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?

You can't get this working via an upgrade planner, afaik. But you can get a blueprint that constructs a turret and issues an ammo-fill order to construction bots.

To do this, firstly, you have to be outside of the roboport coverage area. Otherwise bots from your network will swoop in to build the turret before you can magic together the blueprint you want.

So, outside the coverage area:
  1. Plop down a turret ghost.
  2. Go into remote view.
  3. Click the ghost to open the turret and edit it.
  4. Select the ammo type you want in the ghost cursor.
  5. Place how much you want to go into the turret when it's constructed, into the ammo slot.
  6. Close the turret.
  7. CTRL+C to grab a blueprint.

And voilà; you've made a turret that will auto-supply with ammo upon construction.

Can be very effectively spammed around you to create impromptu turret back-ups stocked with stacks of uranium bullets the moment you encounter hostiles.
It's a bit like turret creeping - except on steroids.
