This article is about an older version of DF.

Template:L for Template:Ls. Can be made from Template:L, Template:L, certain Template:Ls.

Wooden bolts produce a Template:L of 25 per Template:L.
Making bone bolts will take only one bone away from a stack and turn it into 5 bolts. This is unlike the previous version where a stack of bones was converted into five times as many bone bolts.

Wooden and bone bolts are made in a Template:L.


Bugs

Test show that bone and wooden bolts are effective against some unarmored targets, mostly wildlife, but for various reasons are quite useless against many creatures and armored targets.

The same generally goes for metal bolts.

Additionally a bug seems to prevent military from equipping bolts, limiting the use of bolts to hunting and weapon traps.

Bone bolts are not advisable for weapon traps as only a stack of 5 will be stored per crossbow, making frequent restocking necessary.
