The Catapult is a weapon of destruction, not a vehicle. Position it using the E key to push or pull, or hitch it to a horse for towing. Once in place, load it up and let the fun begin!
Controls

Firing: Look at the firing arm and press the E key to launch.
Towing Controls
Utilize a horse: Back the horse to the front centre of the Catapult.
Hitching: Look down towards the horse to see the Towing prompt and press E.
Unhitching: Press E again to unhitch.
Ammunition Types
Propane Explosive Bomb: Raid-type projectile, similar to a Rocket with 125 damage to stone walls and foundations.
Firebomb: Incendiary Rocket that ignites on impact, leaving a fire effect.
Scattershot: Anti-personnel munitions causing significant area damage.
People: Yes, you can launch players in the Catapult for some extra fun!
