Mechanitors may be a little bit overpowered, but in my opinion it doesn't matter, the journey yours pawns went through to achieve that power is what really matters.

[@arandomthingintheabyss2062]

Reminds me of project zomboid it about how you character dies and the journey they had to get there

[@Noobert]

It is a fun adventure indeed. Currently my favorite start us the mechanitor start

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

I think it's balanced with at least the mechinator start, because it's relying on a pawn who's happier alone also working alongside the fact that if you have a solar flare and eclipse double-team you, you're basically screwed to lose a few mechs. If part of a standard colony where you only need to use a few mechs to supplament your existing colonists though I def agree mechinator is pretty up there with modded psycasts and the like on power imbalance.

[@joewilson3393]

The vanilla ones aren't that bad, especially compared to what you can achieve through mods. I mean the Androids mod already had the service and war droids, and SRS had disposable combat pawns. And I haven't even mentioned the mods to enhance the new mechanators, like reviving enemy mechanoids as your own.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

@@joewilson3393 yeah, I use a few myself like Advanced Sublink, Mechinator Relays and additional mechinator implants for bandwith range and other bonuses. Sadly the only chip crafting mod I've felt was really decent was the ones tide to VFE-M and it's factories, the rest either feel too cheap or too expensive for needing Subcores.

[@Penguinmanereikel]

I think you mixed you mixed up the Softscanner and Ripscanner. The softscanner doesn't need to kill the pawn, and the highest tier needs ripscanner-made subcores

Yes someone pointed this out to me as well im going to make a part to to c9ver more stuff and correct that :)

I like how not once their waste packets were mentioned, making it the perfect noob trap

There are many ways to deal with them - craft genes or implants to become immune, shoot it to your enemy, burn it, neutralize them with a expensive building - or just put them in a caravan and drop it some way out.

The most important thing to note about mechanoids is even though they may be a bit slow at their job, *they never stop working.* It doesn't matter if your mechs are slow when they can work 9 days without breaks!

[@pinkliongaming8769]

They do have to charge occasionally

[@samuelcrow4701]

@@pinkliongaming8769 yea that why I said 9 days

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

A lot of mechanoid mods have also updated to Biotech access as well for the record, so there's plenty of extra mechanoid types to find yourself working with from the banal to, well, the superheavy walkers of Mechanoid Recon. I will however say that Mechanite Plague is perhaps the most OP to used with this, as you can craft Pure variants of the plague mechanoids found in the mod. All it takes is a few Pure Bursters to start absolute hordes of spawned bursters to appear during a humanoid raid, and setting it to animal or insectoid infection will result in basically constant defense as soon as you get a few enemies infected. Warcrimes never felt so rewarding.

Apocriton is not buildable by the player although it has paintable areas exclusive to the buildable ones, plan probably is changed halfway through due to balance concerns.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

Waster is easily the most OP xenotype for Mechanitor, as it removes one of the big concerns for mechanoids once you hit Hydroponics

[@TheBouregard]

Forget about militors, spam agrihands and constructors. They are better melee fighters and can spend the time between raids razing forests for wooden traps. 9 constructors alone will murder the first boss easily by simply melee locking him, while 9 militors will require a lot of micro.

[@kirbyis4ever]

Militors make great disposable troops. Instead of having your dedicated worker mechs getting hurt and being unable to work if they get harmed or killed you can just send the dedicated shotgunners. They'll tear apart people without armor very easily and if they DO get downed then it doesn't hurt your other capabilities.

[@lek8630]

ur comment just makes no sense

[@nekoz4984]

You can get the mech links trough quests too by the way :)

[@roque87]

Too rare it seems

[@thomasscroggs4410]

The basic labor mechanoids are not as fast, or as good, as a trained pawns. If you have a skilled enough constructor, for example, use them on any construction that has a quality rating and you will get better results than letting the skill-set mechanoid do it.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

IIRC the statline for skill mechs is 50% work speed malus and 10 skill max. They'll do most works and can do stuff like Masterworks rarely but they will 100% be outclassed for specialized craftpawns with equipment or mod additions (skill specializations for example). I think it's a nice balance if because that way solo mechinator isn't the most overpowered do everything ever, flesh and blood will always have more ingenuity and better equipment with the investment, and it's a good contrast between mechinator and the new child-based mechanics of the DLC.

[@theguy9208]

Mechanoids dont eat, sleap, or go on mental breaks, but they do things about half the speed of a pawn with 10 skill. Just like a roomba or robot lawn mower. Yes it is slower but you can do something else while they cut the grass and sweep the floors.

[@namvo3013]

Do not underestimate agrihand + fabricor power to print money. A drug lab run by those is much more efficient than human in term of maintaining cost.

[@samuelcrow4701]

If you have quarries the mining mechs become insanely powerful. Imagine something mining for 9 days straight and only needing a 2 day break.

[@awood8964]

Just know, for the newest among us, that mechs produce toxic waste for every time they recharge…..just one lifter produces 5 toxic waste per recharge. And since you can only stack 5 waste per area, if you have one lifter, it’s fine….but it builds up quickly the more mechs you have. And the stronger the mech….the more waste is produces per charge… for example a centipede produces 20 packs! 25 for the absolute strongest…..before you know it, you’ll have more pollution than you’ll know what to do with and it’s a constant stream of it. You have to keep said waste roofed and frozen to keep it from dissolving and the area will have to be huge to ensure you’ll have space…which means a huge power-draw just for trash.. There are ways to handle it of course. I’ve heard of people sending it away via caravan or cargo pod. Cargo pods are wasteful IMO. That’s a lot of steel just to get rid of trash. You’re trading valuable resources for garbage…caravans are great but time consuming and you can only dump in the same place once, by the time you return to that spot to dump more, the trash from before would have likely dissolved and dissolved waste makes a HUGE area of pollution…which causes toxic buildup in pawns. So to get to that same spot means your pawn and Animals would need to walk through that to dump again. That is, unless the map tiles behave differently when you leave something in a random unclaimed tile, im not 100% sure there, but assuming it works like an abandoned colony, what you leave behind will eventually deteriorate. There is also the atomizer which has huge drawbacks too….the research required to get it is huge…it’s not sustainable unless you have multiple which…good luck..it won’t be able to process the amount of waste you’re producing. Unless you only have a couple of mechs and plan on keeping it that way. Also dumping near another faction will lower their goodwill towards you….which causes raids or just bad things overall..so if you’re going to dump, dump away from everyone….or near your enemies. Oh…and you run the risk if attracting bugs with pollution…which are stimulated and energized by pollution. Do you want super bugs? Cause that’s how you get super bugs. Mechs have some huge advantages but also serious downsides and it’s important to look at them all. An army of mechs?..….I’d rather just have one or two little helpers here and there and maybe a guard. That alone is enough pollution for me to deal with. Now, a colony of wasters who thrive in pollution?…that could be a fun mech run.

[@korhol2065]

You could sidestep the issue by making a xenotype with the toxic build up immunity, though that’s up to you
