Q: Where does ammo come from?
I have received ammo as a random reward in treat bags, squishing Rigellian invaders, and blowing up UFOs. Seems kind of rare, there.
Also, the Ray Gun I bought today with donuts (which I believe is a re-released item) pays out 1x ammo every 8 hours.
Q: When you are shooting at a UFO in a neighbor's Springfield, should you shoot it a bunch of times...
I just sort of kept tapping the screen as it went by. I blew up about five of them in various towns (both friends' and my own). It doesn't seem to matter where you tap it, nor does there appear to be an advantage to "saving" your ammo. You got a bullet and see a UFO. Kill it. Profit.
Q: Will facehuggers attach on a person who is on a task?
Yup. I just watched Smithers get 'hugged while Whipping it, and I've seen others get attached while both on and off tasks. It doesn't seem to matter. Also, seems random, and other than enjoying the animation of face-hugging, there doesn't seem to be any bonus payout or otherwise any sort of advantage to squishing invaders attached or not. They pay the same.
Q: Lastly, how long does it take for the little squishable aliens to respawn in your own Springfield, and is there a limit to how many there can be before they stop spawning? Is there a period of time in which we don't need to bother checking in because there won't be any to squish? But if you wait too long you will be missing out on one's that could be spawned if you'd made room by squishing their predecessors?
Aliens spawn once every five minutes, and when they do, there is an audio and visual queue. The alert is just a particular sound you'll learn to recognize. As for the visual queue: If you just let your city set there after a few moments the UI disappears (touch anything and it comes back). Well, when that noise sounds the "crafting icon" in the upper-right corner of the screen (where the CoC attack button was) will become visible even if you don't touch anything, as an visual queue that there's an invader in your town.
After about 30mins away to go pick-up dinner, I came back to find four invaders in my town. Not sure if that's a hard limit or just what I could find in that time.
I haven't done enough testing to answer the rest of your questions regarding the alien spawning, but I hope the above helps.
Happy Tappy Halloween!
