This page is currently under construction!The reason for this is: "This page is still unfinished, and some nanite programs are still missing from the list."

Reynard Parker, the Roboticist говорит: "Move over Geneticist, there's a better way of making super humans these days. What is this method, you may ask? Nanites, son. It's not without it's risks to the user, but it's not like anybody is going to detonate anybody from the inside out with these things, right...?" |
Nanites are tiny nanomachines that live in a host's bloodstream, providing differenct functionalities depending on how they're programmed. The mob where the nanites reside is usually defined as their host.
Nanites
Implanting
Nanite implantation is done through the Nanite Chamber. A second person must operate the chamber from outside and begin the implanting process, at the end of which a new swarm will take root in the host.
Volume
Nanites generally expend a part of their volume while their programs are active. Luckily, modern technology allows them to integrate with the host's metabolism to replicate without interfering with biological processes, causing them to have a slow but steady growth rate. Nanites by default have a safety threshold where they'll stop using nanite-consuming programs; it can be customized using a Nanite Chamber. If the swarm reaches a population of 0, there's none left to replicate, and the host will have to implant nanites and programming from scratch.
Programming
Nanite swarms can contain nanite programs. These programs can have a huge variety of effects, and are loaded into a nanite swarm in two main ways: uploading them manually with a Nanite Chamber or by syncing them with a Cloud Backup. Once loaded programs cannot be directly modified; instead, a copy of the same program with the desired programming must be uploaded again to overwrite the previous one. There is no limit to the amount of loaded programs, but using too many at once will usually rapidly deplete the nanite population.
Cloud
Nanite swarms can be set with a Cloud ID. If so, they will, every 30 seconds, copy the programming of the Cloud Backup with the same ID, if it has been set. Cloud backups are controlled by Cloud Control Consoles. They can create new backups (with codes from 1 to 100), as well as upload programs from a disk into the selected backup. Cloud control consoles also serve as storage, meaning that if they're disabled they will no longer sync with connected nanites, and that if all cloud consoles are destroyed, all backups will be lost.
Cloud synchronization has several benefits over direct chamber programming: it can update programs without a second person to operate the chamber, it will reset programming in case of tampering or data corruption, and can be updated remotely by a second person. Of course, the last part also makes it very risky, since anyone could upload malicious programs at any time if they have a console to do it with.
Nanite Programs
Nanite programs determine what nanites do inside the host. They have different categories, and range from helpful to deadly.
Obtaining programs
Programs are unlocked through techweb research. Once unlocked, they can be downloaded into Nanite Program Disks at any Nanite Program Hub.
Customizing Programs
Programs have sevral parameters that can be customized with the use of a Nanite Programmer. Simply insert a program disk in the machine and set the parameters you prefer. Note that codes set to 0 are inactive and cannot be signaled.
- Activated: Determines if the program starts activated or not.
- Activation Delay: Determines, in seconds, how long until the program self-activates.
- Timer: Determines the length of the timer. Disables the timer if set to 0.
- Timer Type: Determines what happens when the timer counts down. Has four settings:
- Deactivate: Deactivates the program.
- Self-Delete: Deletes the program.
- Trigger: Triggers the program, if possible.
- Reset Activation Timer: If there is an activation timer, it's reset to 0, deactivating the program until it counts down again.
- Activation Code: The code that must be signaled to activate the program.
- Deactivation Code: The code that must be signaled to deactivate the program.
- Trigger Code: If the program can be triggered, the code that must be signaled to trigger the program.
- Kill Code: The code that must be signaled to delete the program.
Some programs have an extra setting available for customization, like relay channels or signal codes.
Signaling Programs
Nanite Remotes can send coded signals to nanites. When a nanite swarm receives a signal, all its programs react if they recognize the code.
Nanite Remotes can be set to four modes:
- Self targets the person who is holding the remote.
- Targeted targets only the mob that is being clicked on.
- Area targets all mobs in sight.
- Relay allows the user to choose a relay channel; the signal is then sent globally to all hosts which have a relay program set to that channel.
Triggered Programs
Some programs do not have an effect over time, and instead must be triggered. To do so they can either receive a Trigger Code or set a Trigger Timer. Triggering a program generally has a cooldown as well as a cost in volume; if those requirements are not met the program won't trigger. If the program is not activated, it will also be unable to trigger, but activating the program is not the same as triggering it.
Data Corruption
Events like EMPs or shocks might result in data corruption in nanite programs, which can result in one of several different effects: - Toggles the program, deactivating it if active and viceversa. - Triggers the program, if it can be triggered - Deletes the program completely - Resets all the codes, preventing it from being signaled by remotes or signal programs. - Converts the program into a corrupted version. The glitch program depends on the program that got corrupted.
Nanite Types
Nanites are split in several categories.
Utility Programs
Programs that interact with the nanites themselves, or have general utility purposes.
| Program | Effect | Volume per second | Trigger Cost | Trigger Cooldown | Required Techweb | Corruptions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metabolic Synthesis | The nanites use the metabolic cycle of the host to speed up their replication rate, using their extra nutrition as fuel. The host must be at least well fed. | +0.5 | -- | -- | Smart | Toxin Buildup |
| Viral Replica | The nanites constantly send encrypted signals attempting to forcefully copy their own programming into other nanite clusters. | 0.5 | -- | -- | Military | Toxin Buildup |
| Monitoring | The nanites monitor the host's vitals and location, sending them to the suit sensor network. | 0 | -- | -- | Basic | Toxin Buildup |
| Host Scan | The nanites display a detailed readout of a body scan to the host. Can pick between medical, chemical, or nanite scan. | -- | 3 | 5s | Neural | Toxin Buildup |
| Stealth | The nanites hide their activity and programming from superficial scans. | 0.2 | -- | -- | Smart | Toxin Buildup |
| Subdermal ID | The nanites store the host's ID access rights in a subdermal magnetic strip. Updates when triggered, copying the host's current access. | -- | 0 | 5s | Basic | Dermalysis |

| Signal Repeater | When triggered, sends another signal to the host, optionally with a delay. Useful to set up multiple codes for the same program. | -- | -- | -- | Basic | Toxin Buildup |
| Relay Signal Repeater | When triggered, sends a signal via relay, optionally with a delay. | -- | -- | -- | Basic | Toxin Buildup |
| Electromagnetic Resonance | The nanites cause an elctromagnetic pulse around the host when triggered. Will corrupt other nanite programs! | 0 | 10 | 5s | Mesh | Toxin Buildup |

| Mitosis | The nanites gain the ability to self-replicate, using bluespace to power the process, instead of using the host's metabolism. This rapidly speeds up the replication rate, but it causes occasional software errors due to faulty copies. Will not activate if the nanites are synced to a cloud backup. | +0.5 to +5 | -- | -- | Hazard | Toxic |
