Scythers have no fear for their life, and will charge directly at colonists without regard to cover. As part of a raid, scythers will go ahead.

Mechanoids can raid the player's base through [[events]], and are found in most [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]], [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]], and [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}. Scythers are often supported by heavier mechanoids like [[centipede]]s, but will charge ahead without letting them catch up. | Mechanoids can raid the player's base through [[events]], and are found in most [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]], [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]], and [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}.

Scythers attack with a blade attached to each arm, dealing a massive 20 damage per blade.

Scythers have a 62% [[melee hit chance]], equivalent to a pawn with a [[Melee]] skill of 4. Their damage output is roughly equivalent to a pawn with 10 melee skill wielding a normal quality steel longsword. | Scythers have a 62% [[melee hit chance]], equivalent to a pawn with a [[Melee]] skill of 4.

| + | They are created from a [[large mech gestator]] with {{Required Resources}}, taking up 2 [[bandwidth]] from a [[mechanitor]]. They take 1800 [[ticks]] to initially craft, and then it must gestate for 2 cycles (default 1.8 game days per cycle). Mechanoids can be fully repaired at the cost of power and nothing else. A dead scyther can be resurrected for 50 [[steel]] and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant. | ||

Mechs under player control require power: scythers use 10% of their power per day while active. If set to dormant self-charging, they instead recharge for 1% power / day, without pollution. They recharge in a [[large mech recharger]] (400W), for 50% power/day, creating 10 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up. | Mechs under player control require power: scythers use 10% of their power per day while active.
