Allow inserters to reload basic turrets

Post by Tiggy »

TL;DR
Please allow the automation of basic turrets by letting inserters reload magazines.
What ?

Why ?
Automating is the name of the game, and this allows you to fully automate all your defenses. Granted, there's a counter-argument that we should be more involved with turrets - but I think that is shot down by the need for remote bases.

They already do. They just don't fill them up all the way.

The max is like 5 or something.

What really? Oh. In that case, never mind. Lol. Just let them fill up a bit more then, maybe.

Ammo in a destroyed turret will be lost, ammo on a belt not. So as long as there is ammo available, it should be safer to load only just enough into a turret to keep it going.
A good mod deserves a good changelog. Here's a tutorial (WIP) about Factorio's way too strict changelog syntax!
