What Do You Think Is The Level of Throwing That Turns Rocks Into Revolver Rounds
« on: March 13, 2022, 07:25:30 am »
? (Yeah, I needed one more character limit for question mark)

At which point it's going to hit like pistol?

At which point it's going to hit like assault rifle?

At which point it's going to hit like sniper rifle (chance of severing limbs of humans in real life)?

The idea for this post came from TV Tropes describing lashers as being capable to hit with their whips like pistol bullets. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/GameBreaker/Simulation

Does anybody know how to become an elephant man in adventure mode? I literally did all advanced world settings possible to increase chances.

It doesn't seem like throwing skill affects the velocity of thrown objects, if that's what you're asking.

Generation 2: Add this phrase to your signature, but replace one word in it with one of its synonyms. BETTER social experiment.

Throwing affects accuracy, so low throwing is going to hit like a pistol whereas high throwing is going to hit like a sniper rifle.
Damage may be effected?

The page that the OP links to seems to indicate that the problem with projectiles being overpowered was fixed (at least for crossbow bolts, and possibly others).  Does anyone know if it’s still a problem?

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

Throwing doesn't seem to do the insane amount of damage you see old threads talking about, so yeah I guess it's fixed.
