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
Smoke shells can be crafted at a Machining table once the Mortars research project has been completed. They require 25 Steel, 800 ticks (13.33 secs) of work, 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.
Summary
When fired from a mortar, smoke shells releases a cloud of smoke in a 7.2 tile radius. The cloud persists for ?? seconds
When damaged beyond 70% 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.
Analysis

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.
