No Ammo Turrets


Empty gun, rocket, railgun, and artillery turrets fire standard ammo. Ammo you insert is the type they fire. Either way the round is not consumed. Laser and tesla turrets already use power. Flamethrowers still need oil. Railguns still need electricity.

No Ammo Turrets

Factorio 2.0 / Space Age mod. Placed turrets fire without burning through ammo.

Behavior

An empty turret loads one standard round and does not consume it.

Turret Standard round
Gun turret Firearm magazine
Rocket turret Rocket
Artillery turret Artillery shell
Railgun turret Railgun ammo

Put your own ammo in the slot and the turret uses that type instead. That ammo is not consumed either. Take the standard round out first, or feed a different ammo type with an inserter.

Bullet research still raises damage.
