Tox shell

Tox shell

An artillery shell containing reagents that, when combined, generate deadly tox gas. When fired, it will stick into the ground and release tox gas for some time before expiring.
Tox gas burns the lungs and eyes, causing a temporary shortness of breath and reduction in sight. Continued exposure to tox gas results in toxic buildup that can be lethal.

The tox shell is a type of mortar shell that, upon exploding, releasing a cloud of tox gas ? tiles in radius. The cloud persists for ?? seconds.

Acquisition[edit]

Tox shells can be crafted at a machining table once the tox gas research project has been completed. Each requires Steel 10 Steel, Chemfuel 10 Chemfuel, 800 ticks (13.33 secs) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 4. The cost is increased to Steel 15 steel and Chemfuel 15 chemfuel if the Classic Mortars difficulty option is enabled.

Usage[edit]

  • Product Ingredients Type [ExpandCollapse]
    IED tox trap IED tox trap Content added by the Biotech DLC Tox shell 2 Building - Security

    • Summary[edit]

    Rough AOE of a single shell when fired outside. Gas is more concentrated indoors.

    Tox shells can be fired by a mortar to create tox gas. When the shell lands, the shell lingers and emits tox gas for ? ticks.

    Also used to create IED tox traps.

    Mostly useful for making IED tox traps. It is also faster to unlock for these as it doesn't require Mortars to be researched.

    As for Mortar Ammunition it is useful for hitting enemies where damaging shells would cause collateral damage - e.g. near friendly structures or providing danger-close fire support for tox gas immune pawns, they have a longer radius then explosive shells, making a high shooting skill less necessary. Note that tox shells aren't effective by themselves, they are unlikely to kill anyone, so they generally must be paired with sending out colonists to fight. But tox gas does inflicts significant statistical penalties if you can fight enemies in it, so they can make winning battles a lot easier. However, to maintain uptime on it, more than one mortar may have to be manned.
