Update:
As promised, here is the first version of the mod. Aside from a few spelling errors (if you find any please inform me), the recipes and items seem stable enough.

So I copied and pasted some stuff in the item and recipes files (not quite sure who to credit other than darklinwolf and whales at this point). This is just an expanded tree for bows and arrows, and some other neolithic items I think might be of some value. Any help or appraisal will be greatly appreciated. I claim no expertise in any of these fields.

(does the system recognized dashes? For example if I enter the name as “bow-like_object” rather than “bow_like_object”?
