Good afternoon. It seems to me that the first military research should be blocked by copper proccesing, or it should be changed a little.
The problem is that the player can study the miitary technology and the turret gun, can craft them, but the ammo requires copper, and without the ammo these 2 technologies are a bit useless :)

Hello, sorry for delay.

I'm probably forgetting a specific configuration here, as it's been a few months, but I am not seeing the early magazines requiring copper, except in some alternative optional recipes in niche setups. Can you help me figure out if this is an issue in a setup you are using?
