I have thought that an improvised arrow which cannot be harvested for components would be a viable way to introduce more arrows at the cost of more resources to make them and an interim source until the player goes to DP. I have also thought that since ML is a recreation and hunting area it is not reasonable that we can't find a small pack of arrows or arrowheads at one or more locations. Right now it is 2 arrows at the dam and generally only the occasional spawn of an arrow at a deer corpse.
But this is all at the discretion of the devs.
If you run out of all the arrows you crafted, then the journey is on, collect some metal pieces (which are abundent) and then travel to desolation point. It's not that hard or dangerous if you know your route and are prepared. Then craft maybe 10 arrows while you're there and then get out. Or live there. You're set for like a year.
I always die of something else other than running out of arrows. Arrows are not a problem. Plus it wouldn't really pose a challenge if they were quite easy to get now would it? I like the way it is.
But this is too easy for one of the best weapons ingame...
About the thread... yeah is kinda freaking anoying... but thats cause you can get the rifle easily first... and a ton of bullets from everywhere.
As i said, the Bow and arrows is the est weapon ingame for now (lie, maybe the distress pistol)... but we are talking about long plays...
when you think that, if you start in ML then you go to CH, and then to DP to make arrowheaads, even if you are just trying to just go for it.. you can get 20 bullets easily and maybe, cross almost 10 spawn points of the rifle.
I just got back to the Farmstead with 150 arrowheads and i have 47 birch sapplings here and 14 maples ready to go, i haven't been to TWM yet so theres still some more to find but theres no shortage of arrows in the game. I plan/hope on leaving a new bow and 25 arrows at each of my homes across the different zones, like ive already done with the crafted clothes and bedroll in each location.
They're easy to make and its worth a look around Desolation Point, you might even get to meet Scruffy too.
Hahah 150 arrowheads that's crazy! You made them all at the Riken? If so, how did you acquire so much coal in the first place? How much scrap metal did you carry to DP? And how many days did it take you to forge all those arrows?
3 arrowheads x 1 scrap metal ? = 50 of scrap metal
And also the order in which you add your fuel can make that coal more efficient. Coal is the only fuel that pushes a fire over 80C, so use regular wood to get it to 80C first, then add your coal. Once the fire is up to the proper temp, return to using regular wood to maintain that temp as long as you need.
Also, you cant start a fire with coal...
True. I will add wood to get it to 80C, then boil some water or cook something to pass the time in a productive way. Then add coal to raise it to 160, then add wood if I need more duration. Technically you only need a temp of 150, but coal raises temp by 20C per rock, so....160 it is!
Each time i pass through a mine i collect the ore then dump it in a container/floor at the entrance or exit on my way out. After a few days it will all respawn so i do the same again on my way back through.
The hardest part was carting it all back to the Riken but it can be done in a few days. I found it was faster to come down the mountaineers rope at the entrance to DP as you can walk faster on the road opposed to the main path in the snow.
For scrap metal i pillaged the trailers surrounding Hibernia processing. I've left the plant untouched so theres lots more scrap there if i need to make more. After collecting lots of wood i spent around a week at DP and i think around 3 days at the forge.
150 arrowheads is complete overkill but they do have a tendency to disappear so i wanted plenty stashed away at each zone for when i need them. I was also lucky to collect 200 feathers from the murder of crows that used to glitch at the deer corpse in clearcut pre patch. Remember to take some cloth with you if you want to forge the knives and hatchets while your there.
Once upon a time prior to the introduction of DP as a zone.
You really don't need THAT many arrowheads, OP. Once you have 2-3, you should be okay. Even just one is enough for fighting charging wolves. Unlike arrow shafts and feathers, they are infinitely reusable. The trouble comes from glitchiness that causes arrows to disappear. Should be smooth sailing once that is fixed.
Remember that we are not playing a finished game but helping bang on an alpha, so balance is not going to be perfect, and you're going to need to suffer some inconveniences, like arrowhead losses much higher than a hypothetical LD without that glitch.
