How would a burner inserter help with ammo? It may be independent of the power grid, and immune to outages of electric power, but you would have to feed it some fuel. Ammo doesn't have a fuel value, though, does it?
If power gets cut, electric inserters stop working immediately. Burner inserters will keep working for some time after a supply chain interruption (especially when running on solid fuel wich could be made near the front line from some of the light oil that gets piped to the flame throwers).
How about putting some Batterie at the outpost sand a circuit Network, weich disabels laser turrets, if Batteries were Usedom?!Oktokolo wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2019 11:27 pmIf power gets cut, electric inserters stop working immediately.

In the case of feeding ammo from a buffer box, using burners gets rid of the only weak point near the front - the power poles.
I often got some poles sniped by suicidal spitters not caring about the turrets shooting them.
