Unremovable objects created by players can be a pain.
So why not go big or go home with the addition of the cannon to blast down those ancient walls and unused newcommen towers?
The cannon could make use of already ingame items, such as the fractional distillation tower (go look it up on onetech)
for the body, the kraut stomper for the rammer, and small pulleys for wheels? (or regular wooden wheels, whichever.).
and we already have all the ingredients for black powder!
make cannon (all items above plus some extra (like planks and stuff) to strap the all together)
put thread into the cannon
pour a bowl of black powder into the cannon
put a fleece into the cannon
put a iron cannon ball into the cannon (round stone for fragmentation shells against people)
light it with fire brand
After 5-10 seconds of both audio and visual warning the cannon will fire. (Can be doused)
anything 10 tiles straight in front of the cannon is killed instantly and destroyed (cannonball stops after it hits 2 walls/unremoveable objects)
if round stone is used: instantly kills and destroys some removable objects straight in front of it, and anyone in a 3x8 in front of the cannon is wounded (if not killed)
Jason likes chaoti-I mean, interesting items and mechanics.
this fits the bill. being a ok, and expensive tool. while having more than one purpose.
Edit: more technicalities
If you are within 3 tiles of the cannon when it is fired you will go deaf for a few minutes (10+)
Carbon filament can be used to ignite the cannon instantly when used as the fuse
The cannon can be moved quickly by rail (with pulley wheels)
Or as slow as a sledge even with wooden wheels (immobile without wheels)
