Was there a change to Archery?   I can't make a bow better than Short Bow, or an arrow better than "field point wooden arrow" without finding a book?  And no matter how much I shoot FPWA from the Short Bow, Archery skill won't advance past 2?   That's a bit annoying that the skill itself seems to be capped by the equipment...   Especially since throwing any kind of junk is propelling Throwing almost to 5 so far...

It makes sense to me. Your not gonna be a master of the long bow by using a short bow. I always found it weird how you could make good high quality arrows without ever learning from a book. Is a good change. anything short of the more powerful robots would all fall to my arrows. Now there (if there actually IS a change) I and other people will have a little more work to do to get to such power.

Yeah, skill levels can't be raised by easy actions, like any crafting at -1 from your skill, or certain monsters.  My dodge has been at 5 for a while.  Firing weapons is also a capping skill, so shortbows will only get you so far.

[Gentlefish]

Pro tip: YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS To craft better arrows, you must use the fabrication skill.

Ah, no more necromancer dodge-training?

Only to a certain level, after that you gotta find rougher things to train against.  Like turrets.

You'll need a Bowyer's Buddy and Fletcher's Friend book for crafting recipes of higher bows and ammo.

Say, does Ninjitsu still work with armed combat? It's name is in red when I wield a weapon.

[DreamThorn]

I think the fact that it shows the name means that it is active.  Otherwise it would show 'Normal'.

Not only it works, it's amazing.

A piece of advice: never angry an NPC if you don't have power to withstand their affections... Because others may and actually would suffer when they will come across homicidal hobo with firearms that can butcher on distance.

I decided to start attracting eyebots and the other robots they spawn so I could take them apart and collect there sweet, sweet electronic parts. It's a bit dangerous since I only have leather armor but meh the only reason I have trouble with them at all is the riot bots relaxation gas, I imagine I could become immune/resistant to it with a gas mask or one of its related items.

[Aseaheru]

If you use a rebreather while doing that, dont forget to turn it on...

[Flying Dice]

TBH it's a heck of a lot easier to just find a gas mask.

[Rez]

riot bots are robust.
