Mining Laser
New Item/Block of IndustrialCraft².
The Mining Laser is a powerful high-tech tool with a variety of applications. It can be used as an insta-mining tool with a relatively low EU consumption, as well as a high-power AoE block remover, or even as a weapon. All blocks destroyed by the Laser are dropped, with the exception of non-drop blocks like Glass or Leaves. However, due to the destructive nature of the Laser, there is a chance that the block will be destroyed and not drop anything. IndustrialCraft machines drop a Machine block, as if they were destroyed by a pickaxe. As of 1.337, the Mining Laser can use energy from a LapPack.
The Mining Laser has 5 different modes. These modes can be switched by holding the M key and right-clicking.
Recipe[edit]
Firing Modes[edit]
The Mining Laser can store 100,000 EU, which determines how many shots of each type can be fired. The block penetration distance depends on the hardness of the particular block. In this chart, block penetration is based on smoothstone and dirt. For explosive shots, the penetration radius denotes the radius of the explosion.
Firing mode | Mode description | EU used per shot | Damage per shot | Beam travel distance | Block penetration distance |
Mining | Normal beam, average power | 1250 (80 shots) | 3.5 hearts | 64 blocks | 6 (smoothstone), 24 (dirt) |
Low-Focus | Very short-range beam, small power | 100 (800 shots) (?) | 0.5 hearts | 3 blocks | 1 (smoothstone), 2 (dirt) |
Long-Range | High-powered beam, high power | 5000 (20 shots) | 10 hearts | 64 blocks | 27 (smoothstone), 128+ (dirt) |
Scatter | 25 beams, 5x5 square formation, average power per beam | 10,000 (10 shots) | 2.5 hearts | 64 blocks | 16 (smoothstone), 16 (dirt) |
Explosive | The beam explodes upon touching a block | 5000 (20 shots) | 3.5 hearts | 64 blocks | 2 (smoothstone), 5 (dirt) |
