Stat Modifiers
The incendiary shell is a type of mortar shell that upon exploding, deals 10 damage in a 2.9-tile radius (i.e. a 5x5 square) and sets the area on fire. As with all mortar shells, it explodes on deterioration to 0 hp or when damaged to 20hp.
Acquisition
Incendiary shells are made using 10 steel and 20 chemfuel at a machining table and requires Mortars to be researched. Requires a Crafting skill of at least 4. The steel cost is increased to 20 if the Classic Mortars difficulty option is enabled.
They can also be purchased from traders.
Storage
As with all explosive items, these should be stored in separate storage containers. For maximum protection, put each stack of shells in a separate 1x1 stone box to prevent chain reactions. Pawns currently in a tantrum should be stopped at all costs, whether it be by arresting, creating another stockpile zone with a higher priority than the shell zone and prioritizing hauling the shells, or simply by shooting the pawn.
Version history
In 1.1 its crafting cost was increased (15 --> 20 steel and chemfuel cost).
- 1.3.3066 - Steel requirement decreased from 20 -> 10 unless Classic Mortar difficulty option selected.
