Ammo types for turrets and a simple guide to using them
Alright, i have looked for this for a while and I haven't found it easily so I want to put it here... Each turret and its ammo type along with how to operate them.

*NOTE
All of this info and more can be found in game by using the books that unlock the recipes, simply right click on the book and click "Open *booknamehere*" and it will show you stats and the ammo necessary to use it. This is a good way to learn how to use the EtherAmmoMaker as well.


First the turrets, here are the ammo type and parts needed to make them operational

Ammo Loading
To load ammo you need to attach the respective ammo box to the turret, called AmmoCan1 in the crafting menu, after go up to it really close until you see the inventory that looks like the AmmoCan1, this is where you put the ammo in, simply drop it in and it will work. You'll know you have the right ammo if the "No Ammunition" words disappear under the turret.

EtherAmmoMaker

When you kill zombies you can earn ether, and with that purchase ammo for your turrets.
To do this build an EtherAmmoMaker and right click on it then click "Open Ammo Store", then you can see how much ether you have and how much shells will cost along with buying them.
Heres what you can buy,
  • 20mmshell
  • 30mmshell
  • 50mmshell
  • 60mmshell
  • 88mmshell

-You cannot purchase 9*19mm or .308-WIN rounds from this shop, no paperclips either
-Amount it costs can be changed in sandbox settings
-You can also get this same menu at any vending machine
-You can get this info ingame with the TurretAmmoBook (See Note above)

Hope this helps some people out!
