basic artillery

[Boneless pizza]

artillery is a need for base defense.

I keep seeing these pop up. For what purpose. I mean even with the wheels they aren't mobile for the terrain. Most enemies would be to mobile as the aiming of one of these took effort from usually 2-3 full grown men.  I mean yes if they were in the game I would obliterate a aphid given the chance but these or 80's kids and they wouldn't be ready for this

Thou if you want artillery making water balloons with bug rubber filled with acid(burn), sap(slow), honeydew (aggro on target)

Then make one of those giant sling shots that took two people holding it and the person firing

thank you for that great suggestion. the cannon was just to spark some kind of ideas for better weapons.

this on a rotating disk might do the job.

Hmm for the construction that looks to be feasible with in game resources

4+acorn shells

4 stems

2 bug rubber

1 berry leather

Ammo

catapults and trebuchets are great for long range fights with spiders and large groups of bugs.

Batista could be used for a more accurate long range weapon.

mortar cannon: could use a bratburst to launch peblets out of a hollow weed stem.

This might be useful for those who build their bases near mob spawning points. Things to do in the morning: drink a dew drop, eat a roast and one shot those mosquitos with an awesome catapult.
