Siegeweapons FAQ

Craft a Siege Table at a regular crafting bench, then place it in your world. The Siege Table is where you'll craft all your siege weapons like catapults and ballistae. Once you have a machine crafted, place it on flat ground and you're ready to use it.

Catapults fire projectiles in a curved arc and are better for hitting targets behind walls or at varying distances. Ballistae shoot arrows in a straight line for precise, direct hits on specific targets.
