Summary

War queens are mechanoids. They do not eat and are immune to toxic fallout and temperature extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature range. Like all mechanoids, they are vulnerable to EMP attacks. War queens have a 45% EMP resistance, meaning they are stunned for 45% less time.

As an enemy

You can summon a hostile War queen with a mechanitor and a mechband antenna, which requires the Basic Mechtech research. Summoning the war queen destroys the antenna. However, they are not exclusive to summoning, as strong enough mechanoid raids may feature one or even multiple.

When summoned, it will be accompanied by other mechanoids. The amount of other mechanoids depends on how many times you have summoned a War queen before, but is independent of wealth, time, or colony progress. They will crash down in a ship after a random amount of time ranging from a few in game hours to days. They will not attack immediately, but will instead act like a raid and "prepare" before launching their assault.

Defeating a hostile War queen rewards the player with a Powerfocus chip. Studying one is required to research High Mechtech, and they can also be used to create various mechanitor gear.

Combat

Equipped with a charge blaster turret.
Spawns war urchins; the queen can make up to 3 war urchins at a time. Each war urchin costs 25 steel to make. The war queen generates with 600 steel.

As an ally

? The War queen is an ultra-heavy mechanoid. It takes up 5 bandwidth. It recharges at a large mech recharger and creates 25 wastepacks whenever the recharger's waste meter fills.

War queens can generate up to 3 war urchins on command. This costs 25 steel per urchin and the action has a 15 second cooldown.

Analysis

? A terrifying mechanoid with a built-in mech gestator. The war queen can gestate small war urchin combat mechs inside its massive carapace and deploy them into combat. Given time to build up numbers, a war queen can overwhelm any opponent with dozens of war urchins. The war queen demands respect - failing to destroy it quickly could have devastating consequences as it grows its swarm and overruns your colony.
