'''Termites''' are [[mechanoid]]s that specialize in destroying [[wall]]s and other impassible structures.
+
'''Termites''' are [[mechanoid]]s which do not eat, cannot be tamed or trained, and are always hostile to the [[Colonists|colony]]. They can be found sealed in [[ancient shrine]]s, participating in [[raids]] against the colony, or found in [[Crashed Ship Part#Poison Ship|poison ships]] and [[Crashed Ship Part#Psychic Ship|psychic ships]]. The specialty of the termite is breaching walls and will target doors, walls, base production tables and furniture.

Dead termites may be shredded at the [[machining table]] or [[crafting spot]] for {{Icon Small|Steel||30}} [[steel]] and {{Icon Small|Plasteel||10}} [[plasteel]].

Along with [[apocriton]]s,{{BiotechIcon}} termites are the only mechanoids that can't be [[mechanoid creation|gestated]] in the [[Biotech DLC]].
+
Termites have a [[shooting accuracy]] of 96%, equivalent to a pawn with a [[Shooting]] skill of 8. However as their only weapon has a forced miss radius that their shots will always land within, their accuracy has no bearing on their lethality. They have a [[melee hit chance]] of 62%, equivalent to a pawn with a [[Melee]] skill of 4.

=== As an enemy ===
+
Despite having a [[maximum comfortable temperature|maximum]] and [[minimum comfortable temperature]], and the definitions of those stats mentioning that being significantly outside the comfortable range will result in [[ailments]] and eventually death, all mechanoids are completely immune to temperature extremes and will not suffer any damage or ill effects because of them.
−
Termites are primarily found in [[Raid#Breachers|breach raid]]s, and don't typically appear outside of them. They aim to destroy nearby [[wall]]s, if no pawns are in range.
+
 
 +
== Combat & Strategy ==
 +
===Combat===
 +
Termites wield the [[thump cannon]], which while only moderately damaging to living targets do significant damage to buildings and [[walls]]. A single shot deals {{#expr: {{Q|Thump cannon|Damage Base}}*30}} to walls in a 3-tile wide stretch, enough to destroy [[wood|wooden]] walls in one shot, [[stone block]] walls in two, [[uranium]] in three, and [[plasteel]] in four.
 +
 
 +
Thus, containing Termites before they can disassemble your defenses and allow the accompanying [[Lancer]]s, [[Scyther]]s, [[Pikeman|Pikemen]] and [[Centipede]]s to kill your pawns is paramount. Additionally, the long term cost of repairing their damage is significant. Using melee pawns to prevent firing is recommended, and if available, combining the melee with the use of the [[Psycast#Skip|Skip]] psycast {{RoyaltyIcon}} is ideal. Use of the [[Low-shield pack]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} or the [[Psycast#Skipshield|Skipshield]] psycast {{RoyaltyIcon}} can also prevent their shots from hitting its target but can also be costly.
 +
 
 +
The thump cannon can down unarmored pawns in five hits on average, and most often kill from brain damage.

Termites wield the [[thump cannon]]. While it only deals moderate damage to living targets, it can easily destroy buildings and [[walls]]. A single shot deals {{#expr: {{Q|Thump cannon|Damage Base}}*30}} damage to walls in a 3-tile wide stretch, enough to destroy [[wood|wooden]] walls in one shot, [[stone block]] walls in two, [[uranium]] in three, and [[plasteel]] in four. In melee, they have a fairly weak attack with no special quirks:

==Analysis==

Termites are exclusive to [[breacher]] raids. Defending against termites, in terms of base design, is like defending against any other breacher. Make [[cover]] in multiple separate locations, so that you can be prepared to fight anywhere. Contain termites before they can disassemble your defenses and cover, which will allow more deadly [[mechanoid]]s to go through. Unlike with regular raids, faster mechs like [[lancer]]s will remain behind the breachers, and wait for them to catch up. If the termites are killed, it does not necessarily mean that the other mechs will stop breaching, but it does mean less damage to your walls.
+
===Biology===
  
−
When compared to other mechs, the thump cannon is not especially deadly. However, it can injure multiple pawns clumped together. Spread out. You can use weapons with high range, such as [[assault rifle]]s and [[bolt action rifle]]s, to outrange the termite completely. Alternatively, you can use melee and/or [[EMP]] to prevent the termite from firing at all.
 
  
−
If available, combining the melee with the use of the [[Psycast#Skip|Skip]] psycast {{RoyaltyIcon}} is ideal. Bring the termites closer to you, rather than bring your melee pawns closer to the mechanoids. Use of [[Low-shield pack]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} or the [[Psycast#Skipshield|Skipshield]] psycast {{RoyaltyIcon}} can also prevent their shots from hitting their, but both shields come with their own cost.
+
===Diet===
 +
Termites are machines, and machines don't need to eat - but they do need some source of power.  
 +
 
 +
Currently, it is unknown what power source or other source of energy the Termite or any other [[mechanoid]] uses.
