The lack of ammo in the Commonwealth can put an end to your adventures. Although you can buy and search for ammo, the Contraptions Workshop expansion pack forFallout 4offers a self-sufficient solution: Ammunition Plant. With this structure, you will always have enough ammunition and will no longer wonder how to craft ammo inFallout 4, so let’s talk about it in more detail.
Fallout 4: How to Build an Ammunition Plant
Before we get started, it’s worth noting that this structure is available exclusively in the Contraptions Workshop DLC, and the vanilla version of the game doesn’t have it. So,if you have already downloaded the DLC, you’re able to start building the factory, but first,you will need to get two perks:
Once you have done this, you can move on to building a full-fledged factory. This is a rather complicated, time-consuming, and resource-intensive process, so let’s talk about each step separately.
Place Ammunition Plant and Power it
The first step is to place theAmmunition Plant itself.Building this structure requires the following resources:
Once you have the necessary stuff, here are the steps to take to build an Ammunition Plant in your settlement:
Once this is done, also make sure to connect your Ammunition Plant to the electricity source. The Ammunition Plant requires 8 power, so make sure you have it so that the factory runs stably and efficiently. Once this is done, proceed to the next step.
Place Storage and Connect With the Ammunition Plant
For the produced ammunition, you will also need to create a storage space so that it does not stagnate in the factory and accumulate in a specially designated place. Accordingly, you will also need to set up a logistics system from the Ammunition Plant to the storage by placing Conveyor Storage and several Conveyor Belts. Here’s how to do it:
Here are the resources you will need to build both of these structures:
Conveyor Belts:Gears x4, Rubber x4, Steel x10.
Place Terminal and Connect it to Ammunition Plant
The last step towardscompleting the buildingof a full-fledged Ammunition Plant is to build a terminal. This is necessary to control the production, that is, the type of ammunition you create and its quantity. Similar to other structures, you’re able to build a terminal by entering workshop mode. Here, you can choose one of the available terminals that you like. After you build the terminal, also do not forget to connect all the necessary structures with Ammunition Plant. When this is done, you will finally be able to start producing ammunition.
How to Craft Ammo Using Ammunition Plant
When the factory is ready, you will finally be able to start producing ammo. To do this, all you need to do is interact with the terminal and select the type of ammo you want to produce. After that, interact with the Ammunition Plant and place the necessary resources there, after which the production will start, and you will be able to enjoy the automated ammo generation system. Here are the resources needed to craft different types of ammo:
