Mech gestation processor

Mech gestation processor

An implant which increses 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. The implant can be self-installed in the same way as the mech link. The implant can be installed up to 6 times to increase its effect.

Mech gestation processor are artificial body parts added by the Biotech DLC that increase Mech Gestation Speed of a mechanitor.

Acquisition[edit]

Mech gestation processors can be crafted at a machining table once the Standard mechtech research project has been completed. Note that this research requires a signal chip to unlock. Each requires Signal chip 1 Signal chip, Component 6 Components, 3,200 ticks (53.33 secs) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 6.

Summary[edit]

Each mech gestation processor increases Mech Gestation Speed of the implanted mechanitor by +33%. Up to 6 processors can be installed in each mechanitor's brain. Each processor stacks additively as if it were +33.3̅3̅%, with the end result rounded down.

Installation[edit]

Any Mechanitor with Mechlink installed, can install the Mech gestation processor by themselves, it takes roughly 3 seconds to implant, no surgery needed.

Analysis[edit]

As Mechanitors in your colony can exchange Mechanoids with each other, it makes sense for the gestation to be managed by the Mechanitor who has the implant, and then your other Mechanitors can take control of the mechanoids.
