| − | + | Constructoids are light mechanoids. Mechs in general count as a partial pawn in terms of [[raid points]], and still contribute towards wealth. | |

| − | + | They are created from a standard [[mech gestator]] with {{Required Resources}}, taking up 1 [[bandwidth]] from a [[mechanitor]]. They take 1800 [[ticks]] to initally craft, and then it must gestate for 1 cycle. Mechanoids can be fully repaired at the cost of power and nothing else. A dead constructoid can be resurected for 25 [[steel]] and 1 gestation cycle so long as the corpse is extant. | |

Mechs under player control require power: constructoids 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 [[mech recharger]] (constant 200W), for 50% power/day, creating 5 [[wastepack]]s whenever the recharger's waste is filled up. | Mechs under player control require power: constructoids use 10% of their power per day while active.

Constructoids will also move items to start working on a blueprint, moving at 3.4 cells/s, which is slower than a human. | |

However, they have the advantages of being a mech, without the need for food, recreation, or rest, and being able to be built en-masse. |
With a skill of 10, they can build almost any skill-locked building, and a healthy constructoid's [[Construct Success Chance]] will be at 100% (so can't botch a building). Constructoids are useful for building a lot of things without [[quality]], such as [[wall]]s and [[floor]]s. Even if you have colonists better at Construction, the mech will help save work time. Urgent buildings, and buildings with quality (like [[armchair]]s), should still be left for skilled humans. In order to control where they build, you can set a [[zone]] for them. | With a skill of 10, they can build almost any skill-locked building, and a healthy constructoid's [[Construct Success Chance]] will be at 100% (so can't botch a building).

Once you've built your entire base, you can put constructoids to work by producing constant [[spike trap]]s. As time isn't an issue, you can have these traps made out of stone. You can also use mech labor to build other labor-intensive structures, such as [[fine stone tile]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}. Ideally, you should turn your colonist's construction priority down, so that you can keep constructoids in work. Alternatively, you can disassemble the constructoid - you'll get the [[basic subcore]] and some steel back. | Once you've built your entire base, you can put constructoids to work by producing constant [[spike trap]]s.
