− | + | The '''Mortar''' is a ''manned'' stationary siege defense mechanism which launches 1-round artillery [[mortar shell]] at any enemy that enters its 500-tile firing radius but it will not fire once the enemies have reached within 30 tiles, or can be manually set a forced target. The range indicator of mortars is not its actual range, but the size of its blind spot. | |
− | + | It has a 5.8-second warmup time, a 28-second cooldown, and an 11-tile forced miss radius. Mortars explode in a 4.9-tile radius when destroyed and deal 50 damage. | |
− | + | Mortars require a pawn each to load and fire shells. Their [[skills]] have no effect on accuracy and either melee or ranged can operate them. However, pawns incapable of violence will refuse to man them. Unlike drafted colonists, mortar personal do not relieve their position once the battle is over and must be manually unassigned, or they will become exhausted, starve, and potentially suffer a [[Mood|mental break]]. There is no way to increase mortar accuracy. | |
− | + | Loading different shells into it will produce different effects. These shells can be manually extracted from the mortar. Mortars can also be set to allow different types of shell. | |

− | + | Different shells can allow the mortar to serve a variety of functions. | |
− | + | === High-explosive shell === | |
− | + | The [[high-explosive shell]] is the 'regular' kind of shell, that deals 50 damage in a 3.5-tile radius upon exploding. | |
− | + | They are effective against most enemies; [[Raid#Siege|siege]] bases, resting or charging raiders, crashed ships and their mechanoid passengers, the high-explosive shell reliably deals damage against all of them (assuming you can hit). While two mortars are enough against siege bases, around 4 - 8 will be needed for direct attacks on raiders. | |
− | [[ | ||
− | |||
− | + | Less effective against enemies equipped with [[shield belt]]s, as they can block mortar hits and those of high qualities can survive a blast and regenerate faster than the mortar fires. Pairing these with other mortars firing EMP rounds can overcome this problem easily. | |
− | + | === Incendiary shell === | |
− | + | The [[incendiary shell]] deals 10 damage in a 2.9-tile radius (i.e. a 5x5 square) upon exploding, and setting the area on fire. | |
− | |||
− | + | === EMP shell === | |
− | + | The [[EMP shell]] contains a specialized warhead that deals 360 EMP damage in a 8.5-tile radius upon exploding. EMP does not physically harm enemies, but stuns mechanoids and depletes shield belts. | |

− | + | In Beta 18 the three types of mortars (Incendiary, EMP and explosive) were replaced with a single type, which fires differnet types of shells that achieve the same effect In addition, two new shells are added, the firefoam shell and the antigrain warhead. | |
