Hello everyone!

Hope you are all well.

Today we're adding the bow and arrows.
Bows work pretty much as they used to but have quality dependent on the type of wood you use to make them, in addition to your archery and woodworking skills. Higher quality bows have greater accuracy, durability and strength,
You can also craft two different types of arrows: simple and flint ones.
While simple arrows are cheap and can get some smaller animals, they're not enough to hunt big game. For those you'll need flint ones, as well as a bit of patience and luck.

And now to the patch notes:

Version EA_0.31:

Bows and arrows can now be unlocked.

Butchering Partridges and successfully climbing to a Bird Nest now gives Feathers again.

Releasing Animal Spirits now gives Insight and helps unlock Blessings and Enchantments earlier on Research mode

Fixed a bug which prevented Fireplace from heating up Cold Tar.

Player can now throw food into the enclosure even if Filth is maxed out, making them more effective for feeding animals automatically.

It is no longer possible to Clear Brushwood and Chop Wood inside Enclosures.

Birch Clearings Clear Action now sometimes drops a Birch Long Stick.

Pine Needles can now be used to Acidify the Garden Plots.

Repairing the Travois with Twine now takes only 15 minutes and repairs it quite a bit more.

See you next time!

Reminder: All fixes and new content are always added to the public beta branch.
