A Factorio 2.0+ mod that allows you to configure the idle power consumption (drain) of laser turrets and extend laser shooting speed technologies beyond the vanilla limits.
Features

• ⚡ Configurable Idle Drain: Set the base background power consumption (drain) for laser turrets directly in the startup settings (default: 10 kW).
• 🔫 Extended Tech Progression: Expands laser turret attack speed capabilities past level 6.
• 📈 Customizable Tech Levels: Set the maximum technology level in startup settings (e.g., 10 levels) or set it to 0 for infinite technology progression.
• 🧪 Late-Game Science Balance: High-level technologies scale using Utility (yellow) and Space science packs with dynamic cost formulas ($2500 + 2500 \times L$).

Configuration

You can adjust these parameters under Settings -> Mod settings -> Startup:

• Laser Turret Drain (low_power_turrets-drain): Idle energy consumption in kW (Default: 10, Min: 1, Max: 1000).
• Maximum Tech Levels (max_technologies): Maximum number of additional shooting speed levels to generate. Set to 0 for infinite levels (Default: 10, Min: 0, Max: 100).

Compatibility

• Designed for Factorio 2.0 and Space Age.
• Safe to add to existing save files.
