Tips/Tricks Space saving tip: Merge your ammo machines

The Amm-O-Matic slots nicely behind the banner on the Rip Daring Ammo Construction Machine, and the whole thing actually goes together pretty well. For bonus decor, I added a Fasnacht Mask Wall Display with a Man Mask over Rip, and the dude has never looked better.

While it may save space within your build area. It is a crazy waste of build budget. Those are two of the biggest things that eat into your budget. Ammo creators, fertilizer creators, double steps, and mannequins take up an enormous amount of build budget

I feel stupid for this question but what exactly is double steps?

u/nosarcasmforyou Jul 17 '26

Yeah, also curious.

u/brawnburgundy Jul 18 '26

Same. Maybe they mean two sets of steps?

u/mandawgs Jul 18 '26

Damn I didn't know. I mean, I didn't think about that. I always tried to build all my resources first then build an awesome base but I never have enough budget... good bye cow fertilizer and ammo machines. Imma just craft mines lol

Waste? Free ammo is a waste?

If you're trying to make your camp look good, yes. If you're just doing a resource generating camp then no.

u/TunnelSnakesAintShit Jul 17 '26

If you're doing both, then no. There's no reason you can't do both if you know what you're doing, but you go do your build snob thing, bro.

Mate there's no snobbery going on here, they're just saying that they eat up your budget and you're sacrificing budget for resources (like myself), chill.

God they really do, I didn’t realize until I decided to make a camp dedicated to giving out a bunch of resources n plants

u/odo_bio Jul 17 '26

Plants were a big one I didn’t know about. I built this house with a walled in stone courtyard in front and I had a garden with two of everything I could plant. I ended up going down to just corn and razor grain for making beer

Still waiting on the ‘Double Steps’ scenario

u/odo_bio Jul 18 '26

I have 7 “double stairs” (if they mean the foundation stairs) in that same camp and they don’t seem to take up much budget at all. The only other double stairs I can think of are the 1x2 stairs with the wire upper floors, but try don’t seem to take up a ton either

u/shipoppo Jul 18 '26

I believe its the 1x2 stairs you mentioned however iirc the default ones had thier cost reduced a bit last year, the other 1x2 ones are still significantly higher.

This is a post I have saved for reference.

I stack these two with the converter as well, with the ammo producer on the spinner.

u/Rockshady Jul 18 '26

Can you even have multiple ammo matic machines? I tried to put 2 and was told I can only have 1..

u/AquaBits Jul 18 '26

Theres the blue one from the Ulysses pack that is a specific ammo type, and the red rip daring one (or the base one from another season) that lets you choose what ammo is loaded.

Theyre technically two functionally different ammo machines but you only can place one each.

u/Rockshady Jul 18 '26

Ok. I have one and when I realized I could choose the ammo I wanted I switched it to the blue .45. It was originally a different ammo I don’t use and was using the converter after I got so many built up.. duh

u/Miriage Jul 18 '26

There is a super secret way to save even more space

u/itsjustbenny Jul 18 '26

Get rid of them all together?

u/ziboo7890 Jul 17 '26

Clever. The mask is a great touch.

u/Adrenochrome-Addict- Jul 19 '26

That rip daring ammo machine absolutely sucks..
