This is the primary base for the catapult, but you should add some Motor Wheels to the catapult's four corners. This will be used to hold a Bomb, Flaming Ball, or Boulder. Place a Holder on the top side of the opposite side of the arm. Next, you need to add a Contractable Spring to the front of the arm, which you connect to the Wooden Block at the base directly below. Moving on.Īdd a Small Wooden Block to the top of the Hinge.Īnd next add two Wooden Blocks on the front and back sides of the Small Wooden Block so the arm is the same length as the body. The Hinge is what allows the catapult arm to swing, with the Contractable Spring powering its movement. Add a Hinge to the top of that block as seen below. It can be just about anything, but here we're using a base in the shape of a capital 'I'.įrom here, add a single Wooden Block standing upright in the middle of the machine. In order to toss Boulders, you will need a longer base and arm, and may need to fiddle with the Contractable Spring's parameters.įirst you must make the base. This design is not great at throwing Boulders due to their heavy weight, but does fine with Bombs and Flaming Balls. Once built, press the 'L' key to throw your weapon.

This one is a little more simple than the next, so we'll focus on it first so you can get a grasp of the very basics of how to make a catapult. If you want to use these designs but want more throwing power to them, make the arms and base longer and try your hand at the Key Mapper and Parameter Tuning tool to adjust the Contractable Springs' elasticity.
Motor Wheels - For movement across the battlefield. Springs pull the far end of the arm up, to toss whatever is inside the Holder forward. Contractable Springs - The heart of the catapult. Holders - Can hold a Bomb, a Flaming Ball, or a Boulder. A huge help keeping your creation together when using a catapult. Braces - This helps keep machines steady when connecting two blocks together. For instance, up and down or left and right. Hinges - This block allows movement between two directions parallel to one another. Wooden Blocks and Small Wooden Blocks - Basic building blocks. These two designs use the following blocks: (A Flamethrower at the front, maybe?)Ĭatapults make use of the Contractable Spring block, which contracts when you press the block's key (L). Only the base is being shown for both designs here, and they can be added upon very easily. The designs here are simple, much like those in my steering machine guide, so that even brand new Besiege players can build and make use of them easily.
