'''Insectoids''' are an ecosystem of genetically engineered insect-like [[animals]] that function, in part, like a permanently hostile [[faction]]. The insectoids that populate this faction are slow-moving, melee-only animals that are themselves are not always automatically hostile to colonists, but can be a serious surprise threat to any colony when encountered during an [[infestation]]. | '''Insectoids''' are an ecosystem of genetically engineered insect-like [[animals]] that function, in part, like a permanently hostile [[faction]].

Uniquely, insectoids experience [[hypothermic slowdown]] instead of [[hypothermia]]. They have 0 [[Toxic Sensitivity]], rendering them immune to [[toxic buildup]] from any source. When butchered, they give [[insect meat]], which is disgusting for humans to eat. |
− | + | As part of an [[infestation]], they are a "faction" that is hostile to every other faction in the world. They will mantain [[hive]]s, which, if left untampered with, will produce more insectoids - as well as [[insect jelly]]. Hostile insectoids may also be found in [[Ancient shrine|ancient structure]]s and the [[ancient cryptosleep casket]]s inside them. Unlike other raiders, and because they are animals, insectoids don't have any ranged attacks. However, their decent armor and sheer mass of their force make them extreme threats if not handled properly. | |

− | Infestations | + | Infestations that don't see enemies may be "triggered" via hostile actions, such as [[mortar]]s or [[trap]]s. Once triggered, they'll rush towards a random direction up to 100 tiles away, attempting to find other hostiles. Any tile they use to sleep will reset their range. They move slowly, attack directly and mindlessly, so are vulnerable to to more sophisticated tactics like kiting. Insectoids will mine through walls and rock. |
− | + | [[Megascarab]]s may be found in the wild in the desert or extreme desert [[biome]]s, where they are not hostile until attacked. All insectoids may be tamed, but the others will always start hostile, it is a very difficult task which often requires [[downed|downing]] them. | |

The purpose of the modification is known however - they were intended to act as artificial ecosystem of insectoids designed to fight mechanoid invasions.<ref name="Megascarab Description">[[Megascarab]] description</ref> Given the past tense used in the source, it is possible that the current insectoid ecosystem seen on the rimworld does not function as originally designed. Notably however, [[mechanoids]] and insectoids do remain permanently hostile to each other, a fact that can occasionally be exploited.</onlyinclude> | The purpose of the modification is known however - they were intended to act as artificial ecosystem of insectoids designed to fight mechanoid invasions.<ref name="Megascarab Description">[[Megascarab]] description</ref> Given the past tense used in the source, it is possible that the current insectoid ecosystem seen on the rimworld does not function as originally designed.
