Brute-force destruction

While obelisks generally have a positive effect on your colony, it is possible to destroy them by dealing enough damage before they take effect. You can do this with pawns wielding frag grenades. You'll need 3 pawns to destroy an obelisk without triggering adverse effects.

• Suppress the obelisk down to 0%.
• Melee attack the obelisk until its activity level increase (not the activity level itself) rises above +20%/day. The obelisk's health should be at 80% or lower by this point. ^[80%?]
• Suppress the obelisk to 0% again.
• Melee attack the obelisk, this time until it almost reaches 100% activity.
• Move all pawns to a safe distance and start throwing grenades at the obelisk at the same time. After 1 or 2 throws, the obelisk should have been destroyed.

Alternatively, you can use high-explosive shells, 2 ancient mining charges or a diabolus' cannon to destroy the obelisk without having to use multiple pawns and suppression.
