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.
