Thank you for playing! You can combine the gear with a bow to craft a crossbow. There’s a known bug where crafting doesn’t work well near furniture, so please try placing just the two items in an empty space. Also, throwing items to use them wasn’t actually intended—the collision only trigger when the impact speed is above a certain threshold. That’s why, for example, if you run into a rock while holding a pickaxe, it gets mined. The same goes for trees. I realize many parts of the game aren’t well explained. Thanks for the valuable feedback!
