Ammunition
The various ammunitions for weapons make up the majority of the consumables category. All ammo recipes (except
Small and
Large Railgun Sabots) rely on
Magnesium Powder and all magnesium-based ammo (and ammo containers) explode when shot at or grinded.
Despite the respective weapons themselves being buildable earlier,
Small and
Large Railgun Sabots,
Rockets, and
Artillery Shells are late-game ammunitions that additionally require
Uranium Ingots in their recipes.
How to obtain ammunition
You create ammunition in the
Assembler,
Basic Assembler, and
Survival Kit. While it is possible to produce ammunition in the
Survival Kit, it is limited to production of
S-10 Magazines, so check your Drop Pods' seat for an emergency stash.
It's good to know that you can create early-game ammo and weapons (
S-10,
S-20A,
MR-20,
MR-50A) already in a
Basic Assembler.
If NPC "Cargo Ships" are enabled in the World Settings, ammo can also be found as random loot in the cargo containers of various Military ships.
