[2.0.15] flamethrower turret has hidden ammo stash

Post by TheLoeki »

Setup a flamethrower turret
Connect it to a wire and set it to read ammunition
Connect it to a pipe, let it fill up.
It reads 100 but already flushy sound plays a lot longer beyond the 100 level.
Disconnect it.

Signal stays 100, ammunition full, for whole swarms of biters before it starts dropping.
It looks like there's a hidden tank in there?

Thanks for the report. You are correct, they have an internal buffer.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

So the ammunition readout on the turret remaining 100 while there's (much) more ammunition in the turret ánd ammunitition is being drained is NOT considered a bug??
