if we will make lazer that can be rotated by 90 degrees i think it would be rly cool to make lazers transmit energy so they can power other lazers or even recycle power by shooting it at a wall(not the whole amout cuz that would be broken but still)
#lazers that transmit power
gray phoenix
remote rover
yeah that is a cool idea, I have thought of that

Maybe not at a wall but could make lasers power generators?
Might cause inconsistent firing if you walk through the laser, but that is no different from disconnecting a wall to get through

I mean that’s part of the game that if you have a lazer wasting energy you have to get in to deal with it
quick cliff
Would they still cause damage tho?
hybrid timber
What you mean
remote rover
what I would do is make a block that, if it is being hit by a lazer of your own color, then instead of taking damage it acts like a pgen
hybrid timber
Interesting. Then we are getting into the realm of making new types of blocks. But cool yeah
remote rover
i mean this sort of thing is alot easier then like fixing the netcode and fixing desyncs and fundamental stuff
hybrid timber
Dang
remote rover
ive also been thinking about healing stations and resurrection chambers
fun stuff
thats ez
hybrid timber
Ye ye. Dang can’t wait. But then balancing will have to come into effect. Or just leave that to us to make maps that balance it for you 😂
quick cliff
What you mean
Meant like does an opponent or their stuff blocking the way take damage or does it stop energy transmitting
remote rover
yeah, the lazer would function as normal
hybrid timber
Um yeah
quick cliff
Ah

Probably want to keep the number of new blocks (and required extra shops) low. Hence why I suggested to add this functionality to the gen blocks. They can then either receive power from the gen spot under them or from a laser (or both).
