{{name}} is a [[pet]], a companion to the player that can be selected during character creation, available exclusively to [[Freehold Games Patreon|patrons]] of Freehold Games. They are, are their name implies, a mechanical version of the player themselves.
 
You, but mechanical uses the same tile as the player colored {{qud text|&ccyan}}, and their display name will be "mechanical [player's name]". However, many of their properties differ from the player: they will have different [[attributes]], they will not begin the game with any items the player would normally start with, and they will not begin the game with any [[mutations]] or [[cybernetics]] that the player may have.
 
Due to their mechanical nature, You, but mechanical will have their [[heat resistance|heat]] and [[cold resistance|cold resistance]] set to 25, and their [[electric resistance]] set to -50. Additionally, You, but mechanical lacks a mind, is made out of [[Properties#Metal|metal]], is [[Properties#EMP Sensitive|EMP sensitive]], does not [[Respiration|respire]], is immune to [[Poisoned|poison]] and the effects of fungal spores, and is unable to utilize [[tonics]].  Finally, You, but mechanical bleeds {{favilink|oil}} rather than {{favilink|blood}}.{{Code Reference|class=MechaPlayer}}{{Code Reference|class=Roboticized}}

{{Book Page|"Hey, Yybas."
 
"Yes?"
 
"You ever worry that you might get... swapped? With a robot?"
 
"Swapped? How do you mean?" Yybas stopped heaving straw to turn and glare at Mukas.
 
"With a robot, like." The farmhand fidgeted, his resolve faltering upon hearing himself speak the words aloud. "They build a robot s'just like you."
 
Yybas scowled. "Why would anyone do summin like that? For filthy pig rasslers like us."
 
"Hey!" Mukas scowled. "I en't filthy."
 
"Yer muddy, I know. Get yer muddy behind back ta work and stop worryin about robot impostors. Moon and Sun, what a fool you are."
 
Thus chastised, Mukas slunk from the barn with his shoulders sagging. Huffing a sigh, Yybas planted her pitchfork in the hay and stared after him. She waited until he was gone, until the only sound was the whirring from Yybas's chest.
 
She smirked, and resumed her task.|Swapped}}
