Scorchers will charge at the player, then try to stay at maximum range. Due to the short-ranged nature of their weapon, this behavior is somewhat counterproductive - see [[#Combat]] for more detail. | Scorchers will charge at the player, then try to stay at maximum range.

Mechanoids can raid the player's base through [[events]], and are found in most [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]], [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]], and [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}. Scorchers are a fairly low level threat, but can be dangerous with other mechs. | Mechanoids can raid the player's base through [[events]], and are found in most [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]], [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]], and [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}.

+ | They are created from a [[large mech gestator]] with {{Required Resources}}, taking up 1 [[bandwidth]] from a [[mechanitor]]. They take 1800 [[ticks]] to initially craft, and then it must gestate for 2 [[gestation cycle]]s. Mechanoids can be fully repaired at the cost of power and nothing else. A dead scorcher can be resurrected for 50 [[steel]] and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant. | ||

Mechs under player control require power: scorchers 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 [[large mech recharger]] (400W), for 50% power/day, creating 5 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up. | Mechs under player control require power: scorchers use 10% of their power per day while active.

Scorchers are equipped with a [[mini-flameblaster]]. With a range of just 4.9 tiles, it is the shortest ranged weapon in the entire game. However, it has the unique property of being able to ''fire during melee combat''. Enemies are able to do so but do not actively take advantage of this fact. | Scorchers are equipped with a [[mini-flameblaster]].

Earlier on, scorchers are also decent out in the open - but a few scorchers won't be enough to suppress a large tribal raid. | Earlier on, scorchers are also decent out in the open - but a few scorchers won't be enough to suppress a large tribal raid. | ||
