NikNaks are adorable creatures that evolved from the more primitive Bots that exist in Mainframe.

NikNaks are creatures that can be rescued and then added to factories as workers!

Rescuing NikNaks

NikNaks in the wild are corrupt and aggressive!

To rescue a NikNak, approach it with your Vacuum Pack in hand. Then suck until the NikNak enters your tube! Certain NikNaks are harder to suck and will struggle against you. Others will be easy to suck. In order to suck the NikNak in, the timer must tick down to 0, so you must maintain contact with the NikNak or else the timer will reset.

Once the NikNak is successfully sucked, it’s added to a Vacuum Tube in your backpack! Your backpack purifies the NikNak so they are no longer corrupt and aggressive. The NikNaks you've purified are grateful for your help. Now they will contribute to your factory.

Vacuum Pack and purification

Once in the vacuum pack, the NikNak is purified and ready to be placed into your factory system.

NikNaks are spit out of the vacuum pack in the same order as they are in the tubes.

Placement at factories

NikNaks can run Factories!

Each NikNak has unique traits and skillsets. When assigning one to a factory, you:

Select the resource region it collects from (draw it like a paintbrush!)
Select a Resource Box as its drop-off location.

NikNak Species

There are many different types of species! You can rate them on Rate-A-NikNak
