it would be great if we can research more upgrades instead of having a cheat to toggle from the settings. like area and mining speed that goes past the non cheat version , i understand we have bots after, but this is fun

actually make it a quality thing if possible?

Please, I recently started a new run with it, and I love it. I don't want to have to stop using it later. I want to use it instead of personal construction bots, but past certain point it will be just a bit too slow. I love the control it gives me and it's just so much fun. The way I think about it is more like a sci-fi building tool like in games (think TF2 engi) than a shotgun. Upgrades and/or quality could make it shoot faster/more items at the the time and have a better range. Honestly, I think Factorio should just add it to vanilla. It is making this game so much more fun without making it feel like cheating.
