Storage accomodating multiple ammo types

Lafiel

We have been talking about storages (cargo bay) able to store different types of ammo before. Now I've found another perhaps more compelling reason. The reason is compatibility among mods. In this case two mods using their own ammo ID for basically the same function and the same storage. Storage here refers to tampered vanilla parts. Therefore, my thinking is to allow storages to be able to have a list of different ammo type with the same value amount (e.g. 1 battery=1000). They would be able to accept transfers from either. Weapons and converters have to be able to handle these storages, too. Ammo types would be just for differentiation while amount values become the main handling focus. By doing this it would be possible for different mods to share or use the same component functions added to vanilla parts, yet, using their own ammo type specific graphics and parts.

Lafiel I think what you're shooting for here might be better shot at with ammo sums and a crap ton of logic gluem

Storages that can hold multiple types simultaneously is pretty infeasible right now and will probably have to wait until storage gets revamped completely when resources get added.

If you want a storage whose type the player can toggle between, I think you should be able to make that work using ToggledComponents.

I don't want to go that far. The number of logic glue needed is already growing exponentially for certain applications.

Lafiel I know, its great. I love that there's so much more we can do now.
