    Doors and wall won't stand a chance.
    Perhaps the construction of this thing wouldn't be worth it considering that it is possible to just hammer through walls and doors. What if there were giant stone doors/gates or reinforced walls which would take too much time to just bash through with tools? That is where this siege engine would come in handy.

    How do you suppose a battering ram would work in this game? Building the battering ram at the door only to hit a couple blocks in-front of it. I'm not criticizing this I would like to see some sort of anti fortress weapon also but would be hard to use it with your ground being destroyed underneath you. Maybe have like a log that after being frame built by an engineer could be picked up or dropped with "E" and could be carried by engineers or knights after having it built so you could actually have it function better in a siege.

    I'm thinking about large-scale destruction, not the demolition of a pair of tiny little blocks

    We're likely to implement a ram as a carried object, not as a building - it would be constructed at a siege workshop. That's the plan as of now, anyway, we might make a constructable great ram or something for knocking down a wall in one fell swoop but it would be more fun and more dramatic to do that with catapults and explosives, rams should really just be for breaching.
