The Slingbow, despite its name, does not use arrows as ammunition. This may be confusing for some players who may expect to craft arrows for hunting. Instead of arrows, players will need to craft Rock Marbles to use the Slingbow's ranged capabilities.
To make Rock Marbles, players must first build a Simple Workbench at their home base. To do this, they will need to gather the following materials:
10 Wood Bundles
4 Plant Fibers
These items are abundant in most biomes and easy to collect. Plant Fibers can be picked from small bushes, while Wood Bundles can be obtained by chopping down trees or fallen logs with an ax.
When you have the Simple Workbench, you can craft Rock Marbles for your Slingbow. The recipe is simple, requiring only 6 Rocks. Rocks can be found in areas with lots of stone and look like small clusters. Just bring the rocks to the workbench, add them to the Rock Marble recipe, and press R or click Craft. With 6 rocks, you can make 20 Rock Marbles.
