    Has anyone noticed that ballista ammo is really scarce?

    When a ballista runs out of ammo I find it's better to destroy it and wait for a new ballista crate than trying to reload the ballista, since the ammo is produced very slowly and it's only like 3 arrows.

    Catapult is similar. It's usually better to destroy the catapult than going through the trouble of gathering stone to reload it.

    Just pointing out what I think are flaws in the game's mechanics, maybe someone can think of a way to improve this.

    Maybe faster production instead of more ammo?

    I agree, and I think that the ballista ammo should replenish itself, much like vehicles in BF. The process should be slower here ofc.

    I agree with Monsteri that the ammo replenishing itself slowly is a good idea for siege engines. However, I also find the current Ballista with Explosive Ammo rather overpowered. It can destroy a huge stone tower in 2 - 3 shots, making building and defending somewhat unnecessary.

    While it barely damages door blocks, you can make two layer thick door wall in front then place normal blocks, while it's expensive to build it will withstand any type of explosives pretty much, even kegs.

    I think the ammo should be replenished in a stack of ammo instead of one by one though.
