Give the ability to create crossbows that you can use with arrows.
Crafting
In the carpenter area, have a mini-bow stick, (like the normal one but cheaper) combine with dry grass.
Then create a handle and combine some sort of metal trigger or metal crossbow skeleton to create a crossbow.
Why would someone use this?
Better accuracy and damage, but make it so it reloads slowly.
So, set a slower reload speed isn’t going to be very much a thing since everything in ATT is very manual handling, but a roller reload could do the trick.
Also in my opinion, it could even be a full size bow, no one said crossbow must be smaller than a bow in this game, so maybe we can add like a crossbow grip and rolling reload pieces in carpenter or blacksmith than combine them with a bow to craft a cross bow, this way regular arrows could do the work too, with out changing too much of the current content.
And the roller piece can be used on crafting a fishing rod too in the future, so there we can have more gaming mechanics and contents with out them adding too many new molds or blueprints.
