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.[Duration?]

Acquisition[edit]

Smoke shells can be crafted at a machining table once the mortars research project has been completed. Each requires Steel 25 Steel, 800 ticks (13.33 secs) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 4. The steel cost is increased to 35 if the Classic Mortars difficulty option is enabled.

It can also be purchased from traders.

Usage[edit]

  • Product Ingredients Type [ExpandCollapse]
    IED smoke trap IED smoke trap Smoke shell 2 Building - Security

    • Summary[edit]

    When fired from a mortar, smoke shells releases a cloud of smoke in a 7.2 tile radius. The cloud persists for ?? seconds.[Duration?]

    When damaged beyond 20% of its health, it will explode after between 30 ticks (0.5 secs) and 60 ticks (1 sec), 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 14.1 tiles at a full stack of 25.

    They are also used in the construction of IED smoke traps.

    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.

    At the cost of only Steel 25 Steel, they can be used to support melee pawns against ranged enemies. Typically this isn't worth it over other options, but sending fleshbeastsContent added by the Anomaly DLC at enemies via psychic ritualContent added by the Anomaly DLC spawns a lot of melee pawns close to enemies. A smoke shell helps them avoid ranged fire while getting into melee, improving survival rates when they are most vulnerable. Because they spawn relatively close by and lock down ranged fire once they get into melee, the limited duration of the shell is less relevant and using a mortar ensures that your pawns are kept far away from danger.
