DURABILITY For Bow and Fire Arrow Balance

[RaggarTannon 3]

The Durability of the bow should be increased, after firing 8 shots you have to constantly repair it.  When you made FIRE ARROWS Cost MORE and do LESS, killing Alphas is very costly.  Organic Paste only comes from Scorpions and Ants and its harvest rate does not match what you need to make it usable.  for example

FORMER COST:

2 Fire gel per arrow which is 1 Organic Paste

CURRENT COST:

4 Fire gel per arrow which is 2 Organic Paste

ALPHA death COST;

3 flaming arrows

Gathering Rate per scorpion is 0-3 paste

An ant is 0-2 Paste

But the number of Ants and Scorpions FAR less than LIONS< WOLFS< SNAKES< CROCODILEs

So if you get attacked by 2 gators and 2 snakes, your bow bow will break before you can finish the fight forcing you to carry two bows, which you have an equip time that is too long,

I carry two pistols and a a bow, and after each encounter I have to run home and repair the bow because it only gets 8 shots off,

ALSO a full UPGRADE to a Bow that is 8x requires so much material for very little gain Durability on Bow is 40 and the 42 for a blueprint bow, and UPGRADED is 45......not much improvement there

NOT TO MENTION TAMING WITH A BOW IS ALSO A PAIN a Giraffe tame would take 33 bolas 3 arrows each so 8 bow repairs....????

Bows get 40 shots before repair

Bows should probably have like 100 shots instead of 40 for a full repair.  Make fire arrows cost 2 durability each or something.

But you know that u can craft paste with sugar and fibers,so still super cheap for the damage it does.
