Adds 8 (15 counting variations) new turrets for dealing with alien menace, as well as other military-related items. Good compliment to mods that add new biter types, like Rampant or Natural Evolution.
Scattering Turrets -
In the previous version of the game (v1.1), these turrets when rotated by 45 degrees did not move pads, and occupied only 4 tiles (2x2), as well as guns that are rotated by 90 degrees.
In this version v2.0 - the platform itself under the turrets also rotates at 45 degrees and slides to the side, and when installed requires a 3x3 tiles pad.
Yes, this fixes collision box of the turret being rotated, but it brings a much bigger issue with it. Unfortunately I have to wait for the devs to implement the fix, because there is no combination of parameters that brings back desired behaviour from Factorio 1.1.

So I had to choose the lesser evil and just take the collision box being rotated.
ah, got it. I didn't notice it was turning the turret direction.
I will try to elaborate workaround for this
EDIT: maybe I'll attach a diff patch to one of the current/next versions of the mod - I don't see where you keep the source, the mod portal doesn't have a link to that
