{{info|The short bow is a very light, single-shot ranged weapon in RimWorld which deals a moderate amount of damage per shot; slightly longer time between shots; slightly shorter range and moderate accuracy.}}
==Overview==
The short bow is a low-tier neolithic weapon, and also the easiest ranged weapon to acquire in the game thanks to its extremely low resource requirement, lack of a requirement for proper facilities and a complete lack of research requirements. With scenarios such as naked brutality, a short bow is essential to earlygame survival as a safe means of hunting and basic defense against hostile wildlife and raiders. Curiously, short bows also have a slightly higher armor penetration rating than the much more powerful [[greatbow]].

However, short bows are also the only neolithic ranged weapons that can't stagger [[human]]s, which puts them at a disadvantage against melee units. The short bow also has the 3rd lowest damage output out of all ranged weapons in the game, only beating the [[pila]] and [[incendiary launcher]] - the latter being a support weapon rather than straight-up aggro. Other weaknesses include low accuracy for a neolithic weapon (especially at medium range), as well as a rather slow projectile velocity. Naturally, a short bow will be significantly overshadowed in terms of combat performance by even the most basic of firearms such as [[autopistol]]s and [[revolver]]s, with two short bows being required to match a single one of the aforementioned firearms.

The short bow is best-suited for close-quarters engagements overall since it's most accurate up to short ranges, and because of its sub-par projectile velocity. It's also a somewhat viable hunting weapon for smaller and lower-risk game.

Against an unarmored human, a short bow can kill with 4 hits to the torso, 3 hits to the head or neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 3 hits; and cripple or destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 6 hits (~27.8 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.

Overall, the short bow is best paired with a careful shooter until level 9, and with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point.

===Obtaining===
Short bows can be purchased from neolithic war merchants and orbital combat suppliers, tribal and outlander settlements, or obtained from the following [[raider#Humanlike|raider]] kinds:

{| class="wikitable sortable"

Short bows can also be manufactured at [[fueled smithy|any]] [[electric smithy|smithy]] or a [[crafting spot]] with no research required; from 30 [[wood]] and {{ticks|2400}} of work. A crafting skill of at least 2 is required.

You also start with two short bows with the lost tribe [[scenario system|scenario]], along with some [[pila]], a [[wood]]en [[club]], a [[steel]] [[ikwa]] and a [[jade]] [[knife]] ([[jade knife|main article]]).

==Short Bow vs. Comparable Weapons==

This section goes over how well the short bow fares against comparable weapons (similar value, tech level or similar characteristics) in 1 vs. 1 combat.

=== Methodology ===

* Pawns are divided by walls to prevent stray shots from skewing results in any way

== Graphs ==
The graphs assume a normal quality short bow against an adult human that's out in the open in clear weather. For DPS, projectile speed has also been factored into the equation, with the weighting based on the base amount of attacks that it'll take to put the aforementioned target into pain shock.

{{info|The short bow is a very light, single-shot ranged weapon in RimWorld which deals a moderate amount of damage per shot; slightly longer time between shots; slightly shorter range and moderate accuracy.}}
==Overview==
The short bow is a low-tier neolithic weapon, and also the easiest ranged weapon to acquire in the game thanks to its extremely low resource requirement, lack of a requirement for proper facilities and a complete lack of research requirements. With scenarios such as naked brutality, a short bow is essential to earlygame survival as a safe means of hunting and basic defense against hostile wildlife and raiders. Curiously, short bows also have a slightly higher armor penetration rating than the much more powerful [[greatbow]].

However, short bows are also the only neolithic ranged weapons that can't stagger [[human]]s, which puts them at a disadvantage against melee units. The short bow also has the 3rd lowest damage output out of all ranged weapons in the game, only beating the [[pila]] and [[incendiary launcher]] - the latter being a support weapon rather than straight-up aggro. Other weaknesses include low accuracy for a neolithic weapon (especially at medium range), as well as a rather slow projectile velocity. Naturally, a short bow will be significantly overshadowed in terms of combat performance by even the most basic of firearms such as [[autopistol]]s and [[revolver]]s, with two short bows being required to match a single one of the aforementioned firearms.

The short bow is best-suited for close-quarters engagements overall since it's most accurate up to short ranges, and because of its sub-par projectile velocity. It's also a somewhat viable hunting weapon for smaller and lower-risk game.

Against an unarmored human, a short bow can kill with 4 hits to the torso, 3 hits to the head or neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 3 hits; and cripple or destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 6 hits (~27.8 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.

Overall, the short bow is best paired with a careful shooter until level 9, and with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point.

===Obtaining===
Short bows can be purchased from neolithic war merchants and orbital combat suppliers, tribal and outlander settlements, or obtained from the following [[raider#Humanlike|raider]] kinds:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Raider Kind !! Chance !! Average Quality !! Health
|-
| Archer || 92.27% || Poor || 50-180%
|}

Short bows can also be manufactured at [[fueled smithy|any]] [[electric smithy|smithy]] or a [[crafting spot]] with no research required; from 30 [[wood]] and {{ticks|2400}} of work. A crafting skill of at least 2 is required.

You also start with two short bows with the lost tribe [[scenario system|scenario]], along with some [[pila]], a [[wood]]en [[club]], a [[steel]] [[ikwa]] and a [[jade]] [[knife]] ([[jade knife|main article]]).

==Short Bow vs. Comparable Weapons==

This section goes over how well the short bow fares against comparable weapons (similar value, tech level or similar characteristics) in 1 vs. 1 combat.

=== Methodology ===

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px;overflow:auto">

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

{{info|The chain shotgun is a very short range, multi-shot firearm in RimWorld which fires 3-shot bursts which deal fairly high damage individually (X3); a slightly shorter delay between each shot; a moderate time between bursts; slightly lower overall accuracy and slightly heavier weight.}}
==Acquisition==
Chain shotguns can be purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, outlaner settlements, or obtained from the following [[raider#Humanlike|raider]] kinds:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Raider Kind !! Chance !! Average Quality !! Health
|-
| Mercenary Gunner || 12.36% || Normal || 70-320%
|-
| Ancient Soldier || 11.05% || Normal || 100%
|}

Chain shotguns can also be crafted at a [[machining table]] once the [[Research#GasOperation|gas operation]] research has been completed; from 70 [[steel]], 5 [[component]]s and {{Ticks|31000}} of work. A crafting skill of at least 6 is required.

==Analysis==
Compared to the [[pump shotgun]], the chain shotgun trades range and accuracy for the ability to fire in 3-shot bursts rather than being single-shot.

Similarly to the pump shotgun, the chain shotgun has a respectable per-shot damage as well as exceptionally high stopping power, being able to stagger all pawn kinds in the game except for [[elephant]]s, [[thrumbo]]s and [[megasloth]]s. However, the chain shotgun also combines the aforementioned traits with a deadly 3-shot burst which results in a significantly higher overall rate of fire than the pump shotgun; a single burst can occasionally deal enough damage to incapacitate a perfectly healthy human from pain shock if internals are also struck.

Raw damage output is exceptional as a result, only being surpassed by the [[minigun]] and the single-use [[triple rocket launcher]]. Although accuracy is rather poor, this actually allows the chain shotgun to do some crowd controlling due to its rate of fire. Despite the aforementioned accuracy, the chain shotgun's single-target damage output is also the highest out of all ranged weapons in the game (excluding the single-use rocket launchers); only the [[heavy SMG]], [[charge rifle]] and [[minigun]] come somewhat close in this area.

However, the chain shotgun's range is the shortest in its class, being tied with [[frag grenades|grenades]] and [[molotov cocktails|molotovs]]. Additionally, the chain shotgun is heavier than most other ranged weapons, being high enough to have a slight impact on a colonist's overall carrying capacity.

Regarding use-cases, the chain shotgun is best suited as a close-quarters offensive weapon, but is also an excellent supporting weapon against [[infestation]]s due to its stopping power, damage output (especially against [[megaspider]]s) and ability to crowd control. This weapon's also unsurprisingly a poor choice for field combat due to its range, and is definitely not advisable to use as a hunting weapon since quarry will be significantly more likely to turn manhunter within the chain shotgun's range.

Against an unarmored human, a chain shotgun can kill with 3 hits to the torso, 2 hits to the head or neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 2 hits; and destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 4 hits (~6.4 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.

Overall, the chain shotgun is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 6, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point.

In Beta 19 it received a buff to accuracy, range and ticks between burst shots. It also got a remodel.

The old model was reminiscent of a Saiga-type shotgun.

'''Research''' is the primary method through which players can enhance and expand the abilities of their colony. Certain [[buildings]] fuckspacerequire research in order to be built.

Once a player constructs a [[research bench]], and selects a project from the list of available research topics, a [[Menus#Research|researcher]] will work at the bench to generate research points. The rate at which points are generated depends on the researcher's skill level. Multiple research benches worked by researchers will further increase the speed at which points are generated.

Only one research project can be actively researched at a given time, regardless of the number of research facilities available. However, you can freely switch between research projects, even if another is already underway. The progress towards finishing the research project is retained.

Research difficulty is related to your faction's tech level. Researching techs above your level is harder. So if you're a tribe, researching electricity will be difficult, while industrial colonies will find mastering spaceflight harder.

Research is presented in a tech tree form, with earlier research placed to the left and later research more dependent on the earlier ones placed on the right. Mods can add their own research projects; they can be manually placed, or automatically placed if not specified. Projects will be moved apart if they overlap.

Besides the main research tab, modders can add separate research tabs for their research projects, so any new research projects appear there instead.
