Why is ammo so expensive?

[mauler78]

First the cost to create ammo is crazy. You should be getting x10 for one craft of ammo.

Alternatively there should be alternate ways to craft bullet, who makes bullet with iron, it really should be a product of copper, since most casings are brass, and the the bullet itself is copper jacketed lead.

Rifle/pistol ammo?
Its extremly cheap, 1 iron ingot, 1 gunpowder. Iron is the most common metal, after reaching middle of t3, you dont't need it anymore expect for ammo, while copper is needed for electronics in vast ammounts.

All the recipes in this game are really weird/whacky/grindy.

For example, 6 iron ore and 1 coal to make steel bloom, that makes one steel, or 3 iron ingots to 1 steel. The real life ratio is closer to 2:1 (less than that, even).

The simply insane amount of electronics for anything in the higher tiers make them rather prohibitive unless you have several days off work to litterally play all day and farm materials.
