The radius depends on the quantity in the stack, with a single shell covering a 2.9 tile radius, and expanding this radius proportional to the square root of the stack size times 0.4 up to a maximum radius of {{#expr: 2.9+((24*0.4)^0.5) round 2}} tiles at a full stack of 25. |

The other "main" target of mortars, stationary [[mechanoid]]s, are completely immune to fire. For ordinary raids, fire spreads too slowly to be useful in combat. As mobile raiders are smart enough to avoid fire, only a direct hit would cause damage, making high-explosive shells superior (as they deal more damage). Note that the game will automatically cause [[rain]] if fires get too far out of control. |
| − | + | Sieges can and will use incendiary shells against you, which will ravage through rooms floored with [[carpet]], [[hay]], or with otherwise flammable items. [[Firefoam popper]]s are very strong at protecting against fire. | |
