Catapults

A Catapult icon.png Catapult is a ballistic device which can fire Boulder icon.png Boulders which deal damage to pilgrims, Creatures, and Trial by Fire icon.png Trial by Fires. Getting hit by a Boulder fired from a ballistic device will cause you to be briefly Stunned icon.png Stunned, deals a variable amount of Blood damage, and adds about 25 minutes of Concussion icon.png Concussion.

Different objects fired from them each have a different severity, additionally your Concussion can stack, so getting hit multiple times will increase the severity, and therefore the length, of your Concussion as well as the amount of Black Bile you lost.

Building Structures

Selecting a structure from the build menu or its sub-menus will place a Building Blueprint Sign at the position of the cursor and then clicking a valid building location on the ground will place the sign and open a window prompting the player to deposit the necessary materials and build the structure.

Each material is followed by a series of three numbers.

  • The first indicates how many of that resource are needed but have not been deposited.
  • The second number indicates how many of that resource have been deposited but have not been built into the structure.
  • The third number indicates how many of that resource have been built into the structure.

Players can take their time building structures by depositing and committing resources to the build sign by clicking the "build" button. The character will build as much of the structure as they can with the available resources. They can return with more resources in the future.

Note that if no resources are deposited, the build sign will disappear when the player walks away. If resources are deposited, but the player hasn't built them into the structure, the uncommitted resources will slowly disappear over time. This is to combat players using build signs as cheap and overpowered storage containers they can deposit and retrieve resources from.
