Manufacturing Bay

Manufacturing Bay

What it does

• Randomly constructs mechas every 20 turns (at least while you are near it), and heals mechas that are up to 1 tile around it as often as once per turn... seems to also be able to heal in the middle of a turn (ei. after you move but before turn number changes). Mechas constructed include (work in progress):

(based on sample size of 20):

• • 15% chance -- Scavenger Bot
  • 15% chance -- Maintenance Bot
  • 20% chance -- Light Security Bot MK I
  • 10% chance -- Light Security Bot MK II
  • 25% chance -- Med. Security Bot MK I - usually fires at you immediately upon spawning (about 3/5 of the time)
  • 15% chance -- Med. Security Bot MK II

• Once armed, stops constructing additional Mechas. Will explode for moderate damage if a Mecha walks within melee range.

Bad things that can happen if failure to disarm:

• Explodes (this may deal heavy damage [~150 if unarmored])
• Sets off alarm

Additional Notes

• Destroying it with grenades or Dissolve is usually a better alternative
• Using Manipulation from a good angle can sometimes work
