Onager

The onager is mobile torsion artillery: a single arm, wound against a twisted skein, flung forward into a crossbeam. It was called the mangonel before beta.10. It launches Stone, Incendiary Pots or Stone Grapeshot and can be moved directly or by a draft mount.

Operation

1. Right-click with Stone or another supported stone block, an Incendiary Pot or Stone Grapeshot.
2. Wait for the arm to finish winding.
3. Optionally sneak-right-click with an empty hand to change tension.
4. For an Incendiary Pot, right-click the machine with flint and steel to light the fuse.
5. Mount and press Space, or use the ready machine from the ground, to fire.

Launching a player

A player can use a saddle as the onager's payload. Finish the timed saddle-loading action to climb into the sling, then have another operator fire the machine.
