i Collision box visual aid

Hi.
As a way to improve UX of the huge collision boxes I believe you coud add some underlying graphics to the corresponding prototypes. If I understand correctly, it can be done with a "low-object" flag.
So it could look something like this: https://imgur.com/a/tey6bks

I've tried to add some simple background image for myself, and the simplest way was to replace with it the picture of a hidden pole entity. But there were issues with shadow clipping despite any flags I've tried, and of course this background wasn't displayed while placing a turbine.
So instead I've added integration_patch property to a turbine entity, now it works just as I wanted. And the best part is that it doesn't require a matching frame_count\direction_count; single frame is enough.

This is some old mod i made just because there was no other wind turbine mod that i liked.
When i made, i didnt have much experience on Solidworks Rendering and Factorio, i can do better now....
The idea was only to limit the distance between turbines, not other buildings, but there was no way to do on that time.
But i think now they added the API to do it, when and if i touch this mod again, i will try to implement this.

Well, I hope you'll be able to continue to support it, but it's a nice mod anyway. Thanks.
