🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or NMM, install this mod and let it overwrite the vanilla mortar files — no extra setup needed.
Place the howitzer in your settlement and assign a settler to it to use it as artillery, just like the vanilla mortar.
Check your load order: since it replaces a vanilla item, it should load after any mods that alter the mortar or settlement objects.
