When I say "Neolithic," I'm referring to the Tribal technologies described in RimWorld, like pemmican and passive freezers. Since the era of the game is set in the Wild West (1860-90s in our world), it's not too unreasonable that they wouldn't have this technology.
Yes, this technology is[/is] basically catapults, but they give a really complex and industrial feel than a simple giant slingshot.
Also, some say that it mixes the types of technologies together too much, then in that case, the slingshots could have damage, range and accuracy reduced to the point that many of them would be required to equal 2 mortars and they would be relatively closer to your base than a mortar. Additionally, their only food is a lot of pemmican and they would get new ammo delivered to them personally with longer intervals than in an Outlander or Pirate seige.
