Currently i don't see a point in the weapon needing to use ammo since the resource cost is so insignificant it just gets in the way. Kind of like how the iron and steel axes were craftable items and used to have durability before it was changed. Could you add a mod option to get rid of the ammo requirement?

I'm playing Ultracube, and I can craft the Blueprint Shotgun fine, but because Ultracube uses Fabricators instead of Assemblers, I can only handcraft the Item Canisters. Having an option to just disregard the ammo entirely would be great.

Unfortunately the game engine doesn't support having guns that don't require ammo, so there'd have to be a decent bit of janky scripting to get it to work how I'd want to do it. I might at some point, but it's not something I'm particularly interested in doing right now.

The Ultracube recipe thing was actually bug, I've fixed that for version 0.2.21, so you should be able to craft ammo in Fabricators now.

Awesome. Works great in Ultracube now.
