How to Set Up Arrow and Fireball Towers
Placing the Tower Dispensers
Tower dispensers fire automatically at targets in range. Choose the payload that fits your base:
- Arrow Tower Dispenser — basic arrow fire.
- Flaming Arrow Tower Dispenser — arrows that set targets alight.
- Magic Arrow Tower Dispenser — magic arrows.
- Gatling Arrow Tower Dispenser — rapid arrow fire.
- Fireball Tower Dispenser — launches fireballs.
Mount them on walls or pillars facing the approach you want to defend. Elevation helps: place them two or more blocks above ground so they clear your own walls.
Wiring and Coverage
1. Build a pillar or wall segment at the edge of your base.
2. Place the tower dispenser facing outward toward the mob path.
3. Overlap coverage — put a Gatling Arrow Tower Dispenser at the main gate and Fireball Tower Dispenser units at corners.
4. Back the towers with a Monster Spawner or Dungeon Monster Spawner placed behind a wall so mobs walk into the kill zone instead of reaching the towers.
Pair towers with ground traps like Mundane Spike Trap or Fire Floor Trap so anything that survives the arrows is finished at the door.
