Dealing with Mechanoids is fairly challenging, but what if we told you that you could weaken their activities and dismantle their networks? This is where the Mechanoid Relays come into play. If this is the first time you’ve heard of Mechanoid Relays or simply wish to know more about them, our guide is here to help.

What Are Mechanoid Relays in Rimworld Odyssey?

Mechanoid Relays are signal towers of sorts that the Mechanoids use to organize and execute operations. Tired of the constant Mechanoid raids on your colonies? These are likely happening due to the presence of a Mechanoid Relay nearby.

The signal towers help the Mechanoids communicate and are an important part of their infrastructure. This importance is best reflected by the heavy security surrounding these relays at any given time. Tons of Mechanoids guard the tower and are often armed with turrets and other weapons. Destroying the towers is necessary to dismantle their operations and reduce the raids you face.

As stated earlier, if you wish to reduce the number of raids you face, you need to destroy the Mechanoid Relays. Since these areas are heavily guarded, you need to be appropriately armed. We recommend bringing EMPs and attacking from a distance.

Using sniper rifles allows you to immobilize targets from afar, all while maintaining cover. Should the Mechanoids notice the attack and charge at you, the EMPs will help you stun them. The stun will leave them vulnerable, making it easy to dispose of them. Do not rush in until you’ve dealt with the turrets. Once the Mechanoids and turrets are taken care of, you can safely move in and destroy the Mechanoid Relay.
