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

== Summary ==
{{Mechanoid Summary}}

===Work===
Lifters are light mechanoids. Mechs count as a partial pawn in terms of [[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 lifter can be resurected for 25 [[steel]] and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant.

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.

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 of a baseline human.

== 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. However, lifters require [[Research#Electricity|Electricity]] and a [[mechanitor]] to function, and create [[pollution]]. Meanwhile, carriers are available from the neolithic era.
