In the harsh world of RimWorld, where survival is a constant struggle, players must make the most of every resource at their disposal. One such resource that often presents itself is the remains of fallen mechanoids, particularly the formidable Centipedes. But what exactly can you do with these robotic carcasses?
Shredding Centipedes for Resources
According to the RimWorld wiki, dead Centipedes can be shredded at a machining table or crafting spot to extract valuable resources . This process yields 30 steel and 10 plasteel, though the exact amounts can be affected by the mechanoid shredding efficiency and the condition of the Centipede’s remains.
Repurposing Centipede Parts
Beyond simply shredding the Centipede, players can also choose to carefully disassemble the mechanoid and repurpose its various components. This can be a more time-consuming process, but it can yield additional resources and potentially even allow for the resurrection of the Centipede itself .
Dealing with Dead Insects in RimWorld
While Centipedes are not technically insects, the general approach to handling dead mechanoids in RimWorld is similar to that of dealing with other deceased creatures. As mentioned in a Reddit thread, players can choose to butcher the remains and use the meat for various purposes, such as creating kibble or chemfuel .
