I don't need an alert. Im running two different ammo types. I didn't run out it just switched. Stop telling me I ran out , damn.. haha

at least for few ticks the turret IS empty, so the alert is correct.

The narrow kind of correct that misses the point, though. A half second delay or so would be a big QoL improvement.

having a condition "is this turret empty for x" will cost some performance for a very limited improvement.

We can let Wube worry about performance!

But off the top of my head, I don't see how it would be any more performance intensive than the alert itself which has to remember to go away after X ticks.

A fix could be just adding a second ammo slot to the turrets, allowing two different ammunitions (either really different, or just quality different) to be loaded at the same time. When one is empty, as long as there would be something in the other, no alert (the way locomotives have 3 fuel slots, and don't flash when one is empty).

Oh, that would be ideal.
