Crafting bullets

But it has already been confirmed in trello, devlog 4 and the wiki.

Oven-like thing and a frying pan?

i mean, it should be hard to do and require a special crafting station perhaps, or a special crafting skill tree. also they should have a chance of misfire/not working properly

In fact they are less efficient they do not penetrate right in walls and probably do not give so much damage, but this of the chance so that in the game communities of different groups are created that exchange things with each other.

To be honest I could see that working out. There should be makeshift “bullet boxes” that could work aside from the mili/ranger/civilian ones.
that’d be cool for large groups

I suggested boxes still today to a few hours a 2.

If you were attempting to describe reality...

If it doesn’t have to be reliable you could replace the spring with gravity feed.
If you’re talking about making a usable magazine, then you need the springs to be the precise length, temper, shape, and size to put enough pressure to move the cartridge stack up without putting so much pressure that it would force cartridges out of or bend the feed lips, and to do this no matter how many or how few cartridges are in the magazine.
The magazine body itself must be as straight or curved as the cartridge taper causes the cartridge stack to be. The magazine body must also be thin or thick enough for a double stack or single stack of cartridges: If it’s too thin to form a single stack, then the cartridges simply cannot fit, if it’s wider than a double stack, then the cartridges will need additional guides to keep them from spreading out and/or binding against cartridges in adjacent stacks, if it’s too thin to form a proper double stack, but too wide to be constricted to a single stack, the cartridges will be pushed to expand sideways to form a double stack which would cause increased friction and stress on the magazine walls. The magazine material should probably be thick enough that you couldn’t bend it into shape with your bare hands.
The feed lips must hold the cartridges at the appropriate height to interface with the feed system, must guide the cartridges as they are removed from the magazine, must release the cartridges at the right angle to interface properly with the feed ramp, and must retain the cartridges except when acted upon by the specific forces used to feed from or empty the magazine.

If you were trying to inform us of what it takes in-game, you would be misinforming, as there isn’t even a crafting system in game.

If you were trying to inform us of the potential crafting recipes, you didn’t come anywhere close to covering the infinite number of possible crafting recipes.

If you were attempting to convince us that the crafting recipe you gave would be the optimal solution, you failed to give any reasoning why that would be. I would argue that instead of being able to simply fabricate steel sheets and springs into any one of a long list of magazines, magazines should need to be crafted at sheet metal stamping crafting stations and the magazine being crafted should be decided by what guides/gauges/whatever-tooling-you-want-to-have-in-game you are using and mapmakers could have the inclusion and exclusion of different tooling at different locations as part of the map design.

in this situation how about a automatic Bullet crafter? materials are placed in funnels in the top, and gradually over time it creates bullets. at a downside though this machine would require power, and for different bullets it would require a new craft or you would have to wait for the current crafter to deplete its storage
