Quiver and Arrow capacity

[Miir]

I'm sure it's been said before, but the maximum number of arrows you can carry is too low (especially with the new crafted arrows cutting into that maximum) for how annoying they are to craft/retrieve. I always try to retrieve my arrows but the attrition rate is enough that I run out during combat, or just over time. Good luck trying to find 3D printed arrows in the snow lmao
My suggestion is to add a quiver made from hide and cloth to double your capacity. You should be able to see it on your hip when you look down to change arrows. This would give you an indication of how many arrows you have left without having to open your inventory.

Also, the hitbox for picking up arrows is very imprecise and could really due with having priority over picking up bodies and rocks, as well as just having a more generous pickup range.

I don't use the bow because of this, definitely needs a quiver of some sort or even just up the amount you can carry.

Having a finite arrow capacity makes you be mindful of using them and retrieving them. Though picking them up is definitely a pain sometimes. But wanting to carry more could contradict those complaints about the game being easy or not realistic in the survival department.

I finally found the 3d printer I use it to only make arrows - ya get 20 .. .I make ALL of these arrows exploding ... This leaves me 20 arrows for Fire, Poison, and basic stone arrows..

I have 20 crosbow bolt arrows but have not found the crossbow yet .. found the canopener finally after more than 100 days and realized there is only cat food in the cans which give minimal food help ..

Finally found the rebreather .. after .. wait for it 100 days .. I hate having to go to the internet to figure out stuff ..

its a long story the rebreather but it may have spoiliers in the explanation so I will skip it .

I did make a flask though, and a red mask, and some gps things .. too but those are one time things.

so I roll with 20 exploding arrows that I only use on the siamese twins if I don't want to fool with them .. but mostly on the big huge round things or the upside down legs thats it ..

Spears for the giant mouth with bad breath and spears for lot of other stuff and the arrows which gives me 20 stone arrows for this .. about 8 fire and 8 poison and 4 for hunting ... They give you 30 stones and 20 sticks and all the feathers you can carry so .. that is about 28 arrows you can make before ya run out of stones...

I make all the crappy arrows into exploding ones and use them on the harder enemies. just have to let them get pretty close before you shoot. I use the 3d arrows for the cannibals. I store 3d arrows at my base, 1 or 2 arrow storages full. I will always use the 3d arrows and when i start to see the carbon ones then it's time to reload from my stored arrows. I get kelvin to get the arrows, he can see them from afar. It's one of his few super powers.

I sure wouldn't complain if they added bone arrows to the game.

Impressive Tactics.. .

Crossbow bolt to the head puts 'em down real good.

considering you can pick up your arrows after firing them, I don't find the carry limit very...limiting

It took you 100 days to find the rebreather?

Thats like one of the first items. I mean most people beat the game in under 30-40 days

Most people?

I've played a zillion hours...don't know really how much...and still don't have very much at all. Many of us aren't trying to rush uneccessarily for no reason and have the game be over with, when there's a lot of potential for gameplay. I wouldn't say most, because I can't know, but you also might should not say most either.

I haven't beat the game yet either. I'm over 1400 hours of play....not quite a zillion :) I do the story stuff till i get the upgraded katana then i finish my base and get bored and start another game. To me it's all about the progression and not the destination.

Yeah I'm just exploring around but this is what happened .. I went to the cave that has it .. and I'm up high and I look down and I see a shark in the water and it's the beginning of the game because I crashed on the beach .. so this is how my pathetic mind works.....

I brilliantly deduct ... well, I'm not going down there I will probably get stuck I probably need the rebreather if I go down there so I left the cave having explored all the rest of it then a few caves later .. which I mostly spend time up top anyway but eventually a few caves later and no rebreather I figure I got to go down there where the shark is .. so I do and wham there is the rebreather I think I shot the shark with the 9mm then swam with the rebreather ....

but this is how they do the forest and sotf for example, you have to find stuff on the internet to find out how to do stuff ya get a GPS you cannot combine it with anything but you have to combine it with a stick so you have to have an imagination where you realize take out a stick and see if you can put it on a stick ..

I enjoy building different outposts and stuff - I found out yesterday you can stick logs to a rock wall and do stuff.

I noticed you can attach a log to a tree, no idea why but you can do it.

The majority of player beat the game in under 25 days. 100% completion is usually done 50, because you need 50. But at that point people usually AFK after 30 till 50 because its the final achievement.

You are the far far outlier. OP getting the 2nd or 3rd progression item at 100 days is crazy.

Both those things are in the handbook tutorial.......

Day 100 without re-breather while using internet guides is wild. The skill gap in this game displayed on the forum is huge. We have two threads back to back. One complaining about not having enough inventory room and struggling while the other complains about having too much inventory room with the game not providing enough of a challenge.

But again, the number show the people on this thread are the far far outlier, not the norm.
