====[[File:Ripley.png|50px]] Ripley APLU====
====[[File:Ripley.png|50px]] Ripley APLU====
The Ripley APLU (Autonomous Power Loading Unit) is a slow moving, decently protected mech. Generally, it can take down a Gygax because of the sheer power of the drill, but it does not make a good combat mech because it is slow and has no range. Best used against Spess carp invasions, blobs, Changelings, and for Revs (using it to breach high security areas) ''Expect [[Mining]] to constantly be bugging you to make one for them.''

It has good melee armor to protect it from mining mobs, which can be further upgraded by adding Goliath plates to it. It is also shielded from explosions.

Various tools and weapons can be attached to mechs, providng them with ability to perform different tasks. Mech Equipment is built by Mech Fabricator ("Exosuit Equipment" menu). To attach a tool or weapon, simply click with it on mecha. Most mechs can hold no more than two equipment pieces.
