Suggestion/request to use any_wood for wood-based amunition.
Is it possible to make arrows and other ammunition that require wood to use "any_wood" or something to that effect? I'm playing with Alpha Biomes as a tribal colony, and the biome my colony is in is a sub zero Propane Lake area where only "Crystal Flowers" that provide "Crystalline Wood" grow. This wood can be used to build walls and various items (eg: Crystalline Short Bows) but arrows can only use "wood." This is also the case for other ammunition such as Pilas and the Oni of the Rim Yumi arrows(which I assume must be asked in the Oni CE compatibility mod instead of here), but if you're able to somehow change this that'd be great. Not only would I be able to use "Crystalline Wood" for arrows, but ideally I'll also be able to make arrows out of redwood that I can get from nearby ruins as well as bones(Rim of Madness - Bones makes bones that act as wood for construction and crafting purposes, including bone short bows). Right now I rarely get traders, and every single one thus far has never sold wood, so until a trader does or the wood-based ammunition gets updated I'm ♥♥♥♥ outta luck when it comes to ranged weapons right now(research is slow going).

If this is something you can't do then no worries. I was just hoping it was something that could be done so I could actually hunt without having my hunters just run up to animals and scratch them to death with their sharpened claws and horns(and maybe defend against raids with ranged weapons).
