I return with a second request.
Can the ammo drums be made light enough to be launched up one by one. Or the Ammuniton weight be reduced to a point you only need 2/3/4 rockets move all the rounds into orbit instead of 5.
As it is you can launch a single turret, but the individual rounds have to be launched up in 5 rockets so you can craft the drum in orbit.

or is the intention to be making them in space in mid/late game?

First of all: You can use both the drum mag and the single cartridges as ammo in the turret.

First I wanted to adjust the weights in a way that each cartridge weighs 280g like in reality, resulting in you being able to shoot up 2 drum magazines into the sky at once. But then I had a look at the vanilla ammo and had to realize that they aren't realistically weighted as well. Because of that I now adjusted it in a way to fit into that scheme aka 25 cartridges fit into one rocket XD

TIL, i can fire the individual rounds.
man i shouldnt have said anything lmao, if i want to use the APDS drums in space i need to send 60 rockets with the rounds instead of 5...
and the drums are still too heavy to launch one by one so i suppose that plan went out the window.
And it'll be quite a while until i can make them in space so i guess i have something to look forward too later lol.

i do now have some drums with 1550/1500 ammo since it looks like the capacity went down by 50 too. im going to put those into the crashed spaceship xd

Yeah I reduced the capacity so 3 stacks of rounds make 1 drum. I might adjust the recipes of my ammos soon btw
