Once upon a time, some tinkerers decided to make a weapon to rain mass destruction on the incoming hordes. This resulted in a towering structure with a long stretchy handle and a cup at the end. Unfortunately, it took forever to crank up and tended to misfire, explode, break, or otherwise completely and utterly malfunction. And it wasn't a very good weapon either.
Use
Once the town has built the Catapult, a random 
Citizen will get a message from The Crow that they have been selected as the one to operate the town catapult, and that they should go to the catapult area.
- If you are the citizen that was selected a new icon will appear next to the area where you can find links for projects and the watchtower, workshop, etc.
- When you get to the Catapult area you will be given an option to enter (X,Y) coordinates to launch any item in your inventory.
- This action will require 4 per item until a
Upgraded Catapult is built.
- This action will require 4
Notes
- In Season 3:
- Primitive Catapult were renamed to Catapult.
- The description changed slightly, the old one was:
The catapult is a special machine which allows you fire all kinds of things into the World Beyond: very useful for preparing the ground for tomorrow's expeditions.
- Containers like
Manbag or 
Shopping Trolley have been tested to not be transportable by the catapult. - The Catapult has roughly 10%-20% to shoot imprecisely.
- An imprecise projection causes the object to land 1 away from the targeted zone.
- An imprecise projection causes the object to land 1
- Items sometimes break into
Unrecognisable Remains on the zone they hit when catapulted.
Exploding Grapefruits always break.
