| + | {{PAGENAME}}s are light mechanoids. They are created from a standard [[mech gestator]] with {{Required Resources}}, taking up 1 [[bandwidth]] from a [[mechanitor]]. They take 1800 [[ticks]] to initally craft, and then it must gestate for 1 [[gestation cycle]]. Mechanoids can be fully repaired at the cost of power and nothing else. A dead agrihand can be resurrected for {{icon small|steel}} 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.

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 additional crops, even if all your human growers are [[injury|injured]] or otherwise [[mood|grumpy]]. |
| − | Agrihands are useful 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 maximize the return off the finite space.

With an [[allowed area]] set, agrihands should never get into combat, so they can remain operational no matter how damaged your colonists may be. |
As mechanoids are immune to toxicity, agrihands are especially helpful for growing [[toxipotato]]es and other plants in polluted soil - which you may cause by using mechanoids in the first place. | As mechanoids are immune to toxicity, agrihands are especially helpful for growing [[toxipotato]]es and other plants in polluted soil - which you may cause by using mechanoids in the first place. | ||

There's nothing stopping you from using both human and mech labor, or using mechs so that a human grower has more time for other tasks. But other than the [[pollution]] cost, mechs may create [[wealth management|too much]] yield, too much to actually use (even [[trader]]s have silver limits). | There's nothing stopping you from using both human and mech labor, or using mechs so that a human grower has more time for other tasks.
