UOA-Is or "Tincans" are advanced semi-sentient robotic beings. They periodically appear around Oceanyka, always seemingly confused and sometimes aggressive. Tincans can use most mechanical contraptions, including firearms and vehicles despite having no prior training. Encounters aren't severe but FSRD units try to reclaim all disabled subjects for study. Some curious advances have been made in the fields of robotics, energy and computation thanks to UOA-1 autopsies, but most of their inner workings remain an enigma. It's theorised UOA-Is were civilian helpers of the precursors, and their fabrication numbers are unknown. Their systems are powered by hyperefficient batteries, which can sustain these creatures for long periods of time.
Tincans can be found in great numbers within Black Factories, where they appear to be the lowest form of worker.
