Factoriopedia "Ammo Category" improvements

Post by riking »

The "Ammo category" pages in the Factoriopedia are pretty barebones and need some love.

- Remove most items from the "Related" category
- Add a new "Used by" category: guns, vehicles with guns on them, turrets
- Add a new "Ammunition" category: the various types of ammo that match the category
- Add Grenade and Land Mine to their ammo categories as "Ammunition"
- Retain in the "Related" category: Defender bot line, Flamethrower Turret, Tesla Turret (these do not actually consume the ammo but instead convert some other resource)

Also now that I think about it, the "Electric" ammo category should actually be a "Damage category", and Flamethrower would be a combined "Ammo/Damage Category" page. Artillery Shell (Ammo Category) would link to both Physical (Damage category) and Explosion (Damage category).

Also, to be honest, it would be great, if anywhere in factoriopedia would be mentioned about damage multipliers for flamethrower turrets different fuels.

Someone made a bug report because they were mislead by the "Ammo category" section of the Tesla turret, that seems relevant to this: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=121888&p=641087. It was closed as "not a bug", but it could plausibly be a valid feature request.

In addition to the ideas above, I'd like if the "Ammo category/Damage category" wiki pages included shooting speed researches, and the range research for artillery as well, since those are also researches that improve a specific damage category.
