Quad-Sized 25x184 Gatling Ammo Boxes

Quad-Sized 25x184 Gatling Ammo Boxes increases the capacity of the NATO 25x184 gatling ammo box to 4x the normal size, while still occupying the same volume. Production of these quad-sized ammo boxes requires:

- 200x iron (5x the standard cost, presumably the box itself requires additional material)
- 4x the nickel and magnesium (as expected)
- 30 seconds (only 3x the standard time, we're making a single quad-sized box, not four standard-sized boxes)

This mod was created due to responses from my "Heavy Iron Ammo" mod, where many players thought that the magnesium cost of ammo was just fine, but they really liked the idea of larger-sized ammo boxes.

Currently, Space Engineers doesn't seem to allow adding a brand new type of ammo that current weapons will recognize. So for now, quad-sized ammo boxes fully replace the original NATO 25x184mm ammo box. The name includes the words "quad-sized" so you know that you are using the larger versions from this mod.

Old ammo boxes that were created prior to installing this mod and already "loaded" into a turret will still have their old ammo count. Old ammo boxes that were not loaded, e.g. sitting in a container, seem to be converted to the new quad-sized box.

Also note that, as far as we've been able to tell, this also means that NPC spawns will also have 4x the gatling ammo because they will also use these quad-sized boxes!

(NOTE: This mod will not work alongside my "Heavy Iron Ammo" mod, because they both modify the default ammo box. If both are loaded, then the game will choose only one to work.)
