I've just started a tribal run and noticed that I can't craft arrows AT ALL. I'm using the Tribal Essentials Mod and have not unlocked any benches yet (only have access to a crafting spot until I finish the research). Is arrow crafting available at the smithy or some sort of ammo station? I remember that in Combat Extended around A17 you could craft arrows at a crafting spot with some wood.
Looking at the Def for arrows, it looks like you need a smithy to make it:
<ThingDef Class="CombatExtended.AmmoDef" Name="AmmoArrowBase" ParentName="NeolithicAmmoBase" Abstract="True">
<description>Simple arrow design with a cutting head attached to a wooden shaft.</description>
<statBases>
<Mass>0.11</Mass>
<Bulk>0.11</Bulk>
<Flammability>1</Flammability>
</statBases>
<thingCategories>
<li>AmmoArrows</li>
</thingCategories>
<stackLimit>200</stackLimit>
<tradeTags>
<li>CE_AutoEnableTrade</li>
<li>CE_AutoEnableCrafting_FueledSmithy</li>
<li>CE_AutoEnableCrafting_ElectricSmithy</li>
</tradeTags>
</ThingDef>
I guess you cound add Crafting spot to the list, but i don't know the correct syntax.
