Laser turrets are an advanced defense building with a longer range, infinite ammo, good damage and use electricity to operate (and a smaller amount of energy when idle). By dealing laser damage they don't face any resistances (enemies receive full damage) but have a lower rate of fire than gun turrets. Each shot costs a constant 800kJ of energy; as the shooting speed increases through upgrades, so too does the power required to keep firing.
Using laser turrets to ward off attacks can cause electricity usage spikes, so accumulators (or steam storage and excess turbines) can be used to offset the spikes to keep the rest of the network fully functional. 8 accumulators is enough to fully power 1 laser turret for 50 shots, and 8 steam engines is enough to power 3 laser turrets, with a full storage tank of 165° steam providing enough energy for 937.5 shots total.
