How do you destroy a mech cluster?

Alternatively, a colonist with the Skip and Invisibility psycasts can move into a mech cluster, use grenades to quickly destroy priority targets, then use Skip to withdraw as soon as the Invisibility wears off. An alternative to destroying the cluster from the outset is targeting the mechs themselves.

What happens if you defeat a mech cluster?

Congratualtions... you just defeated a mech cluster, and if you did it right, not a SINGLE shot was every fired by mechs, or turrets at your colonists. The only damage taken will be to your animals, and possibly melee colonists (but melee colonists are optional).

Should I use a tactical method to defeat a mech cluster?

Overall, the tactical method should defeat almost any mech cluster, without a single colonist having a shot fired at them, and with minimal losses to animals. It takes a bit of getting used to, and I recommend HEAVILY that you save the game when everyone is in position, and are willing to re-load if you mess up.

What happens if a mech cluster hits a barricade?

When any mech cluster structure, including walls or barricades, falls below 50% hit points Mech Cluster mechanoids will attack as if they were a standard raid. Quest mech clusters do not have this 50% hit point attack threshold behavior. All non-wall and barricade structures must be destroyed before the mechanoids attack.

Do mech cluster buildings take Flame Damage?

All mech cluster buildings, not including the condition causers, not only have a Flammability of 0%, but also take no damage from attacks with the Flame damage type. This is in contrast to, for example, a stone wall which will not be ignited by molotov cocktails but will take the 10 flame damage from the initial attack.

What happens if a mech cluster lands on a mountain?

For very large mountain bases, if it cannot find any other valid spaces, the mech cluster is likely to land in the mountain. Landing on overhead mountain will destroy the drop pods immediately and cause large chunks of the roof to collapse which can crush items and colonists below.
