Ammo Bin SystemThe ammo bin lets you break down physical ammunition and magazinesinto a stowed pool of loose rounds that live on your character sheet.
Instead of dragging dozens of partial magazines and loose shells around,
you can convert them into a clean, numeric bin and pull from it later
as needed.
What gets stowed?- Loose rounds and shells recognized as ammunition- Magazines that still have rounds in them- Supported calibers are those defined in the ammo tables (9mm, .45,
12ga, 5.56mm, 7.62mm, etc.)
- Empty magazines are ignored (no rounds to stow)
When you stow a magazine, it is broken down and the current rounds
inside it are moved into your bin. The physical magazine is discarded.
When you stow a single shell, that shell becomes one loose round in the
bin.
CommandsSTOWConvert carried ammo into bin rounds.
Syntax:
stow <object>stow allstow <caliber>
Examples:
stow mag– break down a visible magazine in inventorystow shell– break down a visible shell/roundstow all– stow all mags and loose rounds you’re carryingstow 9mm– stow only your 9mm ammo and magazinesstow 12ga– stow only your 12 gauge shells
Notes:
- Partial magazines are fully supported: if a mag holds 17/30 rounds,
those 17 rounds go into the bin and the mag is discarded.
- Only items recognized as ammunition or gun magazines can be stowed.AMMORETRIEVEWithdraw ammo or magazines from your bin back into inventory.
Syntax:
ammoretrieve <caliber>- If the caliber has a magazine defined, you receive one magazine.- If not, you receive one loose round.ammoretrieve <caliber> mag- Create one magazine of that caliber (if defined) and load it
from your stowed rounds.
ammoretrieve <caliber> <count>- Withdraw that many loose rounds from your bin.ammoretrieve mag <caliber>- Same as above: one magazine of that caliber.ammoretrieve round <caliber>- Withdraw a single loose round of that caliber.ammoretrieve round <count> <caliber>- Withdraw N loose rounds of that caliber.
Examples:
ammoretrieve 9mm– prefer a 9mm mag if definedammoretrieve 9mm mag– force a 9mm magazineammoretrieve 12ga round– one 12 gauge shellammoretrieve round 20 5.56– 20 rounds of 5.56mm
If there are not enough rounds of that caliber in the bin, the command
will fail politely and leave your bin unchanged.

number of loose rounds recorded, plus a total count at the bottom.
Auto-Reload (overview)
Some firearms may attempt to reload automatically during combat. They will
first look for suitable magazines in your inventory. If none are available,
they may draw directly from your stowed ammo bin to top off the weapon,
shell by shell or in bulk, depending on the gun.
This behavior is weapon- and code-dependent, but the important point is:
keeping your bin stocked means you are less likely to “go dry” inextended fights, even when your belt pouches have been cleaned up.
