This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

Siege operators are responsible for manning siege weapons, loading them with any available ammunition, and firing on command or at will. A sufficiently skilled siege operator will always fire them perfectly straight (to the north, south, east, or west), never veering off to the sides.

This is a task sometimes delegated to peasants as a cheap labor, as it can get them skilled swiftly. Catapults are also sometimes used to destroy unwanted stone.

While viewing a dwarf's general stats, this skill is grouped with the combat skills instead of the typical labor skills.
