== Summary ==
 +
All [[mechanoid]]s from a mech hive are permanently hostile to the colony. They do not eat and are immune to [[toxic fallout]] and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. 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 do not fear for their life, unable to feel [[pain]] and will not seek to take [[cover]].
 +
 +
Mechanoids 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 through [[events]] and can also 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 DLC]]{{IdeologyIcon}}.
 +
 +
Hostile mechanoids are not bound by [[power]] limits. While [[mechanitor]]s can create their own [[allied mechanoid]]s in the [[Biotech DLC]] {{BiotechIcon}}, they are unable to tame or convert hostile ones. Friendly mechs may become feral and join a mech hive if left Uncontrolled (such as having too little [[bandwidth]]) for too long, and can't be re-converted.

The melee boogeymen of Mechanoids. As they're fast and extremely dangerous up close, large numbers can and will surround and overwhelm single enemies. Melee blocking, use of chokepoints, and focus fire while they close are useful tactics. Mechanoid raids consisting entirely of large numbers of scythers are fairly common - this can be a boon to prepared colonies as significantly simplifies defensive needs, but devastating to the unprepared.

Armed with [[charge lance]]s, they make up for modest DPS with the chance to insta-kill pawns by destroying body parts. This is fairly rare, but long term presents a significant risk. Thus exposure should be limited and lancers eliminated with extreme prejudice. As they fight best against pawns at medium to long range and cannot fire when engaged in melee, melee combat is very effective if the distance can be safely closed.

Armed with [[charge lance]]s, they have medium range and modest overall DPS. However, their high shot damage presents a modest, but serious risk of one-shot-killing pawns by destroying body parts. Therefore, exposure should be limited and lancers prioritized as threats. Like many non-scythers, melee combat is very effective if a pawn can get close enough.

Centipedes are tanks and crowd controllers. They are extraordinarily durable and their heavy charge blasters do respectable damage in massive bursts, while inferno cannon light fires and force ignited pawns out of cover.  Having your pawns spread apart and behind cover is a great strategy to dealing with their blaster. Mortar Fire and melee combat are decent options for actually damaging the centipede due to it's slow movement speed and large size. Alternatively, a [[psychic insanity lance]] against a charge blaster centipede turns a danger into a significant asset, likely to both get killed itself and take several other mechanoids down with it. Don't target inferno cannon wielders for this however, as they will not be able to damage their fire-immune brethren.

Centipedes are tanks and crowd controllers. They are incredibly durable, but rather slow. They can wield [[heavy charge blaster]]s or [[minigun]]s for raw, inaccurate damage, or [[inferno cannon]]s to light fires and force ignited pawns out of cover. Mortar Fire and melee combat are decent options for actually damaging the centipede due to it's slow movement speed and large size, and avoid bunching against any of their weapons. Alternatively, a [[psychic insanity lance]] against a centipede turns a danger into a significant asset, though note that other mechanoids are immune to inferno cannons.

While not particularly dangerous on their own, their thump cannon can destroy most walls in a single shot, leaving your colonists open to damage from other mechanoids. Depending on the exact strategy employed against the raid as a whole, these might be the highest priority, or of negligible concern.

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]]<ref>[[Lore#Cryptosleep_Revival_Briefing|Cryptosleep_Revival_Briefing]]</ref> urbworlds<ref>"Markus Kenuneke" player-created [[backstory]]</ref> 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>[[Lore#Cryptosleep_Revival_Briefing|Cryptosleep_Revival_Briefing]]</ref> Others still are constructed and utilized by [[Lore#Archotech|archotechs]]. <ref>"Ang 'Codex' Gao" player-created [[backstory]], [[quest]] descriptions</ref>

In-game however, only combat mechanoids from a single, somewhat mysterious source are ever 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.

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

A Mechanoid Hive is a permanently hostile faction composed entirely of mechanoids, deadly autonomously intelligent robots.

Summary[edit]

All mechanoids from a mech hive are permanently hostile to the colony. They do not eat and are immune to toxic fallout and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. As machines, they are vulnerable to EMP attacks, though will "Adapt" for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs) (regardless of source), making them immune to all further EMP strikes. Hostile mechanoids do not fear for their life, unable to feel pain and will not seek to take cover.

Mechanoids 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 through events and can also be found in most poison ships, psychic ships, and mech clustersContent added by the Royalty DLC. They may sometimes appear dormant in Ancient Complex and guarding any relic with Ideology DLCContent added by the Ideology DLC.

Hostile mechanoids are not bound by power limits. While mechanitors can create their own allied mechanoids in the Biotech DLC Content added by the Biotech DLC, they are unable to tame or convert hostile ones. Friendly mechs may become feral and join a mech hive if left Uncontrolled (such as having too little bandwidth) for too long, and can't be re-converted.

Mechanoid Types[edit]

Mechanoid forces are specialized by their unit types, with each unit performing a single role. Basics summaries are available here, see the individual pages for further details and analysis.

Core[edit]

Scyther[edit]

Main article: Scyther

The melee boogeymen of Mechanoids. Fast and extremely dangerous up close, large numbers can and will overwhelm single enemies. Melee blocking, use of chokepoints, and focus fire while they close in are useful tactics. Mechanoid raids consisting entirely of large numbers of scythers are fairly common.

Lancer[edit]

Main article: Lancer

Armed with charge lances, they have medium range and modest overall DPS. However, their high shot damage presents a modest, but serious risk of one-shot-killing pawns by destroying body parts. Therefore, exposure should be limited and lancers prioritized as threats. Like many non-scythers, melee combat is very effective if a pawn can get close enough.

Pikeman[edit]

Main article: Pikeman

Acting as the sniper, their needle gun doesn't do too much damage. Their main role is to allow mechanoids to engage at range - use bends in chokepoints to force them into range, or simply advance and kill them.

Centipede[edit]

Main article: Centipede

Centipedes are tanks and crowd controllers. They are incredibly durable, but rather slow. They can wield heavy charge blasters or miniguns for raw, inaccurate damage, or inferno cannons to light fires and force ignited pawns out of cover. Mortar Fire and melee combat are decent options for actually damaging the centipede due to it's slow movement speed and large size, and avoid bunching against any of their weapons. Alternatively, a psychic insanity lance against a centipede turns a danger into a significant asset, though note that other mechanoids are immune to inferno cannons.

Termite[edit]

Main article: Termite

While not particularly dangerous on their own, their thump cannon can destroy most walls in a single shot, leaving your colonists open to damage from other mechanoids. Depending on the exact strategy employed against the raid as a whole, these might be the highest priority, or of negligible concern.

Biotech Mechanoids[edit]

This section relates to content added by Biotech (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

Militor[edit]

Main article: Militor

A small combat mechanoid armed with a low power, 12 range mini-shotgun. One of the weakest mechanoids, they serve as earlygame threats and support other mechanoids. They can be scary through sheer numbers - large mechanoid raids comprised only of militors occasionally spawn.

Scorcher[edit]

Main article: Scorcher

A 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.

Legionary[edit]

Main article: Legionary

A combat support mechanoid with a wide range bullet shield and long-range needle gun. Designed to support other mechanoids from long range, the legionary is vulnerable to anyone who can get inside its shield.

Tesseron[edit]

Main article: Tesseron

A medium-range combat mechanoid. The tesseron's sweeping beam attack pierces shields, ignites pawns, and deals great damage, but can't be fired up close.

Centurion[edit]

Main article: Centurion

An incredibly durable ultra-heavy mech, with a large shield capable of defending allies. It also has point-defense turret, which can fire while moving.

Tunneler[edit]

Main article: Tunneler

A large, somewhat durable melee mechanoid with a natural shield and smokepop. While mostly made for mining, some apocriton summon groups will arrive with tunnelers. Does not seem to appear in regular mech raids.

Mechanoid commanders[edit]

This section relates to content added by Biotech (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

Diabolus[edit]

Main article: Diabolus

An ultra-heavy mechanoid with an ultra-powerful hellsphere cannon. It takes time to charge up, but devastates everything including buildings and walls in a large radius. Also has a flame burst for use against nearby foes, and a general purpose turret.

War queen[edit]

Main article: War queen

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.

Apocriton[edit]

Main article: Apocriton

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. 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.
