Do turrets have ammo requests when blueprinting? I haven't seen a checkbox/toggle for it.

(You know how when blueprinting, for a train you can have it remember the train fuel, or have it remember what modules a building should have? Like that.)

No, that is not currently a feature. This Alt-F4 article shows you how to add it using a Python script, and already has a handy blueprint available. Or you could use a mod like AutoFill.

but sometimes autofill could be make trouble with other mods, save befor you make something.

Wahts also works, you can use a turret with arms to fill other turrets. arm turret arm turret in a row. One tower feed the other tower.

Want to organize my saved maps. Experiments in creative, different runs with a bunch of brenches...
How do I catalogize saves? Create directories/folders?

Though you can't create folders within Factorio, Factorio recognizes folders within your saved games folder. You can find the save folder somewhere like:

C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\saves

(May vary for Steam, GOG, etc.)

If you create folders there, you'll see them in Factorio with [brackets]:

At the root, it looks like this. Double-click a folder to navigate to it.

Here's what it looks like in a subfolder. Double-click the .. folder at the top to navigate back up.
