− | + | As mechanoids, paramedics 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. | |

− | + | Paramedics are light mechanoids, and require [[Research#High Mechtech|High mechtech]] to be researched. 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. A dead paramedic can be resurected for 25 [[steel]] and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant. | |

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

== Analysis == | == Analysis == | ||
− | + | Because of their slow base work speed, paramedics are often a poor choice for tending a pawn in imminent danger. If you have a pawn with more Medical skill, surgeries should also be left to humans. Paramedics can't be controlled, but humans can. As only one pawn can tend to a specific person, order humans to patients with priority. | |
− | |||
− | + | However, with a whole squad of injured pawns, paramedics are potentially vital in managing the entire group. With a [[mech booster]] in your hospital and some [[control sublink (standard)|control sublink]]s, paramedics can even work faster than a human - before considering skill. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | The mechanitor requirement of a long jump is restrictive, limiting its ability to be escape dangerous situations. Position your mechanitors wisely; you don't want them [[downed]], but you want them close enough for paramedics (and combat mechs) to be effective. | |
− | + | With their firefoam pack and natural immunity to fire and heat, paramedics excel at firefighting. Paramedics can help cool off a burning building, which would be otherwise be too hot to firefight in. Paramedics are also useful for extricating a pawn in fire, when you want to preserve it, such as when burning an [[insectoid]] nest. | |

− | + | As medical duties typically aren't needed on a daily basis, you can keep paramedics dormant. Turn them on whenever combat or a large outbreak of [[disease]] hits. This analysis assumes that the [[mechanitor]] is conscious to turn them on -- a lone mechanitor should have one always ready, for example. Note that paramedics will feed prisoners as part of their work routines, which can help free up time for one's Wardens. | |
