unless only the handcrossbow is equip, my guys still charge into melee

For anybody wondering if the mod is broken, you can fix it by editing it in FCS (very easy to do) and edit the following parameters of every Dacious bow:

Inventory width: 7

Essentially making it take up more room in in your inventory.

You then need to ensure it is equipped at the top left of the weapon 1 slot.

Is the mod broken?

To those saying their characters aren't using the dacious crossbows correctly, try putting it in your "secondary" weapon slot, the one that is shorter and only 1 bar tall. If I tried to run the crossbow in anything other than that the pawns didn't seem to want to use it. Hope it helps.

Half the velocity would do a quarter of the damage. So half damage would mean 71% speed. Sorry, it just makes the engineer in me twitch. Really interesting mod.

Great idea :beeped:

There's a problem I'm Having with the old world bow MK1, it refuses to work as a crossbow, when it's the only thing a character has equipped, the character will try and use it as a melee weapon. Other than that the mod works fine. Just gotta remove the other weapon until they start firing, then put the weapon back.

also to add having read the other comments, my characters still charge at the enemy even when only the crossbow is equiped, so they even prefer using martial arts combat rathen than the crossbow
KevinPlayerZX 7 Nov, 2020 @ 1:10am 
hey It seems the mod broke a little for me, my character seem to be unable to use the crossbow offensively aka: they run at the enemies with their swords when given the order to attack and only pull out their crossbows when an enemy is running at them, now while this isnt a problem with small squads given that I can just select them to move further after an enemy takes agro it is hard to manage big firing squads given that after placing them into position they just charge at the enemies.
Is it meant to work this way or did I messed up something?
also where can I buy the spring bat and oldwolrd bow I cant seem to find any at the great desert?

im subed but i cant find the files in the workshop mods folder at all

ah yes, there is a Dacious Ranger blueprint specifically. it has the ability to be sold in all shops that can sell the normal ranger blueprint.
koston32 22 Aug, 2020 @ 12:56am 
I imported and I still can only make Junkbow, Dacious Junkbow and Ranger
But Not Dacious Ranger :(

I have bought the Ranger blueprint only, is it supposed to be a separate one for the dacious version? Can't think of something else :/
Mosseye  [author] 21 Aug, 2020 @ 3:08pm 
you have researched the dacious research and learned the blueprint for the ranger? if you cant make it and an import doesnt fix let me know, it might be a problem on my end and ill try and fix it asap!
koston32 21 Aug, 2020 @ 1:28pm 
The consept of this mod is so awesome, dunno why it wasn't done earlier haha
-Anyway I bought the ranger blueprint but I still can't make a dacious ranger (I can make plain/dacious toothpick and plain ranger). Do I need to import ??
-Their damage would be better at 75% of the original instead of 50%, all the other scaling changes balance it right
-Also it's size would be better one more horizontally or two
Thanks for the great mod Bro
Mosseye  [author] 18 Aug, 2020 @ 10:13am 
So what i have done is take the bows that are already in the game and duplicated their file then reduce everything by half. Stats/footprint/scale. When they are equipped to your character they should look half as big as normal and can be easily spotted when a bandit is using one. I actually was stagger locked by 2 dust bandits last time i played hahaha
Eochaid 18 Aug, 2020 @ 10:05am 
Are these all just the normal bows with a smaller inventory space? Visually, I mean, I can see that the stats are different.
Mosseye  [author] 17 Aug, 2020 @ 7:35pm 
@Darius Steelclaw, you can research Dacious crafting after you research crossbow crafting and that will give you the ability to craft the junkbow and learn the blueprints. The blueprints can be sold at any vendor that have the chance the sell the blueprint for the normal ones, at the same % spawn ratio.
Lost 17 Aug, 2020 @ 7:27pm 
are these crossbows already available as blueprints or researchable?
if not, where are they found? random on NPCs or in specific shops?
Wanderer 15 Aug, 2020 @ 5:59pm 
This will go great with my Guts character
Mosseye  [author] 15 Aug, 2020 @ 1:29pm 
@Capim, i have also had this happen and from what i see is that it happens when the AI determines that the range for the melee weapon is better, it's a little out of my box of skills but i plan to look into tweaking some AI settings to fix it.
Gran Trasero 15 Aug, 2020 @ 12:58pm 
Great idea. Looking forward to trying this. I never have enough ranged support in my squads.
Capim 15 Aug, 2020 @ 8:25am 
I think I've found a bug on the mod, since i've not seen it happen with any vanilla crossbow so far, while indoors my character keeps constantly switching between the Dacious toothpick and a sword (that large katana) and outside seems to favor using the sword unless I leave only the toothpick on the weapons slot (all while the ranged preference option is selected). Besides that the Toothpick is really fun to use, have yet to find the other bows.
Mosseye  [author] 14 Aug, 2020 @ 2:46pm 
@Devyndreap, the hand crossbows should use the same ammo as its counterpart does for now. I have been toying with making a new ammo for the handbows specifically and if i do this ill either make them researchable or have a higher chance of being in stock at a vendor and in more quantity. Might also make them have more charges than the normal ammo, like 60 instead of 40 because they do less damage and shoot faster.
Devyndreap 14 Aug, 2020 @ 8:02am 
can you the ammo non blueprint, it seems like a hand crossbow would be easier to get than a regular one or have more avaibile ammo
Vitriol ☧ 13 Aug, 2020 @ 8:04pm 
add more pics when you can
Capim 13 Aug, 2020 @ 6:11pm 
Sounds pretty balanced, I'll try this out.
Mosseye  [author] 13 Aug, 2020 @ 3:43pm 
They shoot faster but deal less damage and have a shorter range. At the most I have set the stats to 1/2 the value of the standard version. All bows are obtainable the same way as their counterparts. Junkbow comes with the research and the rest will be found as blueprints.
Capim 13 Aug, 2020 @ 3:03pm 
Clever mod idea, are they faster than regular crossbows?

look forward to seeing
