− | + | 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. 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, has 28 cooldown seconds and a 11-tile forced miss radius. Mortars explode a 4.9-tile radius when destroyed and deal 50 damage | |

− | + | There is no way to increase mortar accuracy. Reliable shelling for this mortar is somewhat expensive and usually requires multiple manned mortars. Do not forget to unassign pawns from mortars, or they will become exhausted, starve, and potentially suffer a [[mental break]]. | |

− | + | Mortars are effective to attack [[Raid#Siege|siege]] bases, shell raiders while they are preparing or walking towards your base, or shell 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. | |
