| |
| | | | |
| − | ===Biology===
| + | {{List|Mechanoids|}} |
| − | Centipedes consist entirely of mechanical parts, and are mostly composed of very large 'rings' that make their appearance similar to that of a real-life centipede. Despite being somewhat sluggish (in movement and appearance), they are immensely durable and can absorb a significant amount of fire before they are killed. Like pirates, they have a hostile appearance to every faction in the world (including [[Ancient shrine|ancients]] and [[insectoids]]).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Centipedes have six body rings, several sensors for hearing, sight, and smell, and an artificial brain that drives them. Interestingly enough, they lack any sort of communication parts and always spawn with their communication indicated as 'None', or no ability to. The only other external body part a centipede has other than its rings is its head, making it very difficult to actually kill a centipede.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Diet===
| |
| − | Centipedes are machines, and machines don't need to eat - but they do need some source of power.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Currently, it is unknown what power source or other source of energy the Centipede uses.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Combat===
| |
| − | Centipedes are mechanized heavy siege units, and as such are equipped with either an [[inferno cannon]] or a [[heavy charge blaster]], but are also able to engage in melee combat with colonists.

| − | Centipedes are much less dangerous in melee range. If you have well-protected brawlers and are able to lock down all centipedes in melee range, that is highly beneficial. They won't be able to spray bullets everywhere. Eventually even well-protected brawlers will go down from pain due to multiple bruises, but it should not be fatal, and meanwhile they (and your gunners) should be able to more effectively deal damage to the centipedes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Body Parts (Summary)===
| |
| − | Centipedes are actually very simplistic and robust in design, with not that many parts overall. Their obvious weakness is that they're able to be severed in two, rapidly reducing their ability to move (which may eventually kill them).
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Note: Centipedes have a health scale of '''2.0''' - meaning their parts have twice the health of body parts listed in the files.

| − | '''Lancers''' are a type of fast-moving [[mechanoid]] with strong long-range firepower that deals 30 damage per hit. They can be found sealed in ancient ruins in all biomes, either spawned inside mountains or outside on the landscape. They may also raid the player's base through a random raid-type event and can also be found in most [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]] and [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Like other mechanoids, lancers are sentient machine-like creatures which do not need to eat, cannot be tamed or trained, and are always hostile to the colony. Lancers have a moderate resistance to sharp damage and a small resistance to blunt damage but somewhat low health, making them trivial to disable at range with sufficient firepower. Lancers are vulnerable to spike traps, with only a few hits required to kill them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Dead lancers may be shredded at the [[machining table]] or [[crafting spot]] for 15 [[steel]] though these values are affected by [[Mechanoid Shredding Efficiency|mechanoid shredding efficiency]] as well as missing parts on the lancer.

| − | Lancers will quickly charge until they are in range, at which point they will stay at maximum range to fire. They will not move around to seek cover, or avoid incoming fighters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The DPS of a lancer is low compared to a centipede or scyther, but their [[charge lance]] deals tremendous damage: enough to take out most limbs and organs in 1 hit if not wearing armor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As the description says, charging lancers can be a viable way to take them down, once you have taken care of any scythers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Biology===
| |
| − | Lancers, although mechanical and not very human-looking, are actually almost the same in structure as a typical human (minus the organs). However, they're more durable than humans, don't feel pain and ''do not fear for their life'' - they don't even use cover. This can make them very dangerous to fight against when under-armed.
| |
| − | They have two arms, run on two legs, and (surprisingly) have a neck and make vocal communication. Why a machine would use standard human-like air-based vocalization is unknown at this time - especially when Centipedes are completely unable to manually communicate.
| |

"Mechanoids - Autonomous intelligent robots built for domestic, industrial or military purposes. Only available to advanced cultures because such complex AI is needed to control them."
— RimWorld Universe Quick Primer
[1]
A small mechanoid designed to sow and harvest crops. While it is better suited to labor than combat, it can fight with built-in cutting blades if necessary.
A mechanoid commander designed to coordinate and motivate other mechs during long extermination campaigns. Its most obvious power is its ability to resurrect recently-killed mechs by supercharging their self-repair processes. Less obviously, it is intelligent and psychically present, radiating hatred into the minds of anyone in a wide radius. It can also move quickly with its built-in jump launcher.
While all mechanoids have a dim psychically-present intelligence, only the apocriton and a few others truly feel hatred for their victims and understand the suffering they inflict.
A self-powered turret mounted with a charge blaster. It cannot sense targets at very short ranges.
A self-powered turret mounted with an inferno cannon. It cannot sense targets at very short ranges.
A self-powered, self-loading, automatic mortar. It can hit targets at any distance, over walls, but is quite inaccurate.
Heavy combat mechanoids that glide on dozens of tiny legs. Their thick carapace and firepower makes them very effective against bunched-up static defenders. They are somewhat vulnerable to mobile hit-and-run tactics.

An ultraheavy mech with a built-in shield bubble generator. The centurion carries a point-defense bulb turret capable of firing while the mechanoid is moving.
A light mechanoid designed for cleaning. Lacking a ranged weapon, it can make only weak melee attacks.
A small mechanoid designed to perform construction tasks. It can perform blunt melee attacks if necessary.
An ultra-heavy mechanoid with an ultra-powerful hellsphere cannon. Made for siegebreaking, its hellsphere cannon takes time to charge up a shot, but can melt concrete and vaporize bone. The diabolus dissipates the hellsphere cannon's waste power in a heat column mounted on its back, which can pulse to ignite flammable objects nearby.
This mech's name comes from a thousand-year-old poem written by a Haspian monk who survived the erasure of his monastery. His religiously-tinged work describes a razor-bodied fiend pulsing with flesh-searing heat as it crushed scorched bodies under massive claws. The few who have faced a diabolus and survived tend to agree with this depiction.
A small work mechanoid designed to craft all manner of manufactured objects.
Fast human-sized combat mechanoids built for medium and long-range combat. Their bodies are light, making them vulnerable targets at close range - especially in melee combat.
A combat support mechanoid with a wide-range bullet shield and mid-range needle gun. Designed to support other mechanoids, the legionary is vulnerable to anyone who can get inside its shield.
A small mechanoid designed for hauling. Lacking a ranged weapon, it can make only weak melee attacks.
A small combat mechanoid armed with a low-powered mini-shotgun. Roughly four feet tall, militors lack the power, range, and toughness of more senior combat mechs. However, it is cheap to gestate and maintain, and so is often used as a rear guard or swarm attacker.
In war, mech armies are known to send militors into urban ruins to hunt down survivors after breaking the human defenses. For this reason, they are considered by some to be the most cruel of all mechanoid patterns.
A self-powered defense turret mounted with a weak but long-ranged slug-thrower. May explode when damaged.
A small mechanoid designed for non-violent emergency situation management and medical care. The paramedic can rescue the wounded, fight fires, treat the sick, and even perform surgery when a more-qualified human is not available. Its built-in jump launcher allows it to jump into, and out of, emergency situations, and its built-in firefoam popper can quickly extinguish fires.
A clunky multi-legged combat mechanoid specialized as a long-range weapons platform. While effective at distance, it is weak in close-range fights and in melee combat.
Veterans of mechanoid wars know that often, the safest place to be around a pikeman is touching it.
A close-approach war mechanoid that specializes in incendiary attacks. Its flame burst attack has little reach, but once it closes on a group of defenders it can ignite and disrupt them with blasts of searing flame.
Fast, spindly, human-sized combat mechanoids specializing in rapid approach and close-range combat. Their bodies are covered in points and blades, but they mostly use their two arm blades to lop off limbs or gut their victims alive.
A medium-sized mechanoid. Termites specialize in burrowing, digging, and breaking through defensive structures. Defenders need to decide whether to try to eliminate the termite before it can dig through their defenses, or take it where it emerges.
A medium-range combat mechanoid. While it is fairly vulnerable to attacks, the tesseron's sweeping beam graser attack is so deadly that few opponents can get shots off against it.
A heavy mechanoid built for mining in treacherous locations. While intended for excavation, the tunneler's gigantic power claws and ultra-thick armor makes it a dangerous force in combat.
An ultra-heavy mech with a built-in mech gestator. Fed with appropriate resources, the war queen can form small war urchin combat mechs within its massive carapace and deploy them into combat. Even more than other mechanoids, the war queen resembles a giant, living insect. All war mechs can be terrifying, but humans tend to find the war queen disturbing on a deeper level.
A small, deployable combat mechanoid usually manufactured inside an ultra-heavy war queen mech. War urchins are expendable fighters designed to swarm-attack enemies. They are mounted with short-ranged spiner guns and have a non-rechargeable power source.
Trivia
- Although all mechanoid-only weapons are 'Spacer' in terms of tech level; the hidden mechanoid faction itself is actually 'Ultra' tech level - one above spacer, and the second highest tech level in the game, below 'Transcendent'.
