanoids that glide on dozens of tiny legs. Their heavy armor and firepower makes them very effective against bunched-up static defenders. They are somewhat vulnerable to mobile hit-and-run tactics."

— In-game description

Biology

Centipedes appear to consist entirely of mechanical parts, and are mostly composed of very large 'rings' that make their appearance similar to that of a real-life centipede. Despite being somewhat sluggish (in movement and appearance), they are immensely durable and can absorb a significant amount of fire before they are even disabled or killed.

Centipedes have six body rings, several sensors for hearing, sight, and smell, and an artificial brain that drives them. Interestingly enough, they lack any sort of communication parts and always spawn with their communication indicated as 'None', or no ability to. The only other external body part a centipede has other than its rings is its head, making it very difficult to actually kill a centipede.

Diet

Centipedes are machines, and machines don't need to eat - but they do need some source of power.

Currently, it is unknown what power source or other source of energy the Centipede uses.

Combat

Centipedes are generally equipped with either a Minigun, Inferno Cannon, or Heavy Charge Blaster on semi-rare occasions, but are also able to engage in melee combat with colonists.
