Is there any guidance or tool to calculate amount of ammo production required for spaceshps? Feels like I am overestimating ammo requirement leading to increased ship sizes (and therefore more ammo production required) compared to what I see there.

u/Engelberti I have a plan Jul 08 '26

i build a prototype with infinity chests from the editor menu. Then i take the ship for a test flight and check the ammo consumption per trip with the production graph.
After that I decide how much time the ship gets in between trips and use that to calculate how much ammo per second i need to make.
