Editing Drop (section)

===Throw===
An interesting hidden mechanic in the game is the ability to throw items. This ability is tied to the drop action.

Normally, you press the appropriate button and the item drops onto the ground. However, instead of releasing the appropriate drop button immediately, you hold down the drop button, your hominid will hold their arm back storing potential energy. If you then release the drop button, your hominid will throw the item.

This is an interesting mechanic that has little use more than amusement except for some very specific instances:
*If you climbed up a large rock spire with both of your hands full with needed items, and you find a [[File:MindIcon Powerstone.png|28px]] [[Precious Stone]], you have no way of climbing back down with three items. You could pick up the precious stone, throw it off the top of the rock spire, and then climb down to give the precious stone to one of your [[clan]] members so you can continue your journey.
*If you want to have a settlement down in a sunken area, you could throw [[food]] and other useful items from the edge of the pit without the need to make multiple trips up and down the rock walls.

You '''do not''' throw with enough force to turn items into thrown [[weapons]]. You make an underhand throwing motion and it pitches the item off into the distance.
