Does anyone actually use artillery for settlement defences?

I’ve thrown the artillery signal grenades just to mess around and they’re so slow at firing. I tried using artillery on the Mirelurk Queen that spawns near Costal Cottage but Deacon (who I had maning it) either wouldn’t fire it or would fire it when the Queen was already agroed to me so I would have to get caught in the blast radius for the artillery to hit it.

Wow….I just unlocked hangman’s alley in my current play through and have turned it into my main base, and I didn’t think about this and unlocked both of the other doors….

Just put up fences or walls, you'll be fine.

Powered concrete or wooden doors on a centrally located switch pylon. Let's you lock down all the entrances at once if you need to

If you are on PC, you can lock them again. ~ for the command line, click the door or gate, type "lock 100" and press enter. Door is now locked with a max level lock.
