Maybe making the spear a cheaper and weaker weapon when used as melee, but stackable and very powerful when thrown? Just writing this as the idea came through my mind but I have no idea how balanced and viable this is

i would rather see the devs just fix the clipping of the spear through objects but what you propose would also be interesting, to rebalance the weapon and lean more into the throwing function.

also they could change the particle indicators for ground objects to bright red if it is an "equipment" object. the spear gets lost on the ground in a sea of resin, stone, and other BS, since everything puts out white particles.
