You are supposed to be crafting them on the platform itself. Otherwise, simply launching :D

I never tested but I afraid that drone delivery will not work, due to absence of air. So only belts remain - not much choice.

I've been wondering this too.

  • yellow ammo is trivial to make on the spot and just feed direct.
  • for red, you can launch 50 mags but you can get 1000 copper into a launch rocket for 200 red mags (after processing the iron/steel/yellow in orbit)
  • Ur is only 20 for a rocket (and you could just throw 25 green mags in) so green ammo is a premium I don't think is worth it yet
Having determined I wanna try red mags, I'm trying to work out a good way to get the red mags to the turrets. exiting an underground belt to 4 inserters is the best I can come up with

Don't forget turrets can feed ammo to other turrets.

I’m unsure of what you are asking.

The layout of turrets or the space platform itself?
Is my turret layout picture not descriptive enough?
In short, could you elaborate on what you need help with.
