I want to imagine the ammo pipe is just full of bullets. Not in mags or clips or containers, just bullets dumping out straight onto the turrets. And thats why your ammo pipes were never full. Because you were trying to produce enough raw *boolet* to fill the pipes

[@drsupergood8978]

The main problem you suffered with biters was you ran into an ammo death spiral. The ammo used to kill a large biter produced more pollution than the large biter costs to spawn. This is why more and more large biters kept showing up and would have cost you the game if you did not managed to switch to flamethrower turrets in time. You made matters a lot worse by throwing speed modules into the mining drills rather than efficiency modules because that massively raised the pollution cost per ammo rather than lowering it. The overall morale of the story is to not skip flamethrower turrets when dealing with standard biters. 3 of your expansions could have been protected by only using flamethrower turrets saving hundreds of thousands of iron ore. If you wanted to go all in on gun turrets, you really needed the damage upgrades from military science to keep them economical.

[@ajfish9514]

And all of this was made vastly worse by the immense amount of time and resources expended (and pollution created) of filling up the pipes with ammo.

[@rogo7330]

Also, walls + bots + repair packs are MUCH cheaper than ammo, so you can just accept that walls will be damaged and fixed by bots at the time when biters will be fried to the golden crust.

[@HaibaneKuu]

Interesting, I thought this is only a concern for deathworlds and such. Although considering the buffering problems this might close. I wonder if red ammo would be more efficient, because it was taking ages to kill big biters even with multiple turrets firing at them.

[@drsupergood8978]

@@HaibaneKuu Possibly in such a case. But without military science's physical damage upgrades its efficiency would still be bad, the buffering problem would be a lot worse and the death spiral would have still happened.

Mine turets with yellow ammo still work, maybe its because damage research.

[@ajfish9514]

@@user-lt5vc9ww8g Damage research is, indeed, the secret. As long as you keep up with them, yellow ammo outperforms red ammo due to red ammo being over three times as expensive. Even against behemoths, yellow manages better ammo efficiency if you have every damage research you can get prior to the rocket launch.

[@Templarfreak]

that "fluid loss" is happening because the displayed fluid value gets rounded up even though in actuality it's like 99.9901 or something like that and the remaining amount is just trapped in the pipe fluid system because it cant get properly "sucked up" because its such a small amount of fluid that the game either ignores it or the fluid physics cant push it through the pipe. something along those lines is how the fluid mechanics work in Factorio.

out of everything that's become a fluid, liquid solid fuel might be the funniest to me and i don't know why

[@gawain0]

So, to limit science production, you could've put down a pump, then a tank (just after the production), and have the pump read the tank contents. Then, have the pump stop if the tank had like, 1k fluid in it or something. The contents would still be multiplied by the amount of pipes in that network, but it would've still been better than letting production go until the pipes fully, completely backed up. And while this would have been quite annoying to set up, you could've done the same thing to limit ammo intake: Put a tank just before the exhausts, then a pump just before that. Connect them with a green/red wire, and stop the ammo flow when it was full enough. Of course you made the wall design before you had these thing, but I'm pretty sure the iron draw would've lower doing that than letting 200 ammo back up everywhere.
