Spawn Code

Use this code to spawn in an Ammo Pool:

admincheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/Mods/AmmoPools/Structure/PrimalItemStructure_AmmoPool.PrimalItemStructure_AmmoPool'" 1 1  0[/code]

There is also an engram for it. You can learn it at level 60 after learning the Auto-Turret Engram. You craft it in your inventory.

[h1]How to use an Ammo Pool[/h1]

[b]Step 1:[/b] Place an Ammo Pool 

[b]Step 2:[/b] Open the radial menu by holding 'E' and then select "Connect to Turrets". This will automatically connect it to any turrets in range. You do not have to do anything to the turrets themselves. If they successfully connect, you will see a blue ring around each turret that connected. The ring will disappear after a few seconds.

[b]Step 3:[/b] Place some Advanced Rifle Ammo in the Ammo Pool's inventory. Watch the magic happen.

[h1]Other Features & Info[/h1]

[b]Ammo Cap[/b]
The ammo cap is a limit the Ammo Pool checks whenever it's giving bullets to a turret. If the turret is at or is above the ammo cap, the Ammo Pool won't give it any bullets. Once the turret drops below the ammo cap, it will start receiving bullets again. 

You can adjust the ammo cap through the radial menu on the Ammo Pool, up or down by 50 at a time. It can go up to 50,000. You can also still manually put bullets into the turret if you want to go above the cap.

[b]View Range[/b]
This option is also on the radial menu. If you select it, a sphere will appear that shows how far the Ammo Pool reaches. It will disappear after 15 seconds.

[b]Activate Turrets[/b]
Also on the radial menu, this will turn on any connected turrets that have power. This is to make it easy to turn all your turrets back on if they get shut down, your generator quits, or a sandstorm blows through. There currently isn't an option to turn them all off at the same time.

[b]Change Range[/b]
Radial Menu - Adjusts range for all connected turrets.

[b]Change Targets[/b]
Radial Menu - Adjusts target settings (players only, wild only, etc.) for all connected turrets.

[b]Change Warning[/b]
Radial Menu - Adjusts warning time for all connected turrets.

[b]Change AP Range[/b]
This adjusts the range of your AP between low, medium, and high. Medium is the default.

[b]Inventory Slots[/b]
The AP has 150 slots in it's inventory. On vanilla Ark, this means you can store up to 7,500 bullets - much, much more if you have a stacks mod.

[b]Visual Cues[/b]
Each time a bullet is sent out from the Ammo Pool, the sides of the structures will blink orange. When a turret receives a bullet, an orange circle will blink around it (looks like the blue ring when you're connecting turrets).

[b]Ammo Dispensing Rate[/b]
Ammo dispenses from the Ammo Pool at the same rate as the turrets fire (every half second). Additionally, it will distribute one bullet to every connected turret (that is below the ammo cap) at the same time. This means if you have 8 turrets connected and all 8 need bullets, all 8 will receive a bullet every half-second. This allows the turrets to all keep firing and it distributes the ammo evenly to whichever turrets need it.
