Logo-IC2 40 Mining Laser contains information about the Industrial Craft mod.

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.

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.
