Remote shielders are artificial body parts added by the Biotech DLC that allow mechanitors to remotely create a shield around their mechanoids.

Acquisition[edit]

Remote shielders can be crafted at a Machining table once the High mechtech research project has been completed. They require 1 Powerfocus chip, 6 Components, 3,200 ticks (53.33 secs) of work, and a Crafting skill of 6.

Summary[edit]

Remotely project a personal defense shield onto a mech. The shield stops incoming damage, but also prevents shooting out, so this can be useful even when cast on enemies. The mechanitor must continuously focus on the mech in order to maintain the shield.
— "Remote Shield" ability description

Having at least 1 remote shielder installed gives access to the Remote Shield ability.

No warmup time, 300 ticks (5 secs) cooldown. Cooldown starts as soon as mechanitor stops projecting the shield.

Up to 3 remote shielders can be installed in each mechanitor's brain. Each installed shielder increases shield range and energy as follows:

Num. Shielders	Shield range (Tiles)	Shield energy	Damage capacity
1	7.9	75	25^[Verify]
2	13.9	150	50^[Verify]
3	19.9	225	75^[Verify]

Installation[edit]

Unlike most other artificial body parts, the remote shielder is not installed via an operation. Instead, the selected mechanitor can be selected to use the device on themselves, consuming the item and installing it.
