Any way to craft ammo?

[Unfulfilled Desires]

or do i just have to keep wandering around till i find new merchants and scavengers? i am still pretty early on (around level 7) but i am finding ammo to be extremely hard to find

There's a way. One of the upgrades of your base.

At end the real ammo solution is the weapon shop at KRZ, but you can start use it intensively only around level 10, before you'll need take care to not spend too much in ammo.

The second main solution to ammo is to choose weapons with different ammo and spread ammo usages on different ammo types.

The crafting at Red Fighter base is a bit heavy for making it a major ammo resource.

Crafting is good but you have to carry a lot of resources with you. You can raid the scrapyard and put everything in the car, other than that i don't recommand crafting ammo.

Just put points in barter and buy from random merchants/caravans. Weapon choice is also a good fix because using more diverse weapons will get you saving enough ammo to throw it away:)
Another way to get ammo is to use low tier weapons and empty the bullets from all guns you loot.

Caravans never have many ammo, it requires a lot too much caravanscaming. Even without any barter, KRZ weapon shop is ammo source first choice since character level 10.

Ammo you craft yourself are only for weaker weapons, it's good to replace any close range weapons in weak combats.

It's right that crafting ammo is a burden for collecting and carrying material, but when you have the car and 3 companions it's much less a problem.

For some more rare ammo, ammo crafting at the base is quite handy to complement other sources.
