Ranged weapons and ammunition

Bows use arrows, slings use shot and crossbows use bolts. Your loaded ammunition is used first. When it runs out, the game looks for a matching stack in your pack. Locked stacks in your backpack are skipped.

You need at least two tiles of distance to shoot or throw. The target must be visible and within range, with a clear line of sight. A crossbow also needs time to reload between shots.

A javelin can be used in melee or thrown. Throwing sends the javelin itself onto the ground near where it lands. Pick it up again to recover it.
