The ammunition plant is a constructible piece of machinery used for manufacturing added in the Fallout 4 add-on Contraptions Workshop.
Gameplay
The plant requires 8 power and does not have to be connected via a wire, any power going through the line will automatically connect it to the system. In order to build the ammunition plant, the Sole Survivor must have at least one rank in the Gun Nut and Science! perks.
The recipes of the ammunition this machine can craft are accessible via a terminal, with more ammunition recipes becoming available when ranking up the Gun Nut perk. All types of bullets are churned out in batches of 10 every 10 seconds, provided the electricity and material requirements are met, and the type of ammunition has been selected previously on a terminal.

Notes
- Only one ammunition plant will show up in the connected terminal's control menu regardless of how many plants are actually linked into the network. This makes it impossible to mass-produce several ammo types in parallel without setting up an independent power network for each plant.
- Just as with settlement workshops, it is not necessary to load the plant with raw components if sufficient junk is loaded instead. For instance, a pencil will satisfy the lead requisite to craft .308, .44 or .50 Calibers.
- If the conveyor that is a part of the model isn't moving but the attached conveyors are, store the ammunition plant in a workshop, then replace it.
- The ammunition plant cannot be used to craft ammunition from the Far Harbor and Nuka-World add-ons, such as .45-70 and 7.62 Rounds.
