Hunting Bow discussion - Should food drops be limited to hunting weapons?

You're saying you like it better having to try to last hit your enemy with a hunting knife? Meaning you'd always have to have a hunting knife equipped if you wanted meat? I think the random meat drops from enemies with my normal weapon is handy. If I want to get meat for sure, then I pull out a hunting knife. I think the way it is grants people the ability to play it however they want..

 

It'd would be nice if bows actually tiered all the way up so I could continue hunting. The steel bow actually becomes nearly useless after Gamma sector. In fact, it's not even of much use in Gamma either. If I want to hunt, I have to go back to
Aplha.

 

Although hunting for meat is only really nessaccery for a small amount of time. As soon as you get a functioning farm up and running it stops being a problem.

 

Granted, but it probably belongs in a new thread to avoid confusion. (Lest new people come into the thread, read the first page, if even that, and point out the same obvious fact over and over.)

 

How about this thread? http://community.playstarbound.com/...knives-traps-and-weapon-specific-drops.72995/

 

yes its simple because many things are just placeholders waiting for review and refinement. too many of you folks expect a complete game already and its still in beta. *coughalphacough*

 

The whole point of making threads and discussing what you want in the game is how the game will improve... I don't expect to see all this shit right away, I simply state what I'd like to see. That's exactly what us folks are doing... Reviewing and awaiting refinement.

 

It's a very poorly implemented mechanic that needs fleshed (heh) out. HUNGER stops being anything more than a constant annoyance about five minutes in; there is nothing challenging at all about it. Personally I have a mod that just disables it entirely.

 

Multiple drops per monster please. So you can still get meat from any melee weaponry, and get other drops as well.

 

like bones, no wait we all use 2 hand giant hammers and crush all critters bones so we can't loot any.

 

Yeah, actually I was almost gonna make a cliche necro reference, but a snare mod would be really awesome.
