Vary the color of turret range on map view depending on which ones contain ammunition

What ?
Turrets display their range on the map view in a red circle.

However, some of these turrets are actually out of ammunition. I suggest another color (like grey) is used for this circle when indicating the range of turrets which are out of ammunition. This can be added as a toggleable option in menu > settings > interface.
Furthermore, I suggest the red circles of loaded turrets be drawn on top of grey circles, substituting the grey instead of mixing with it, to not cause overlap between the two colors and creating a concise view of
actual turret coverage.
Why ?
During the early game, it is not uncommon to distribute singular turrets around your base and hand-fill them, until you are able to make a completely automated solution. If this early base grows too large- which it regularly does- it would be nice to see where ammunition is needed based on the map view, since the 'coverage' of turrets without ammunition is not really 'coverage'.

Would be quite helpful, especially early game.
