[[Band node]]s stop working when the [[Events#Solar Flare|power goes out]], and [[apparel]] items will degrade when damaged and over time. Bandwidth packs never deteriorate when worn and do not require power. So long as the mechanitor wears the pack and remains alive, it will persist forever. |
The ability to field 9 bandwidth worth of mechanoids is certainly powerful. Almost any dedicated mechanitor should acquire a bandwidth pack eventually. The loss of the utility slot can be made up for by fielding additional mechanoids. Further, as mechanitors become more specialized, they will likely also equip the mechanitor armor and apparel, which either offers no protection or actively degrades the mechanitors combat skill. As such, they can take more and more of a backline approach to combat and allow their mechanoids and other colonists to carry the battle. | The ability to field 9 bandwidth worth of mechanoids is certainly powerful.
