-- FAQ --
Q: Where do I get Fletchings?
A: See the Recipes section below.
Q: How do I pluck Chicken Feathers?
A: Target a chicken and press your Use/Activate key (E by default) as if you were trying to talk to them.
Q: I don't see the Fletchings option at the tanning rack.
A: You need at least one of the materials (feathers) for it to appear.
Reason: It's similar to leather in that there are multiple ways to make leather (different animal hides) so most of them are hidden unless you have one of the materials.
Q: Why do hawks disappear when I shoot them?
A: Your Object Fade/View Distance is too low. Turn it up in the launcher settings or the game settings.
Reason: Hawks are moving world objects rather than normal NPCs/actors. The game replaces the hawk with a lootable object (container) when you shoot it. If your object view distance is low, you won't be able to see the newly spawned object unless you are close to where it falls.
Q: Why are some hawks invincible?
A: This is a game bug, not specific to the mod, but I've found a way to fix them.
Download and install this fix: http://www.curse.com/mods/skyrim/invincible-hawk-fix
(It can't be uploaded to Steam Workshop because it requires loose files.)
Q: Why doesn't my HUD's equipped arrow count update when I make new arrows?
A: This is a known bug and I'm looking in to it.
Q: Can you remove the perk requirements?
A: I will not, but you can using the Creation Kit if you want.
Q: Will you add _____ arrows?
A: I will not add arrows that aren't already in the game, such as Dragon Arrows.
Arrows that are already in the game, but not in this mod (Forsworn, Falmer, etc) won't be added either.
This mod is meant to fit the existing smithing design and not add random things.
Q: Can I translate this mod to another language?
A: Yes, but the mod must be uploaded to Steam Workshop, credit must be given to me for the original version, and I would like a link to it so that I can link it below.
Q: Will you upload this mod to Nexus?
No.
