| − | + | As mechanoids, agrihands are immune to [[fire]], toxicity, and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature. They do not need to eat, rest, and have no mood. They will be stunned by [[EMP]] attacks and will "adapt" for {{Ticks|2200}}, rendering them immune to further EMP strikes. Mechs do not count as a pawn for determining [[raid points]], but still contribute towards wealth. | |
| − | + | {{PAGENAME}}s are light mechanoids. They are created from a standard [[mech gestator]] with 1 [[basic subcore]] and 50 [[steel]], taking up 1 [[bandwidth]] from a [[mechanitor]]. They take 1800 [[ticks]] to initally craft, and then it must gestate for 1 cycle. Mechanoids can be fully repaired at the cost of power and nothing else. A dead agrihand can be resurected for 25 [[steel]] and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant. | |

Mechs under player control require power: agrihands use 10% of their power per day while active. If set to dormant self-charging, they instead recharge for +1% power / day, without pollution. They recharge in a [[mech recharger]] (constant 200W), for 50% power/day, creating 5 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up. | Mechs under player control require power: agrihands use 10% of their power per day while active.

| − | + | Agrihands are fairly simple, increasing the number of crops you can grow and harvest at any one time. With 10 plants skill, they can grow any crop, and as a 24/7 worker, they can allow your colony to grow and harvest a substantial number of crops. | |

| − | There's nothing stopping you from using both human and mech labor, | + | However, with a [[Plant Work Speed]] of 40% and [[Plant Harvest Yield]] of 102%, their harvest yield, both per plant and per day, can be outstripped by skilled human growers. Humans can become even more efficent if they are equipped with [[field hand]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}, have the [[Ideoligion#Plants specialist|Plants specialist role]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, and for drugs, the [[Ideoligion#Drug_use|Drug Use:Essential]] precept. There's nothing stopping you from using both human and mech labor, though other than the [[pollution]] cost, it may be [[wealth management|too much]] yield. |
| − | + | Therefore, they are a tradeoff - agrihands can fill the gap if pawn time, or pawns with enough skill, are limited. In other words: useful if you need to grow more crops. If grow area is limited, then using a human with >10 skill will maximise the return off the finite space. Ideally, you could use both planters and agrihands outside of harvest, and have the mechs enter dormancy during the harvest. You can set a [[zone]] for agrihands if you need a specific area sowed or cut. | |

| − | + | As mechanoids are immune to toxicity, agrihands are especially useful for growing [[toxipotato]]es and other plants in polluted soil - which you may cause by using mechanoids in the first place. | |
