Orbital bombardment targeter

The Orbital bombardment targeter is a powerful single-use utility artifact.

It requires manual targeting, and has a 3 second activation time. Once activated, a targeting laser will shoot down from above and a series of approximately 30 explosions, one every 18 ticks (0.3 secs), will rock the ground near it for a 540 ticks (9 secs), dealing massive damage. The targeting radius is approximately 20 tiles, while each individual explosion's radius is 7 tiles and deals 50 bomb-type damage.

Can hit objects though mountain , decent at dealing with late-stage infestations .

Is great at dealing with tough mech cluster that need to be wiped out immediately , since the bomb damage type deals x4 to impassible building.

It has a targeting range of 45 tiles and requires a line of sight from the user to the target (it cannot target through walls).

It takes up the utility slot of the body, being able to be carried with a weapon.

Trivia

Since 1.3.3067 escaping prisoners are capable of picking up and using these.
