Whoa! That's nice! What just hits me, this can be an opportunity for brand new VLAN support in Factorio! With some sort of n-port switch with tagging/untagging support, you'd be able to to create a real backhaul - a line carrying multiple IDs via single connection - a Trunk. With those switches on ...

My major concern is that DX12 is only on Windows 10 (I use 7). Vulkan has more support, however it's less of an established thing than DX - in another thread Posila said that it might happen if someone felt like it but it's somewhat incomplete and not supported by Apple.

I have the same concern ...

Oops. This should be probably moved to "Ideas and Suggestions"

I could not find such modifier type anywhere, but yes, there is a chance that is already here, but is not documented in api-doc, just like "aritllery-range"

I tried to make plugin for laser turrets range research similarly as artillery ranges.

But I found that for laser turrets there are missing modifier for modify range. Artillery has this modifier (although it is NOT documented).
