« on: February 07, 2015, 04:42:24 am »Correction: you can pick up bolts which hit something and fall at least 1 z level, so shooting at a wall above you or a wall across a small pit is a simple way to skill up crossbows without running out of bolts immediately.
Ultimately though, they are so slow compared to tossing the bolts and there isn't enough of a benefit to shooting vs tossing unless you just like the flavor of using the weapon to do it.
If you just want to kill stuff at a distance and get some skillups go find somewhere that gives the option to (g)et small rocks, fill your backpack up, knap them all (raises a couple of combat important skills) and then set up a macro to toss them t your feet. If you want to skip the knapping step then go find a bandit camp and grab stacks of copper coins, other day I found a stack of 990 copper coins, that'll last you a while for skilling up and they're actually still surprisingly useful if just for slowing things down/stunning them, as you can chip bones and drop things with pain before finishing them off however you prefer.
Yes, copper coins are incredibly useful. Gold ones are a little better (although that might be some weird placebo effect).
On the subject of stacks, how come I can never throw individual 'x bone'? If I, say, butcher a cheetah, then I get 'cheetah bone <27>'. I can never drop or throw just one, only the entire stack. I imagine my guy throwing multiple ribcages.
Any reason for why? (same happens with horns).

« on: February 07, 2015, 03:03:54 am »When I fire from crossbow game moves really fast for like 10x10 rounds so I am usually unsure where did that bolt go. Is there a way to slow it somehow?If you're simply asking for the sake of science, learning, et cetera, then yes, lowering FPS to a ridiculous degree should help, and then you can look for the broken bolt more easily.
However, you cannot pick up fired bolts, so finding out where they go isn't really too useful. Look for a little sign which is a < with an underscore under it, that's a broken bolt/arrow.

Dear Urist McBerserk and his recently-deceased family,
You have contributed to dwarf society by somehow limiting the damage caused by the recent tantrum spiral to only your family and nobody else.
Unfortunately, your relatives are mostly Legendary craftsdwarves, and about half my entire crafting population.
You have been awarded the rank of Major, posthumously of course. Please follow the enclosed map to the lava pool and hit the lever there and await promotion.
--Overseer
