Each ship can carry a different amount. There are two types. #### Using your Cannon First, build either a Naval or a Field cannon like so. Cannon designs are below. If you build it properly, there will be a message in chat noting that you created one. "Buy" it using /cannons buy - it won't charge you any money.

First, you need to clear your cannon with a Ram Rod (a.k.a. a stick.) Then, you'll need to load your cannon with gunpowder. Right click it three times with gunpowder in your hand, then place in a cannonball. There are three types of cannonballs; damage and cost to craft scale by type. Then, once you've placed it in, it's ready to fire! (Cannonballs can be crafted ingame with a determined recipe.) #### Aiming In order to aim it, you should use a clock. Simply right click your loaded cannon with a clock and shift and look to aim where the glass blocks are pointing! Then, simply Left-click to shoot. #### Types of Cannons There are two types of cannons: naval and field cannons. Naval cannons are affixed to ships, and field cannons can be placed anywhere (except for on ships.) Their effects are identical. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://vincere.gitbook.io/vincere-docs/movecraft/cannons.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
