The enderic laser uses large amounts of energy to fire a high-power 
beam in a specific direction.
It is primarily used for rapid long-range mining or as an 
long-range power transmission system.

**Control and Targeting**

To set the target direction, use a [target designator](@oritech:target_designator) 
on the laser block. The laser has a maximum range of 128 blocks 
and will continue firing until obstructed or disabled by a redstone 
signal. Note that you're only setting a target direction, not target block. It will try to destroy all blocks in that direction.

When mining, the laser automatically collects drops into its internal 
inventory.

<Callout variant="warning">
    Items that do not fit into the internal inventory will be destroyed. 
    Ensure you use [item pipes](@oritech:item_pipe) to extract resources 
    continuously.
    Be careful: the laser will destroy almost anything in its path, 
    though it passes through glass.
</Callout>

**Advanced Interactions**

- **Energy Transfer**: When aimed at machines or power storage, the 
laser will charge them, ignoring normal input limits. This is required 
for the [Atomic Forge](@oritech:atomic_forge_block) and 
[Bedrock Extractor](@oritech:deep_drill_block).
- **Fluxite Harvesting**: Directing the laser at amethyst clusters 
will transform them into [fluxite](@oritech:fluxite) when mined.
- **Growth Acceleration**: Aiming at a **Budding Amethyst** will 
massively accelerate its growth rate without destroying it.
- **Combat**: Equipped with a [hunter addon](@oritech:machine_hunter_addon), 
the laser will actively track and attack entities. 
Addons like speed apply to combat as well.
- **Exo-Armor Charging**: The laser can wirelessly charge a player's 
[Exo Chestplate](@oritech:exo_chestplate) if the player is targeted (only with a hunter addon installed).

**Addons & Upgrades**

The laser has a single addon slot at the bottom, which significantly 
alters its behavior for large-scale operations.

- **Quarry Addon**: Converts the laser into a mass-excavation tool. 
It increases the beam's width, allowing it to clear large tunnels 
or areas efficiently rather than just a single line.
- **Yield Addon**: Acts like Fortune, increasing the resource drops 
from mined blocks.
- **Speed Addon**: Increases the mining speed (or amount of energy transferred) at the cost of higher 
energy consumption.
- **Efficiency Addon**: Decreases the energy consumption when mining or accelerating blocks.
- **Hunter Addon**: Switches the laser to combat mode. 
You can cycle targeting modes (Monsters, Animals, Traders) by using 
the [Target Designator](@oritech:target_designator) on the laser block.
