How to Automate Gun Parts and Bullet Casings

Supplying an armory by hand slows down quickly once you unlock repeating shotguns and automatic rifles. By connecting custom presses with mechanical belts, you can set up full factories that stamp metal components, form casings, and prepare ammunition.

Stamping Metal Gun Parts

1. Build a powered mechanical belt line in your workshop and place a Stamping Press along the path.

2. Craft the metal templates that match the specific firearm components you want to mass-produce.

3. Pair the appropriate metal template with the Stamping Press and feed metal materials down the belt so the machine stamps out gun parts automatically.

Drawing Brass Casings and Mixing Gunpowder

1. Construct a second belt line fitted with a Drawing Press dedicated to ammunition production.

2. Roll brass into brass sheets first, then route those sheets into the Drawing Press.

3. Adjust your production line to turn brass sheets into the different sizes of bullet casings needed for your revolvers, lever-action rifles, or heavy weapons.

4. Route mined sulfur ore into a mixing setup to mix gunpowder continuously, keeping your finished brass casings supplied for live ammunition assembly.
