Ideas / Automated Units.
January 13, 2014, 12:50:12 PM
ADU's, Automated Defense Units are military robots designed for domestic defense.

Their short battery life puts limit on their effective activity range. When they run out of battery power, they are required to be hauled by colonists to their charging stations connected to the grid where they recharge at a 1000W rate. The charging station is vulnerable to short-circuiting in humid environment and needs to be kept in enclosed space.

-Has to be researched.
-Expensive; lots of metal, lots of space, lots of energy, lots of workforce for construction and repair.
-Use energy at twice their charging speed.
-Attract lightening.
-Their Artificial Grey Matter can short-circuit and cause them to do the opposite of intended function.

Other AUs (Variety increases required space, resources and energy):

ARU's, Automated Repair Units.
Civilian robots designed to repair damaged systems and buildings within the colony.
Much like their military cousins, they hold a limited charge and need to be hauled to recharging stations by colonists when they run out of energy.

ACU's, Automated Cleaning Units.
Their sole purpose is to clean the filth the humans cause.

AHU's, Automated Harvesting Units.
Designed to harvest what humans sow. They gather less food from a plant than a colonist.
