Most buildings (like boilers, steam engines, ...) have arrows for the fluid ports when enabling ALT-mode. Only the flamethrower turret is missing these arrows. See attached screenshot.

I'd assume that the resolution is identical to your other report viewtopic.php?f=23&t=69273 . Since flamethrowers behave as pipes, and pipes don't have port arrows, it shouldn't have the arrows either.

Mining drills (which according to posila behave as ordinary pipes too) have arrows. So it should pe possible for flamethrowers to have them, too.

This issue came up when a friend of mine played Factorio and had to ask me how to use the turret. There were no arrows, so he tried to put flamethrower ammo in the turret via inserter (which obviously didn't work).

To be fair, that was exactly what I thought at first too. I didn't bother building flamethrower ammo because I saw the recipe for the portable ammo and thought it was way too expensive and complicated for a turret.

Yeah I think they should be there, so added them.
