Mortar Turret

by Camora

-Adds a long-range mortar turret to Factorio with two shell types. -Standard shells deliver heavy explosive area damage, while poison shells create a toxic cloud that damages and briefly confuses enemies. Both are designed to complement each other by combining burst damage and crowd control.
