The guide says that ammo weight affects damage, but it only affects weight

[ChiefArug]

The guidebook says that ammo weight affects damage, but that is untrue. It only affects penetration. See code: https://github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2/blob/b271fa33c7efb90211620c3cb940f9c0a64d2b1f/src/main/java/appeng/items/tools/powered/MatterCannonItem.java#L181-L182 https://github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2/blob/b271fa33c7efb90211620c3cb940f9c0a64d2b1f/guidebook/items-blocks-machines/matter_cannon.md?plain=1#L18

Huh.. I tested this in game with custom ammo (weight of 1000) and that took 20 hits to kill a creeper.

If you compare iron and gold you see a large difference. https://github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2/blob/main/src/main/java/appeng/datagen/providers/recipes/MatterCannonAmmoProvider.java

Are you exaggerating with 20 hits? 👀

Nope, I counted. It may of been an issue with the incredibly custom KubeJS scripts I was using to add the ammo recipe, if the weight fields is optional and defaults to 1 damage. I can check tomorrow.

Which version was it on, anyway?

[ChiefArug]

1.20.1

[ChiefArug]

Tried again today.. and it worked?? No idea why it wasn't working before
