− | + | {{PAGENAME}}s are light mechanoids, and require the [[Research#Basic Mechtech|Basic Mechtech]]. Mechs in general count as a partial pawn in terms [[raid points]], and still contribute towards wealth. | |

− | + | 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 cycle. Mechanoids can be fully repaired at the cost of power and nothing else. A dead cleansweeper can be resurected for 25 [[steel]] and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant. | |

Mechs under player control require power: cleansweepers 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: cleansweepers use 10% of their power per day while active.

− | + | Cleanswepers [[clean]], at 50% of a base human's speed. They can't be manually controlled, except when drafted for combat. Like other pawns, they can only clean in the designated [[home area]]. They also move slower than a human, at 3.4 cells/s. | |

You may want to utilize [[zone]]s to control where the cleansweeper cleans, forcing them to only clean high-importance areas (such as kitchens or hospitals), or limiting access to low-value areas (such as barns or hallways filled with spike traps). If multiple cleansweepers are used, it is generally not advisable to separate each cleansweeper into its own individual zones as this will allow rooms to get dirty while they're charging. Instead, at least two should overlap each area to ensure at least one mech is active and to prevent wasting uptime when one area is clean and the other is not. This is most important in rooms such as hospitals and kitchens where even short spikes in filth can cause significant issues. For other rooms, average cleanliness is an acceptable goal. | You may want to utilize [[zone]]s to control where the cleansweeper cleans, forcing them to only clean high-importance areas (such as kitchens or hospitals), or limiting access to low-value areas (such as barns or hallways filled with spike traps).

Conversely, | + | If you have an excess of human labor, then the mech might be redundant. However, this could also mean you haven't assigned enough tasks. Conversely, they are most valuable when colonists are in short supply, such as in [[Scenario_system#The_Mechanitor|The Mechanitor]] start. Cleaners also have the advantage of working longer, and not being impacted by mood itself - it won't be bothered by [[corpse]]s, for example. |
An extra hand is also helpful after combat. If many of your colonists are injured, then there'll be many stacks of blood. Blood is dirty, lowering medical chances, and hurts colonist mood because it's ugly. In these situations, you likely won't have the manpower to clean everything up. Thus, cleansweepers can prevent mood and [[mental break]] spirals after a particularly damaging raid | An extra hand is also helpful after combat.
