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 the default Drop Pod's 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.
