Limited upgrades for this is not sufficient. It should last continously with enough upgrades. The whole point is to be excessive. It's currently used best when used in 1 burst intervals and that's just not fun. Holding it down and scouring the earth is best but the long cooldown loses the fun.
No reason to not make this excessive. Comeon.

#Laser not good enough.

Trying to turn your space station I to the Death Star? 😛

yes.. but in this case i wanted to remove a mountain.. and it was fun for a bit, and then it just got annoying due to the cooldown. i have resources to upgrade the station but it's maxed out. Just seems limited for no good reason.

Agreed! Laser is a fun-to-use and quite unique feature of the game, so restricting it feels pointless. I'd recommend a repeatable research for increasing it's fire duration (and maybe one to increase it's strength as well, as getting rid of mountains is still quite a task even with the current laser).

have a look at the game's workshop

allow space station to drop huge wad of explosives and bomb the terrain 😄

Nah. I dont want to blow up stuff with explosives or the orbital laser. I want the laser to be buff-able like OP suggested.
Sure. it got faster with recent updates, but its still just way too slow.

get the mod from workshop, then it'll mine faster
500 dig range, almost instagibs blocks.

Nah. Im deferring any use of mods until after EA is finished.
Its hard to help make the vanilla game better, if I just run to mods first.

well the vanilla u cant control when or what releases. With mods, esp QOL ones, u can advance yourself and stop suffering. Like the blueprint mod
the slow laser thing , has been known for over a year and a half , and its still slow

any way to tweak its settings? id love a Right click feature for Drill laser "power" mode. insta gibbing 500 blocks makes an entirely different kind of mess
copper dock
it doesnt, it almost instagibs block and has 500 range. IF u actually kill to many blocks at once, the game defaults to limited simulation mode due to the debris. Try it , its fast and controllable

oh! then ill download it, ty

I'm personally fine with the power of the laser, but there should be further upgrades to the recharge speed, to eventually allow constant use. Such an easy upgrade from a coding perspective.

Mining laser, not the orbital laser

No, this thread is about the station laser. OP even talks about upgrades on the station.

Exactly. Why should they prioritize fixing the feedback, if people are just going to go right to mods and give the game a Free Pass?
