all right, i tried it again.
Instead of fighting the centipede, i took out everything else at the cluster and let it it inche towards my base
well, i took a lot of damage because the auto-mortar started firing right away so i rushed in without building siege fortifications around the mech cluster. i didn't really have a choice since it would just burn my entire base down if i waited.

a few guys got downed taking out the cluster. then i organized a mixed melee-ranged defense at the base. i lost two soldiers including the goblin girl and i'll probably lose my slaves as well. one of the slaves got fucked by the centipede so i killed and butchered him, i don't know what the was going to crawl out of him but i can't survive another centipede.
I had to amputate some limbs, my main crafter is catatonic, I botched a surgery on a slave and he died. Animal slaughter mental break is the least of my concerns It's a rough spot.
Of course right afterwards there was a combat supplier with M72 LAWs. Just a few days late... a dozen of those to the face and the centipede wouldn't have been so cheeky
