Auto Ammo Recycling

AmmoRecycleMod

Lets your crew recycle empty turret ammo boxes at the fabricator on their own – added as a fourth option to the built-in "Load Items" order.

Features

• New "Recycle Ammo" option under "Load Items" (Maintenance category)
• Bots find empty ammo boxes that fit a turret somewhere on the sub (handheld weapon ammo is ignored)
• The box is brought to the nearest fabricator (or its linked storage cabinet) and recycled there via its recycling recipe – cheaper than building a fresh one from scratch
• The finished box is then picked up on its own and delivered to the nearest ammo storage (or simply set down next to it if there's no room)
• Multiple ammo variants (e.g. different turret shell types) are detected and handled in parallel automatically
• If raw materials are missing, that ammo type is silently skipped until enough is available again – no constant spam
• Does NOT load the finished ammo into the turret itself – that's still handled by the vanilla "Turret Ammo" option of "Load Items", so the two orders don't interfere with each other

Setup (requires LuaCsForBarotrauma)

This mod needs C# modding support. If you haven't set that up yet: [olist] [*] Subscribe to both LuaCsForBarotrauma and CsForBarotrauma on the Workshop (both are needed) [*] Subscribe to this mod (AmmoRecycleMod) as well [*] Enable all three under "Mods" in-game [*] Turn on "Enable CSharp" in the LuaCsForBarotrauma settings [*] If C# support doesn't start automatically afterwards: briefly host a server yourself once (solo is fine, any name works) – this installs the client-side Lua component. You can then leave the server and play normally (including offline) [*] Restart Barotrauma [/olist] The "Recycle Ammo" option will then appear automatically as the fourth choice under "Load Items" in the order wheel.

Known Limitations

• Thoroughly tested with coilgun ammo; other turret types should work too thanks to the generic detection, but haven't been individually verified
