Factorio Forums

For Tesla turret, Factoriopedia shows "Ammo Category: Tesla". This is incorrect, because the turret does not, in fact, use ammo. It confused me and caused me to ignore Tesla turrets since I thought the ammo would be too tedious to ship from Fulgora.

A similar issue exists with Flamethrowers turrets (though it's less of a problem since most players will know its behavior from 1.1).

Thanks for the report however that is correct. Ammo category is not the same as "uses an ammo item". Ammo category is what's used when determining what ammo items can be used by a turret, as well as what research gives bonuses to.

There is already a feature request for this: viewtopic.php?p=634850. I will link this there, as it seems relevant.
