− | + | The mortar is a ''manned'' stationary siege defense mechanism which launches 1-round artillery [[mortar shell]]s at any enemy that enters its 500-tile firing radius, or can be manually set a forced target, but it will not fire once the enemies have reached within 30 tiles. This is one of the three varieties available once Mortars technology has been researched, the other two being the [[EMP mortar]] and the [[Incendiary mortar]]. All mortar varieties must be placed in an unroofed area to fire. It has a 5.8-second warmup time, a 28-second cooldown, and an 11-tile forced miss radius. | |

− | + | There is no way to increase mortar accuracy. Reliable shelling for this mortar is somewhat expensive and usually requires multiple manned mortars. Mortars explode in a 4.9-tile radius when destroyed and deal 50 damage. | |
− | The | + | Mortars must be crewed by a pawn to load and fire shells. The pawn's [[Skills#Shooting|shooting skill]] does not affect accuracy due to the forced miss radius, so even an unskilled pawn can still contribute to defense by manning a mortar. |

− | + | == [[Defense tactics#Mortars|Strategy]] == | |
− | + | Mortars are effective against [[Raid#Siege|siege]] bases, raiders preparing or walking towards your base, or crashed ships and their mechanoid passengers. While 2 mortars are enough for siege bases, at least 4 will be needed for direct attacks on raiders. | |
− | + | Mortars are ineffective against enemies equipped with [[shield belt]]s, as they are resistant to mortar hits and those of high qualities can regenerate faster than the mortar fires. Pairing them with [[EMP mortar]]s can overcome this problem easily. | |
− | |||
− | + | See [[Defense structures#Mortars|defense structures]] and [[Defense tactics#Mortars|defense tactics]] for more tips on how to use mortars. | |
− | + | == Ammo == | |
− | + | Mortars require [[Mortar shell]]s to function. To prevent the shells from deteriorating (and thus exploding), build a [[roof]] over them, or stack them on a [[shelf]]. | |
