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:

1. Subscribe to both LuaCsForBarotrauma and CsForBarotrauma on the Workshop (both are needed)

2. Subscribe to this mod (AmmoRecycleMod) as well

3. Enable all three under "Mods" in-game

4. Turn on "Enable CSharp" in the LuaCsForBarotrauma settings

5. 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)

6. Restart Barotrauma

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
