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. IndustrialCraft machines drop a [[Machine]] block, as if they were destroyed by a pickaxe.

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.

Firing Modes[edit]

The Mining Laser can store 80.000 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 (64 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 10.000 (8 shots) 10 hearts 64 blocks 27 (smoothstone), 128+ (dirt)
Scatter 25 beams, 5x5 square formation, average power per beam 20.000 (4 shots) 2.5 hearts 64 blocks 16 (smoothstone), 16 (dirt)
Explosive The beam explodes upon touching a block 10.000 (8 shots) 3.5 hearts 64 blocks 2 (smoothstone), 5 (dirt)

Charging[edit]

This tool may only be charged in an MFE Transmitter or an MFS Unit.
