I meant 300 for the bow. I was giving an example, I don't know what the exact figures are; it was more about the difference between the two types of weapons.

Apart from that being completely lost on me, what's your point?

Put a torch under some blocks and it will light up stuff on top of the blocks. I design lighting for a living, light doesn't do that. lol

I mean that a crossbow has far less range than a longbow which would give some differentiation between the arrow-based weapons. 60 feet versus 300 feet of range according to YouTube. A crossbow allows a novice to use larger bolts compared to what they could draw back with a longbow. It's like...

The crossbow has too much range, hits with too little impact and the handling makes it seem like it is designed specifically to get you killed. If you are not in a completely safe position it's a death trap.

This guy gets it. Strange how I get XP for upgrading blocks but not for making them in the first place.

I'd like a water wheel I can drop into a stream to make electricity as well as PV panels and battery storage. Cornbread takes an extra step than corn on the cob to produce but gives less of a bonus somehow. Corn on the cob and a few other food items give far less HP than I think would be...

Cant judge before we try it really. Well, we can but that would be mean. lol

Got to say I agree with the OP, being able to grow food is currently stopping me starving to death so getting that going much earlier would be a big bonus and interesting gameplay that I have so far missed out on.

A set of files for crafting folks and a set of files for explorers would help quite a bit here. I'm assuming that's not on the cards. The problem with modding the game is that every time a new version comes out the mods are out of date and could be completely useless. It's a shame that the...

I'm level 62 on day 38 and I've travelled 139 KM, I assume that is less than average. I have found a few stations but all but a handful have been broken. Not everyone explores the map as much as you so they don't find as much usable stuff like stations or unique items.

I've got to say the amount of negative comments regarding 'alternative' playstyles to constant exploration in this thread are a bit depressing. If you want to get all your thrills from shooting zombies in the head, feel free. I'm going to be running around on my jack jones demolishing buildings...

Not everyone wants to be constantly exploring the map. I enjoy the crafting and base building much more; having certain items be completely unobtainable until I have explored 75% of the map does not work for the way I want to play the game. I'm sure I am not the only one.

I think you are perhaps slightly over estimating the availability of work benches in Navasgane? I've never found one that is not broken.

Same as the wrench! I spent ages looking for one of them.
