Mining Laser

The mining laser is a new machine added to the mod since version 1.0.27X3564 and it serves as a quarry, with some fancy light that mines blocks in a radius, it can take craftable upgrades to have better performance

Crafting
It's crafted at the assembly machine with:

3 steel tank

8 steel ingots

12 steel plates

3 Redstone crystals

5 diamonds

8 polymer bars

3 motors

4 high-speed steel ingots

6 high-speed steel bolts

3 li-ion energy storage block

Upgrades it can take
Speed upgrade (highly recommended)

Effectiveness upgrade (highly recommended)

Fortune upgrade

Shredder upgrade

Centrifuge upgrade

Crystalizer upgrade (highly recommended)

Smelter upgrade

Scrap destroyer upgrade (very recommended if you do not want cobble, gravel, dirt, etc)

Screaming scientists upgrade (uncraftable, make half-life scientists scream when the laser mines blocks)

Overdrive machine upgrade (U S E, it's m a n d a t o r y)

Some of these upgrades have levels, for max efficiency you may use MK3 upgrades, especially the overdrive one.

Usage
Place on a ceiling above the terrain you want to make a quarry on (not your base) it's size is 3x3x3, when placed it needs energy (a lot when upgraded but worth it) to run, it can store up to 100MHE of energy and supports 12 upgrades, there is a limit in how much upgrades of the same type you can stack (per example, max speed level is 12, one speed upgrade MK3 gives 3 points, so the max amount of speed upgrades it profits is 4, so using more would be a waste) when given enough energy, turn it on, it will start, make sure to not touch the laser or you will be turn on fire, be careful. It has a storage, unfortunately its small, fortunately on the other side, it has 4 holes which you can hopper the items to near chests to amplify storage.

With the high amount of energy it spends, you may want to have a reactor on its side or above (not below, or it will get mined) to fuel it constantly (a good reactor please, if well upgraded, you may bring a full small nuclear reactor to keep up with it, although I would place the industrial generator as the bare minimum) or it will run out of energy eventually, because we want it to run a good time right?

Trivia
-For some reason, it has a screaming scientists upgrade, and half-life ones

-overdrive upgrade makes it go S P E E D

-this reactor needs a mid-late game amount of energy to run, it's worth though.
