Easy access to turret "damage per shot"

Post by Reika »

This was asked on "property requests", but that thread was abandoned soon after, so here I ask again:

That value depends on the ammo being used and the researched force modifiers. As such, the "final" value is not known from a given prototype. Additionally that damage value isn't accurate unless the target has zero resistances/shields.

I don't see exposing it being of any practical use except to confuse people when it's not what they think it is.

What do you want it for?
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Calculating how many shots will be necessary to kill a given biter, and by extension how long ammo is expected to last, and thus whether the ammo is "low" or not.
