On my first playthrough I literally ran out of all ammo, healing, most grenades, about 3 or 4 times in the game. Once it happened pretty late in the game and I barricaded myself in a room with a recycler, and all I had was a wrench and a recycle charge, tons of high level enemies just outside the door. So I started gathering up any type of metal for mineral resources and piling them up in the corner, looking at different pieces of furniture to gauge how much minerals I could get out of it by the amount of metal it contained. Out of that one recycle grenade I ended up making one more and some ammo and kept repeating the process until I was stocked up, one of the most unique gameplay experiences I've had
On my second playthrough now, once you know what to do, and how to manage inventory and resources, and conserve, then ammo no longer becomes an issue. I have more supplies and ammo now then I even need. First playthrough was rough though, but I kinda liked that feeling of being overwhelmed with no supplies left.
And the gloo gun is a lifesaver, even though it does no damage its the most important 'weapon' in the game so I always make sure to stock up on ammo. Glued enemies take way more damage and some enemies are weaker to it than others, glue then shoot and then glue again before they break free and finish them off, you can beat most enemies in the game like this.
The psi Alien powers are crazy strong though, and you can do some matrix style combos if you use some of them in conjunction in creative ways. Its pretty crazy how some people use the abilities and tools in this game to essentially 'game' the game, so many ways to approach a problem. I was watching a few vids of this game and it gave me even more ideas that I never even thought about.
