Version: 1.1.1
Date: 2025-06-13
  Changes:
    - Added item weights to upgraded laser turrets based on rocket capacity reduction:
      MK1 50kg, MK2 66.667kg, MK3 100kg, MK4 200kg.
    - Weight progression follows the rule that each tier reduces rocket payload by 5
      (from the vanilla 25 payload, i.e., 40kg per turret).
Version: 1.1.0
Date: 2025-06-06
  Changes:
    - Increased damage modifiers to 4/8/12/20 per tier.
    - Overhauled energy system: buffer capacity, input flow limit, drain, and attack consumption now scale progressively, greatly improving sustained fire capability.
    - Updated recipes to use advanced Space Age materials: tungsten plates, tungsten carbide, superconductors, supercapacitors, carbon fiber, ammonia, quantum processors, promethium asteroid chunks, and cold fluoroketone.
    - MK3 and MK4 now require a cryogenic plant for final assembly.
    - Technology packs rebalanced: all tiers include space science packs; MK3 adds agricultural and cryogenic packs; MK4 adds promethium science pack.
    - Replaced manual animation building with recursive mask tinting (inherited from Rocket Turret upgrade logic), ensuring correct coloring across all turret states.
    - Unified custom icons for items, entities, and technologies.
    - Updated English and Chinese locale with full descriptions.
