How to distinguish arrows - thanks
Ok I have 4 types of arrows when I look at the craft mat

Poison
Flaming
regular wooden
and some arrows I found

I want to make more Poison arrows but cannot figure out which ones are the plane wooden arrows; furthermore, it looks as if even if I grab the poison arrows which I don't even know which ones these are if I grab them I can repoison them which is a waste.

Finally when I bring up the arrows to shoot myself in the foot I can choose the flaming arrow that is easy cause its red and there is the lighter icon, a green arrow ??, and then two other arrows .. so which is what in those. I found some arrows in a suitcase I think they have a plastic looking feather ...

so which is what in those too .. thanks

I cannot find the answer to this on the internet ect.

normal wooden, flaming and suitcase arrows (they are black and looks like factory made) are easy to distinguish idk about poisoned ones i have never made poison arrows, probably green arrows are poisoned. im fine either of them but for mutants i normally use flaming ones they are op. there are also bone arrows. if u want to change arrows quickly, just look down and press R easy as that to pull preferable arrows without choosing them from inventory .

red arrows are fire, green arrows are poison, the slim black ones are modern arrows (the found ones), and the wooden ones are crafted arrows. Crafted arrows are the ones that can be upgraded into fire or poison. Modern arrows are stronger than a standard crafted arrow, but cant be upgraded with fire or poison. Although I'd be less helpful on remembering which is which when you do look down to switch arrow types since I tend to exclusively hoard the modern arrows and dont end up switching arrows often. Even when i need fire for certain enemies i instead go get the flare gun to serve that purpose.

Somewhat unrelated but worth noting, do not use an arrow basket to store any arrow type other than crafted (which can be difficult to ensure since it doesnt let you pick a specific arrow type to place). Any arrow stored in an arrow basket will default to a crafted arrow upon server reload, regardless what it originally was.

Ok thanks for all the info when I press the I key I see .. Red barely Green and wooden lookiing earlier I guess it was not ever light enough when I looked because I only saw red and the rest looked the same .. Oh I could change the graphical lighting too for this ..

I do not want to grab a poison arrow and then make it into a flamer by mistake
