![]() ![]() In 180 AD, Yang Xuan used a type of repeating crossbow powered by the movement of wheels: Although handheld repeating crossbows were generally weak and required additional poison, probably aconite, for lethality, much larger mounted versions appeared during the Ming dynasty. ![]() ![]() The Ming repeating crossbow uses an arming mechanism that requires its user to push a rear lever upwards and downwards back and forth. Unlike repeating crossbows of later eras, the ancient double-shot repeating crossbow uses a pistol grip and a rear-pulling mechanism for arming. This is corroborated by the earliest archaeological evidence of repeating crossbows, which was excavated from a Chu burial site at Tomb 47 at Qinjiazui, Hubei Province, and has been dated to the 4th century BC, during the Warring States Period (475 - 220 BC). Complete Classics Collection of Ancient ChinaĪccording to the Wu-Yue Chunqiu (history of the Wu-Yue War), written in the Eastern Han dynasty, the repeating crossbow was invented during the Warring States Period by a Mr. The earliest archaeological evidence of the repeating crossbow is found in the state of Chu, but it uses a pistol grip that is different from the later and more commonly known Ming dynasty design.Īlthough the repeating crossbow was in use throughout most of Chinese history until the late Qing dynasty, it was generally regarded as a non-military weapon suited for women, defending households against robbers, and even hunting.

While I recognized early that item quality modifiers for normal things, like furniture, weapons, and so on were nerfed to the ground, I also saw, when making bone bolts, and then wooden bolts for training purposes, that high quality bolts, especially wooden bolts, were an outlier.Īfter u/TBTerra posted a thread about how quality works, I dug into my current game where I have a legendary woodcrafter by accident (I tried to both maximize wooden bolt value, and minimize the odds of getting a woodcrafter strange mood, which I got anyways) and a good enough appraiser, and here are some values: Item Kitfox Discord #modding-discussion channelīronzemurder and Oilfurnace (illustrated) A three step guide:ĭownload DF Classic or install the premium version from Steam or Itch.ioįollow the quickstart guide on the wiki, or see other learning resources (below)Īsk any questions in the ☼Dwarf Fortress Questions Thread☼ - it's always active See the reasons for our rules here, and please report any problems!ĭF can be intimidating, but we're dedicated to helping new players.
