I know that there is the current problem that reclaimed bolts will not be put back into piles of 25, causing archers to carry only 1 shot in their quivers.

Is there any way around this besides dumping these bolts and making new ones? I hate to waste my ever so valuable steel bolts...

Any help is greatly appreciated.

i read something somehwere in the modding forum about having an option in the metal reactions that made 25 single bolts into one stack of 25 bolts. i dont remember much about it, but it sounded fairly simple. I dont know if the person actually wrote this, or if it was just some idea. worth checking out though if you really want. i just get the caravans to bring me loads of steel.

Thanks, I'll try to find that.

If anybody knows what the reaction is, please tell me.

I believe it's something like this:

code:

[REACTION:RESTACK_BOLTS]
[NAME:re-stack bolts]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BOLTS:METAL:STEEL]

This makes takes ten single Steel bolts and turns them into a stack of 10 Steel bolts. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out how to make a different amount.

There are supposedly problems with that, such as the reaction picking up ten stacks of bolts and making one stack of twenty-five bolts out of that.  Needless to say, that's not very helpful.

I suggest melting them down.  There's supposedly a bug that makes a single bolt provide one third of a bar, so you'll make your steel back in no time (and then some).  However, I don't know if that's actually true.  Still though, it's better than dumping.

Yeah, they make too much metal.
But it HAS to be done in ONE smelter.  (At least three of them, so it makes the bar)

[Hague]

Wow, so adamantine practice bolts DO make sense

[Slappy Moose]

Okay. I guess I'll go back to melting down bolts until Toady fixes the bug.

[Metalax]

I'm pretty sure that bug was fixed a while ago, at least I never seem to get excessive bars from melting lone bolts at my dedicated melting smelter.

That smelter reaction can be useful if you go to the trouble of forbidding/reclaiming the usable stacks, but it's to much micromanagement for most purposes. You also run the risk of masterwork defacement tantrums for melting down their masterwork bolt.

Most of the time I'll just use single bolts as an extra trade good.
