After i crafted a longbow and arrows I tried firing it and it tells me im out of ammo. I have about sixy wooden arrows. Is this a bug or am i missing a step?

It’s a bug. They fixed it for the (unreleased yet) 0.4.

Try unloading it and fire again. This supposedly fixes it. If that doesn’t then you better just spawn a new longbow via the debug menu.

I think Kenoxite is right, check your wielded long bow on your normal travel screen. If it says “Long bow (1)” there’s your problem. It should read “Longbow (0)”. The reload action for bows takes place in the same instance it fires. And requires the criteria for the bow to be unloaded.
