Projectile behaviour when homing (and not)

[Stringweasel]

Just some information that I figured out which cost me an few headscratches, which could be part of the documentation for https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/pro ... otype.html. I believe this could be part of the general description at the top.

Projectiles have two modes, homing, or not homing.

When in homing mode only one projectile can home to a single target, which can cause projectile turrets to not launch another projectile if the first projectile missed the target. When in this mode the projectile doesn't need a collision box.

When not in homing mode the projectile needs a collision box.

Something I'm unsure of, when the projectile never collides with anything, will it travel forever?

This is the maximum range this projectile will travel after which it will expire.
