Mech are fully autonomous. Mechanoids assigned to work tasks have an effective [[Skill]] of 10, though most have a 50% [[Global Work Speed]], and some of them work even slower. You cannot order mechanoid work in any direct way, though you can indirectly control it through setting [[zone]]s.

If the mechanitor dies or runs out of [[bandwidth]], mechanoids will go into the Uncontrolled state. They will not be uncontrolled if the mechanitor is downed, in a caravan, etc. After 1 game-day, or {{ticks|60000}} uncontrolled, they may go feral, joining the enemy [[mech hive]].
