Mechanoids are machines. They do not eat, do not feel [[mood]] or [[pain]], and are immune to [[fire]], [[toxic buildup]], and temperature extremes - despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. Enemy mechanoids have no needs at all. As machines, they are vulnerable to [[EMP]] attacks, though will "Adapt" for {{ticks|2200}} (regardless of source), making them immune to all further EMP strikes.

Hostile mechanoids are part of a '''Mechanoid Hive'''. They can be found sealed in ancient ruins in all biomes, which spawn inside mountains or outside on the landscape. They may also [[raid]] the player's base directly, or be found in most [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]], [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]], and [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}. They may sometimes appear dormant in Ancient Complex and guarding any relic with [[Ideology]]{{IdeologyIcon}} DLC.

In the [[Biotech DLC]]{{BiotechIcon}}, many more mechanoid types are added. You can create friendly mechanoids by [[mechanoid creation#Acquisition|gestating]] them. A [[mechanitor]] with enough [[bandwidth]] is required to both create them, and keep mechs from going feral. The Biotech DLC must be active for you to create mechanoids.

These gestated variants require [[power]] and have to be recharged, which creates [[Pollution]]. Friendly mechanoids can be repaired with power and no other cost. As long as they leave a [[corpse]], friendly mechanoids can be resurrected for a [[steel]] cost.

Killer machines of unknown origin. Hidden in ancient structures, under mounds of dust, or at the bottom of the ocean, mechanoids can self-maintain for thousands of years. This group of mechs seems to be unified in purpose, but not well-coordinated in action. While local scholars believe they're autonomous weapons left over from an ancient war, tribal legends describe them as the demonic servants of a sleeping god. - Faction description.

In the [[lore]], Mechanoids are autonomous intelligent robots built for a variety of purposes. The technologies required to build them vary based on the complexity of the resultant mechanoid, with [[Lore#Tech_levels|Spacer-level]]<includeonly><ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/></includeonly><noinclude><ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing">[[Lore#Cryptosleep Revival Briefing|Cryptosleep Revival Briefing]]</ref></noinclude> urbworlds<includeonly><ref name="Keuneke"/></includeonly><noinclude><ref name="Keuneke">Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Markus Keuneke|Markus 'Keuneke' Keuneke]]</ref></noinclude> being able to construct more simple mechanoids for companionship, combat and labor use, while only glitterworlds are capable of constructing the more advanced, quasi-conscious versions.<ref name="Cryptosleep Revival Briefing"/> Others still are constructed and utilized by [[Lore#Archotech|archotechs]]. <includeonly><ref name="Codex"/></includeonly><noinclude><ref name="Codex">Backstory of [[List of Player-created Pawns#Ang Gao|Ang 'Codex' Gao]]</ref></noinclude><ref>[[Quest]] descriptions</ref>

In-game, mechanoids can be constructed and controlled with a [[mechlink]]{{BiotechIcon}}. Otherwise, only combatant mechanoids from a single, somewhat mysterious source are seen. There are some indications that the Mechanoids seen in game may have been built by, or otherwise allied with, an ancient army, perhaps that of the [[Ancients]] faction.<ref>[[Orbital mech cluster targeter]] description</ref>. Whatever the case however, they have since lost any allegiances they may have had and are now hostile to every other faction.

* 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'.

* All mechanoids have a 'clean' and an 'ancient' version. A mechanoid will turn ancient after 100 biological years, going from having a white hue to a faded light green hue, but the difference is purely cosmetic.
