Mining Laser

Mining Laser is an alternative mining tool available to be crafted in the Tinkering Table. The Mining Laser has multiple tiered upgrades, which increase the Mining Laser's mining speed and area.

Unlike conventional mining tools, the Mining Laser does not mine in a selected area, but instead rapidly fires projectiles in order to damage tiles. This results in lower precision. This is offset however by the increased power and the ability to dual-wield them for even greater effectiveness.

Upgrades
Once crafted, you can upgrade the Mining Laser in your Tricorder. Each upgrade adds a small boost to mining speed, area, and length of beam.

Upgrading the final form of the mining laser (CT-4 Miner) will increase its beam length (up to tier 20). However, its mining speed, area, etc. will remain unchanged (they reach their maximum at tier 8).
