Mechanoids needed space?

[Darius Dimebag IV]

Can a mechanoid travel in 1 square? Like if I set up a trap set up like a 1x1 can they still go through?

they can go through one tile
even if they werent, theres a thermite enemy that destroys your walls in one hit shrugs

Traps and melee are both good

Kill them. Unlike humans, they have a base armor stat of about 80% sharp. Additionally they have better weapons. Their weaknesses are they are big(centipedes and termites at least are 2x hit rate), and are prone to emp stuns, such as those from an emp grenade. That said, try to keep them coming in one at a time, or else they will easily overrun you. Scrythers are melees and tend to come in really large packs without other mechanoids, so when that happens just try to kite them or have realllly heavily armored pawns take the blades.
Overall, basically try to do the same thing as you would with normal raids, just find a way to work emp grenades into your arsenal(note that emp nades disable bionics and downs colonists who have enough implants in their brains, like the circadian assistant). Also try to keep the distance close against ranged mechanoids(the lancers and pikemen), since your close range damage output is gonna be better in that case. My personal recommendation is the best quality minigun you can get your hands on, since it gets surprisingly accurate at legendary and you can easily empty an entire 25 shot burst into the 2x size centipede.

Nope. IEDs (other than anti-grain) usually do like nothing to mechanoids. The EMP IED will stun them, but I don't really recommend. Spike traps can help a little if you have a lot of them and make them out of like stone so they are cheap. Best bet to is engage them in melee with well armor colonists using like warhammers or zueshammers, while your other colonists shoot a lot. Slug turrets are very effective as well.

Further note regarding use of EMP grenades to disable mechs - they will disable shield belts and cause vomiting if the pawn has an artificial stomach.

Should pair nicely with Royalty. That way you can have a couple 1% owners profiting off the backs of everyone else and getting nice defense contract payments to their BROS.

I stand by my corner strat. Find a corner and wait for them to come around it. EMP the ones that are good at melee (Check Info) they are usually faster. And melee the ones that are good at ranged.
