Mechlink Def Name: MechlinkImplant Label: mechlink	A bionic implant that allows direct control of mechanoids. Mechlinks are used by soldiers to control war mechs, and by workers to control labor mechs. A person with a mechlink is known as a mechanitor. Mechlinks are self-installable. Pressed into the back of the throat, the unit injects itself through the flesh to clamp inside the base of the skull where it meets the spinal cord. There, it threads a web of ultrafine wires throughout nearby neuronal tissue to make the direct mental link between the user and the mechanoid control band. Mechlinks are not simply devices for sending radio signals to mechanoids, because mechanoids are not merely robots. In addition to traditional computers, mechanoids have a dim psychic presence, so fluently controlling them requires a psychic connection. By linking mechanitor and mechanoid both psychically and electromagnetically, the mechlink permits deeper control than screen-and-button interfaces. Since the mechlink interlaces deep within the brain tissue, it can only be removed after death. Note: A mechanitor must be capable of smithing work to gestate mechanoids. A bionic implant that allows direct control of mechanoids. Can only be removed after death.

Band node (tuned) Def Name: BandNode Label: band node (tuned)	This mechanitor's bandwidth is being increased thanks to the influence of a band node structure.	Hediff Class: Hediff_BandNode Is Bad: false	-
Control sublink Def Name: ControlSublinkImplant Label: control sublink	An implant which increases a mechanitor's control group count and the work speed of a mechanitor's mechs. This implant can be installed up to 6 times to increase its effect.

Remote repairer Def Name: RemoteRepairerImplant Label: remote repairer	A mechlink upgrade which allows the mechanitor to repair mechs from a distance. The user links with the mechanoid and uses their own brain to psychically guide its self-repair mechanites. This implant can be installed up to 3 times to increase its range. An implant which allows the user to repair mechs from a distance. This can be installed up to 3 times. Description Hyperlinks: View: Remote repairer	Hediff Class: Hediff_Level Default Label Color: Is Bad: false Price Impact: true Initial Severity: 1 (Severity is bound to level of implant) Min Severity: 0 Max Severity: 3 Keep On Body Part Restoration: True Level Is Quantity: true Duplication Allowed: false Comps: Give Ability Ability Defs: Remote repair	Label Parameters x1 Min Severity: 1 Mech Remote Repair Distance Offset: +7.9 (cells) x2 Min Severity: 2 Mech Remote Repair Distance Offset: +13.9 (cells) x3 Min Severity: 3 Mech Remote Repair Distance Offset: +19.9 (cells)
Mech gestation processor Def Name: MechFormfeederImplant Label: mech gestation processor	An implant which increases the speed at which a mechanitor can produce mechs in a mech gestator. The processor optimizes the behavior of the mechanites in the mech forming tank. This implant can be self-installed in the same way as the mechlink. This implant can be installed up to 6 times to increase its effect. An implant which lets a mechanitor gestate new mechs faster. This can be installed up to 6 times to increase the effect.

Remote shielder Def Name: RemoteShielderImplant Label: remote shielder	An implant which allows the mechanitor to place a personal defense shield on a mech. The mechanitor must continuously focus on the mech in order to maintain the shield. It can be used to save a mech at a critical moment. This implant can be installed up to 3 times to increase its range and shield energy. Description Hyperlinks: View: Remote shielder	Hediff Class: Hediff_Level Default Label Color: Is Bad: false Price Impact: true Initial Severity: 1 (Severity is bound to level of implant) Min Severity: 0 Max Severity: 3 Keep On Body Part Restoration: True Level Is Quantity: true Duplication Allowed: false Comps: Give Ability Ability Defs: Remote shield	Label Parameters x1 Min Severity: 1 Mech Remote Shield Distance Offset: +7.9 (cells) Mech Remote Shield Energy Offset: +75 HP x2 Min Severity: 2 Mech Remote Shield Distance Offset: +13.9 (cells) Mech Remote Shield Energy Offset: +150 HP x3 Min Severity: 3 Mech Remote Shield Distance Offset: +19.9 (cells) Mech Remote Shield Energy Offset: +225 HP
Repair probe Def Name: RepairProbeImplant Label: repair probe	An implant which increases a mechanitor's mech repair speed. This does not affect the overall energy needed to repair a mechanoid. The implant allows the mechanitor to plug directly into a mechanoid while repairing it and better-direct the mech's self-repair mechanites. This implant can be installed up to 6 times to increase its effect. An implant which lets a mechanitor repair mechs faster. This can be installed up to 6 times.
