Subcore softscanner

Subcore softscanner

A pod with thousands of tiny tissue probes and a high-energy brain scanner. Once a person is inserted, the system uses the probes and scanner to sense a neuro-psychic pattern that it can analog-transfer to a new standard-tier mechanoid subcore. The person will be left temporarily sick, but unharmed.
Subcores are mechanoid brains and producing any mechanoid requires one. Standard-tier subcores produced by this softscanner can only power standard-tier mechanoids.
Higher tier subcores can be created by building a subcore ripscanner.

Acquisition

The Subcore softscanner can be constructed once Standard Mechtech is researched.

Summary

The subcore softscanner takes 150 W of power. Its only purpose is to form a standard subcore, an ingredient used for the gestation of the following mechanoids:

  • Product Ingredients Type [ExpandCollapse]
    Lancer Lancer Steel 75 + Plasteel 75 + Component 4 + Standard subcore 1 Mechanoid
    Pikeman Pikeman Steel 100 + Plasteel 40 + Component 4 + Standard subcore 1 Mechanoid
    Scyther Scyther Steel 75 + Plasteel 75 + Component 4 + Standard subcore 1 Mechanoid
    Scorcher Scorcher Content added by the Biotech DLC Steel 80 + Plasteel 32 + Component 3 + Standard subcore 1 Mechanoid
    Tunneler Tunneler Content added by the Biotech DLC Steel 150 + Plasteel 75 + Component 4 + Standard subcore 1 Mechanoid
  • A standard subcore requires 50 Steel and 4 Components to create. Then, a human must sit in the scanner for 7,500 ticks (2.08 mins). The person then receives Scanning Sickness for 4 days, or 24,000 ticks (6.67 mins). This reduces Consciousness and Manipulation by x75% and causes a −8 mood penalty.

    Analysis

    Prisoners don't do work, so using them for the subcore scanner carries few penalties. Barring that, almost any colonist is suitable, as scanning sickness is not a terribly strong debuff.
