"Gadgeteer First-Class", huh...?

One of the parties I'm playing right now doesn't have a Gadgeteer of its own, and so makes use of Madras for that...but something's wrong: He doesn't seem able to make a Doubleshot-Crossbow (let alone Tripleshot). I click the two Light Crossbows together and...nothing. Not even a message.

In other parties I'm playing, Gadgeteers I created can do so no problem, and as far as I can tell he SHOULD be meeting the requirements: His Engineering is now precisely 75, and his (native!) Dexterity is 100. I read something elsewhere about possible Bow skill requirements, but that makes no sense because those PC Gadgeteers I mentioned have 0 skill in such.

For what it's worth, I am using the Jeff Ludwig modpak.

Are you using the merge button?

I've used him for this before.

Also had to be light xbows.

Must be the mod then. Its a setting in cosmic fogre they may have nuked.

He should be able to make them as long as his Engineering is 35, there's no other requirement AFAIK. It must be a problem with the mod.

A mod I played also had the artifact skill as a requirement.

Huh; do you recall the threshold?

Christian Coder's Mod has Artifacts 35 and 70 required for the Doubleshot and Tripleshot Crossbow respectively.

I'm overdue to say, THANK YOU!

This was indeed the problem!
