Revision as of 21:00, 20 July 2025

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

To rescue a NikNak, approach it with your vacuum pack, which you wear like a backpack. Once you're close enough, keep your mouse cursor aimed at the creature to maintain suction. A timer counts down. If your aim wavers, the timer counts up, and some progress is lost. When the timer ticks down to 0, you successfully pulled the NikNak into your vacuum pack, and it’s added to one of the vacuum tubes within your backpack.

NikNaks in the wild are corrupted and aggressive. They won’t cooperate or contribute to your factories until they've been purified.

Purification

Once contained, NikNaks can be placed onto a Purifier Machine, which cleanses them of their corruption. After purification, NikNaks are grateful for your help. Now loyal, they’re ready to be placed into your factory system.

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

NikNak Personalities

When you rescue a NikNak, they have different personalities that affect how they might behave in your factory!
