Ammo Is Complicated
"Ammo Is Complicated" is a Rimworld mod which makes ammo production use various materials
from various mods that add them. Recipes will also use chemfuel as a replacement for powder. If anyone knows of a good mod that adds powder please do let me know.

Ammo is scarce
If you have [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2574315206]XmlExtensions[/url] mod enabled, Ammo Is Complicated will have an option to reduce the amount of ammunition produced (check xmlextension options - that little `+` button near Mod Options). This is an experimental feature for now, and it will just adjust values for all the ammo which it can find without thinking twice. It won't find some like arrows or pilas, BUT it will adjust stick bombs which are quite expensive to make. It will also not change recipes' names so you will still see "Make pistol ammo x500" even if it only makes 10 now.
I will probably change the way it works in the coming days.
Balance
I'm not a gun enthusiast and never held one, and i'm certainly not spending the rest of my life researching bullet composition of every single - hundreds of them! - ammo piece in CE. So,

I think they're good enough, though again i can't be sure considering how much ammunition CE has. The mod only replaces Uranium and Steel, leaving things like plasteel, components etc intact.
It only replaces industrial and late medieval ammunition, though it would be nice to also add arrows and such. Maybe i will.
