The Mining Laser is a tool that can mine blocks in a pattern. It can be powered by a LapPack, but not a BatPack. It cannot be charged in a BatBox; to charge it you put it in an MFE Unit or an MFSU.
Uses[]
The Mining Laser has several modes:
- Mining: Mines in a straight line, average power.
- Low-focus: Short Range, non-penetrating shot. Very low power.
- Long range: Long range, penetrating shot. High power.
- Scatter: Uses a lot of energy, fires 25 beams in a 5x5 Square, average power.
- Explosive: Causes the shot block to explode violently.
- Horizontal: Same as mining, but is always horizontal.
- Superheat: Smelts ores hit by Mining laser, it also turns sand to glass.
To switch modes, hold the M key and right click to cycle through the modes.
The Mining Laser can also be called more useful than a diamond tool, due to the modes and patterns. However is potentially more dangerous as lava can be exposed very easily, possibly destroying dropped materials. Also, the mining laser has a chance of destroying the block that is being mined, so it is recommended that you use a pickaxe when mining diamond or tungsten ore.
The Mining Laser must be charged before it can be used for the first time.
Firing mode | Mode description | EU used per shot | Damage per shot | Beam travel distance | Block penetration distance |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mining | Normal beam, average power | 1250 (160 shots) | 3.5 hearts | 64 blocks | 6 (stone), 24 (dirt) |
Low-Focus | Very short-range beam, small power | 100 (2000 shots) | 0.5 hearts | 3 blocks | 1 (stone), 2 (dirt) |
Long-Range | High-powered beam, high power | 5000 (40 shots) | 10 hearts | 64 blocks | 27 (stone), 128+ (dirt) |
Scatter | 25 beams, 5x5 square formation, average power per beam | 10,000 (20 shots) | 2.5 hearts | 64 blocks | 16 (stone), 16 (dirt) |
Explosive | The beam explodes upon touching a block | 5000 (40 shots) | 3.5 hearts | 64 blocks | 2 (stone), 5 (dirt) |
Horizontal | The beam will travel perfectly horizontally. Presumed to be similar to mining mode. | 1250 (160 shots) | 3.5 hearts | 64 blocks | 6 (stone), 24 (dirt) |
Super-Heat | If the target can be smelted, the smelted product will be dropped instead of the block itself (eg, hit a iron ore block and an iron ingot will drop). Works on non-vanilla items, such as Redpower Basalt cobble or Forestry tin ore. Exception for cobblestone and sand; see below. | 2500 (80 shots) | Unknown | Presumed to be 64 | 1 (stone), 13 (dirt) |

Notes[]
- When using scatter mode frivolously, you may encounter a large and irrecoverable lag spike due to the large number of unstacked resource blocks appearing. You may need to try and wait the 6 minutes for the items to de-spawn, or try and leave the area to allieviate this.
