As it's quite rare and cannot be easily removed once installed, one should be careful which pawn to install the mechlink into. Most essential is a good [[Crafting|crafter]] who is capable of [[Work#Smith|smithing]], as it influences their ability to [[Mech Repair Speed|repair]]/[[Mech Gestation Speed|gestate]] mechanoids, and [[Subcore Encoding Speed|encode subcores]]. If your mechanitor is killed, the mechlink can be extracted and implanted again so long as their head is not destroyed. Prioritize extracting the mechlink and keep the corpse safe and away from hungry animals in the meantime. | As it's quite rare and cannot be easily removed once installed, one should be careful which pawn to install the mechlink into.

Since the mechlink counts as an artificial body part, it will make [[body modder]]s very happy, and [[body purist]]s very upset to have one installed. The [[Ideoligion#Body_modification|body modification precept]] {{IdeologyIcon}} also affects this. | Since the mechlink counts as an artificial body part, it will make [[body modder]]s very happy, and [[body purist]]s very upset to have one installed.
