Summary[edit | edit source]
The Exocraft Mining Laser is a weapon which can be mounted on any Exocraft, but comes pre-installed on the Colossus. It can be fired continuously without ever overheating, dealing damage at an apparent tick rate of 5 ticks per second until its energy is depleted, at which point it must be recharged with Carbon (0.5%/unit), Condensed Carbon (1.5%/unit) or Oxygen (1%/unit).
Mining properties[edit | edit source]
The Exocraft Mining Laser initially behaves similarly to a Mining Beam without the Advanced Mining Laser upgrade, dealing 98 damage per apparent tick to minerals and Flora. Additionally, it can be used to harvest Resource Deposits, though its large mining radius makes it very inefficient at the task compared to the Terrain Manipulator.
Combat properties[edit | edit source]
The Exocraft Mining Laser is mediocre at harvesting Fauna and fighting Sentinels, dealing 98 damage per apparent tick to these targets. However, the weapon's laser properties make it much easier to use at long range than the Exocraft Mounted Cannon.
Game description[edit | edit source]
A mining laser too cumbersome for handheld operation, they are found only installed on Exocraft.
Crafting[edit | edit source]
Exocraft Mining Laser can be built using a blueprint and the following resources:
- Magnetised Ferrite x25
- Chromatic Metal x100
Oxygen Capsule x2
Exocraft Mining Laser can be dismantled after construction, returning the following resources:
- Magnetised Ferrite x12
- Chromatic Metal x50
Oxygen Capsule x1
Additional information[edit | edit source]
- The weapon actually deals damage 10 times per second, but pairs of damage ticks are automatically added together to reduce clutter for the purposes of damage number display.
- This technology has one blueprint upgrade, Exocraft Mining Laser Upgrade Sigma, and a dedicated Upgrade Module type, Exocraft Laser Module.
Version history[edit | edit source]
