The '''smoke shell''' is a type of [[mortar shell]] that, upon exploding, releasing a cloud of [[smoke]] 7.2 tiles in radius. The cloud persists for ?? seconds

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}} The steel cost is increased to 35 if the [[AI Storytellers#Classic mortars|Classic Mortars]] difficulty option is enabled.

It can also be purchased from [[traders]].

== Usage ==
{{Ingredient List|noCollapse=true}}

== Summary ==
When fired from a mortar, {{lc:{{P|Name}}}}s releases a cloud of [[smoke]] in a {{P|Blast Radius}} tile radius. The cloud persists for ?? seconds

When damaged beyond 20% of its health, it will explode after between {{Ticks|30}} and {{Ticks|60}}, releasing a cloud of smoke in a radius around itself. The radius depends on the quantity in the stack, with a single shell covering a 11 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: 11+((24*0.4)^0.5) round 2}} tiles at a full stack of 25.

They are also used in the construction of [[IED smoke trap]]s.

== Analysis ==
{{Stub}}
{{See also|Smoke launcher}}

The radius from an exploding smoke shell is significantly larger than that of a fired smoke shell. Depending on the purpose, placing a single shell and causing it to explode may be more efficient than firing it from a mortar.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/1.3.3066|1.3.3066]] - Steel requirement decreased from 35 -> 25 unless Classic Mortar difficulty option enabled.
