Delivering ammunition to turrets using robots
I know that in remote mode you can send robots to deliver ammunition to the turrets.
Is it possible to create a blueprint with a turret that is already loaded with ammunition?
And is it possible to create an upgrade planner so that when a area is selected, the robots will provide ammunition to all selected turrets?
Or even create an upgrade planner so that robots will replace for example firemarm magazine to uranium rounds magazine?

No. Also no, and no. Ammo has to be put in a chest and inserted into turrets. You can make a requester chest to call ammo to it, insert that onto a belt that runs along your turrets and insert from belt to turret, Or even have a daisy chain of turrets where only the first gets ammo loaded and then inserters take from that one to the next and on and on down the line... But you can't just have bots directly insert ammo into a turret, or swap ammo types in that way.

maybe, but I think if you want the turrets to be refilled automatically, this approach won't work. After all, in remote mode you can only create onetime requests this way.

Also turrets don't create logistic requests on their own, you would still need requester chest + inserter if you want to refill turrets using bots

That's what I do. In remote mode, each time I select the ammunition slot in the turret and the robots deliver this ammunition from the logistics network. But I have to do it every time and for each turret separately. I was wondering if it possible to automated it somehow.

Go in a zone without logistic network, and install the ghost of a turret, then load the ghost turret with ghost ammo. Then take the blueprint. It should allow you to have loaded turrets on installation.
