11/5/2023 0 Comments Dwarf fortress bolts![]() And as I said, I occasionally see the dwarves use them. Yeah, that was my thought too, but I checked them all and they're correct. Also, make sure every archery target is defined as its own shooting range. If they're complaining about floor space, the ranges are probably pointed in the wrong direction. ![]() Every now and then a single dwarfs shoots a few bolts, so I know that the ranges are at least partially functional, but I obviously do something wrong. Occasionally I get some message about there not being enough floor space or something, which I don't understand what to do about, one of the ranges is out in the free air with PLENTY of room. For some reason my marksdwarves hardly ever seem to want to practice, even though I've got a number of archery ranges, they do have crossbows (and do kick butt in fights with goblins), are all off-duty and have plenty of bone and wood bolts. (Why would anyone practice sneaking close to a target on an achery range?)- Albedo 20:34, 22 June 2009 (UTC) Hunting (ambusher) gets the dwarf close without spooking the animal - the weapon is then used for the kill. Don't confuse "hunting" with "using a weapon" - the latter is needed at some point, but they are two different processes. "Hunting" with a crossbow doesn't train any weapon - hitting and killing things with that weapon does. Well, it's to be expected - ambushing is sneaking, marksdwarf is shooting.hunting does both, practice at the range only the latter - Koltom 23:40, 21 June 2009 (UTC) Unfortunately it will also increase hammerdwarf skill ) - Koltom 23:53, 27 February 2008 (EST)05:45, 11 December 2008 (EST) Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadow archmagi ( talk Crossbow's quality level is directly added to the soldier's effective marksdwarf skill increasing his accuracy and rate of fire.- Another 13:11, 9 December 2007 (EST) training = ĭoes say, hunting with a crossbow increase marksdwarf skill? In ranged only material and quality of the bolt affect it's damage potential. When it is used in melee - crossbow material is important as all other melee weapons. Zchris13 20:59, 25 February 2009 (EST) Xbow material ĭo someone know if your crossbow hit harder, or do more damage, when it's made of metal rather than wood or bone in the same way a melee weapon would? - Eagle of Fire 02:42, 28 November 2007 (EST) If it is set to chase, they will NOT reload. Squad chases opponents, I think is the one that needs to be changed. ![]() The trigger is setting their military preferences, from the squad menu. Do I need to stand them down to trigger the resupply? - Aristoi 19:24, 22 January 2009 (EST) Xazak 09:26, 5 November 2007 (EST) What triggers them to resupply? They seem to stand around after finishing off their bolts. I think it is, if only to warn that if they run out of bolts while they're fighting something, they won't immediately run back to the stockpile to get more. Is it worth noting (on this page) that dwarves will use the hammer skill to bludgeon with their crossbow if they run out of ammo? - Matryx 09:22, 5 November 2007 (EST) Especially nice when they're very highly skilled and 35-45 bolts isn't enough to last the duration of a fight! Training with Crossbows, Wooden/Bone Bolts more than preferred ĭwarves will automatically use only wooden or bone bolts, you needn't worry about metal bolts being wasted on practice.īased on classic DF, bone or wooden bolts will indeed be used to fight if the dwarf doesn't have anything else though, and they sometimes would just coincidentally have a handful of "practice" bolts when they went out to battle thus having a useful backup. 1 Training with Crossbows, Wooden/Bone Bolts more than preferred.
