A '''lifter''' is a [[mechanoids|mechanoid]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
{{PAGENAME}}s can be gestated by a [[mechanitor]] at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}} and {{P|Gestation Cycles}} [[gestation cycle]] taking {{ticks|1800}} each to initiate. They take up {{P|Bandwidth}} [[bandwidth]] from their linked mechanitor.

Dead, friendly {{lc:{{PAGENAME}}}}s can also be resurrected at the {{lc:{{P|Production Facility 1}}}} using the "''Resurrect light mechanoid''" bill. This requires the corpse of the friendly {{PAGENAME}}, {{Icon Small|Steel||25}} [[steel]], and 1 [[gestation cycle]] taking {{ticks|1800}} to initiate.

== Summary ==
{{Mechanoid Summary}}

Dead lifters may be shredded at the [[machining table]] or [[crafting spot]] for {{Icon Small|Steel||10}} [[steel]]. However, these values are affected by [[Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency|mechanoid shredding efficiency]], as well as missing parts on the lifter.

=== Combat ===
Lifters can only make melee attacks. They have a [[melee hit chance]] of 62%, equivalent to a pawn with a [[Melee]] skill of 4.

As a labor-focused mech, lifters are never found in mechanoid [[raid]]s.

=== As an ally ===
Mechs under player control require power: lifters 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]] (200W), for 50% power/day, creating 5 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up.

===Work===
Lifters will do all tasks under the [[Hauling|Haul tab]]. Other than bringing items to other places, Lifters can also re-arm turrets, reinstall buildings, and more. Lifters move at {{P|Move Speed Base}} cells/s, which is roughly {{%|{{P|Move Speed Base}}/{{Q|Human|Move Speed Base}} round 2}} as fast as a baseline human.

You can also have them cut down trees when there's a construction blueprint on top, so if you don't have an Agrihand, but have to get trees, you can place some concrete blueprints on top of trees. Same can be done with [[Constructoid|Constructoids]].

== Analysis ==
Lifters have the benefits of being a mechanoid - they aren't human, and will constantly haul until they run out of power. While lifters move slower than colonists or [[animal]]s, they spend the entirety of their time hauling. At minimum, mechs will work for 83% of the time (5 days of work, 1 day recharge, minus travel time), and they can be turned off when not required. Their lack of [[mood]] is useful for picking up far away items and [[electric crematorium|cremating]] human [[corpse]]s. 

Finally, they are cheap to produce and amass. Their disposability is a unique benefit - you can have lifters pick up items near the map edge, and won't lose much if [[Randy Random|Randy]] decides to drop a pack of [[manhunter]]s right on top of them.

===Comparison to dryads===
Compared to the [[Carrier]] [[dryad]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, lifters move faster and are created faster. Carriers need to sleep, so lifters can work for longer before needing to charge. Carriers require active pruning, while lifters are autonomous from their master. You can turn off a lifter when hauling isn't required, but you need to keep pruning the gauranlen tree every day. However, lifters require [[Research#Electricity|Electricity]] and a [[mechanitor]] to function, and create [[pollution]]. Meanwhile, carriers are available from the neolithic era.
