Mech Bandwidth
| This article relates to content added by Biotech (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled. |
Mech Bandwidth is a stat: How much bandwidth a mechanitor has. More bandwidth allows a mechanitor to produce and control more mechs at the same time.
Losing bandwidth means losing control of mechs, leaving them without an overseer. Such mechs can eventually become feral if not re-dominated. Its minimum allowed value is 0. Its default value is 0.
This stat is only shown on pawns with the hediff of the same name from an installed Mechlink, and thus the +6 bandwidth added by the mechlink can be considered the default value. This stat is simply irrelevant if a pawn is without a mechlink, which is what allows a pawn to be a mechanitor in the first place.
Offsets[edit]
- Hediffs
- Mechlink[1]: +6
- Band node (tuned): +1 per each tuned and powered Band node
Equipped Gear:
| Apparel | Offset | Layer |
|---|---|---|
| +3 | Headgear | |
| +6 | Headgear | |
| +9 | Headgear | |
| +6 | Headgear | |
| +12 | Headgear | |
| +12 | Middle, Outer | |
| +9 | Belt | |
| +15 | Belt |
Analysis[edit]
All bonuses are additive. The Airwire headset (+3), Array headset (+6), Integrator headset (+9), Mechcommander helmet (+6), and Mechlord helmet (+12) all occupy the headgear layer, and so only one offset can be benefitted from at a time. The Bandwidth pack only has an alternative in the Cerebrex node
if the Odyssey DLC is active and the main questline is completed in a specific way, and only one can ever be obtained. The Mechlord suit (+12) alone occupies non overlapping areas and thus can be worn together with any other combination of choice. An unlimited number of Band nodes (+1) can be tuned to a mechanitor, although space, power, and resource cost are limiting factors.
Therefore, the maximum bandwidth possible without band nodes is acquired with a mechlink, bandwidth pack, mechlord helmet and mechlord suit for a total of 39 for builds only reliant on the Biotech DLC. With the Odyssey DLC, the cerebrex node replaces the bandwidth pack for a total of 45.
