===Protocols===
Special programs that enhance nanite behaviour in one particular sector. Only one protocol of each category can function at the same time in a nanite cloud.
These are unlocked through [[bepis|B.E.P.I.S.]] research.

!Kickstart Protocol
| The nanites focus on early growth, heavily boosting replication rate for a few minutes after the initial implantation.

!Factory Protocol
| The nanites build a factory matrix within the host, gradually increasing replication speed over time. The factory decays if the protocol is not active, and can be damaged by shocks or EMPs.

!Pyramid Protocol
| The nanites implement an alternate cooperative replication protocol that is more efficient as long as the saturation level is above 80%.

!Offline Production Protocol
| While the host is asleep or otherwise unconcious, the nanites exploit the reduced interference to replicate much faster.

!Hive Protocol
| The nanites use a more efficient grid arrangment for volume storage, increasing maximum volume in a host by 250.

!Zip Protocol
| The nanites are disassembled and compacted when unused, increasing the maximum volume while in a host by 500. However, the process slows down the replication rate slightly.

!Free Range Protocol
| The nanites discard their default storage protocols in favour of a cheaper and more organic approach. Reduces maximum volume by 250, but increases the replication rate.

!S.L.O. Protocol
| 'S.L.O.P.', or Storage Level Override Protocol, completely disables the safety measures normally present in nanites, allowing them to reach much higher saturation levels (1500 extra volume), but at the risk of causing internal damage to the host.
