Mobile Suit Gundam: HARO
"HARO! HARO!"
Adds two variants of HARO — the iconic spherical robot companion of the Gundam universe — to RimWorld as player-controlled Light Mechanoids. Gestated through your mechitor's Mech Gestator and assigned to bandwidth, HAROes are cheerful, tireless, and surprisingly capable workers for the Rim.
When a colonist first installs a mechlink, there is a chance a HARO unit will drop in via transport pod — already bonded to the new mechanitor and ready to work.
