Crossbow, Improvised Bow, and Fishing Rod

[ejones7761 9]

I know that these items do not currently work as of 0.55, but i was wondering if these were going to be fixed in 0.56. These are some of the things I want most, because I like to hunt and fish in game. Any information is much appreciated, and thanks in advanced.

I can assure you that in the experimental version of 0.56 released recently the improvised bow and fishing rod were working fine. Can't speak for xbow but then I don't remember there being a problem with xbow in 0.55. While this doesn't mean that stable 0.56 will absolutely have fixed bow/fishing, it seems very likely if they are working in the early unstable version of the build.

Well, currently in .56 the bow, crossbow and fishing pole work. Fishing works really well, cutting up a fish works again. 2 fish filets, 1 pile of guts. Combine this with the fact that you can craft a hand drill to make fire (wooden stick + oak bark), and that you now can cook your meat with an ashwood stick over fire, you are pretty set for some easy survivin.

 

I use fishing, trapping and hunting in .56, no need for canned food.

Right now the crossbow is glitched, you cannot aim down the sights, didn't find one in experimental so I cannot say if they fixed it, it really sucks because now that stealth has been implemented, I would like to sneak around and kill some zeds with a bolt to the dome
