Basically what the topic says, Marksdwarves carrying 25 is kind of..not nearly enough. I've got various other weapon users grinding goblins and humans and their mounts into pieces and throwing them all over the place, while the Elite Marksdwarf in question might get a kill or two and then starts using his crossbow as a crappy hammer.

Anyway, is there a way in the raws or or something i can increase the number of bolts they can carry in a quiver?

If you manage this I would love to hear how. It would go a long way towards making marksdwarves more usable, not just with regards to reloading in combat but just for training in general. With the bug that makes getting new stacks take for absolute ever still in the game it would be good to simply make them need to get new stacks less frequently.

Cant say i've had any trouble with this, however my ammo stockpile is actually touching the first archery target, might have something to do with it.

Edit: Okay, Quivers aren't listed in anything in the raw files, as far as I can tell.

I'm going to try dropping the bolt size to 1/3rd, but i think that is just going to make them do less damage honestly :/

Could you just give them more quivers?

[Zaik]

I have no idea how, since they pick them up on their own.

I tried assigning 8 different bolts and they just picked up as many single bolts as they could find and a 25 stack. Still one quiver.

I had like 45 not-forbidden quivers so that wasn't the problem either.

Maybe you could mod dwarves to have 1000 arms, so they would hold 1 crossbow, and 999 quivers.

If that happens, maybe you could get them to wield multiple crossbows. ONE THOUSAND BOLT FURY.

No good. You can only use one weapon at once.

It would be like in those shows where the character pulls out a gun with only one bullet in it, fires a shot, drops the gun and PULLS ANOTHER GUN WITH ONLY ONE BULLET IN IT OUT.
mod it to make the crossbow drop once fired

Actually back in the day where reloading took you two hours and lots of patience, that was something people did. They didn't carry one gun with lots of ammo, they just carried LOTS OF GUNS.

But not to this extent:
