Research Data
The Laser is a Tier 5 excavation tool unlocked for 5,000 Gold. It consumes Energy to project sustained ranged Drilling damage for excavating hard surface layers and mineral-bearing terrain.
The official Research page is marked work in progress. These facts reflect the version checked August 24, 2026 and may change with game updates.
Laser: Confirmed Function
Its damage type is the same hard-material category used by the Drill, but the Laser applies it at range as a sustained beam. Official examples include Stone, Copper Ore and Crackstone. Research also calls the tool power-hungry, making Energy supply part of the excavation plan rather than a background detail.
Setup and Production Role
Build and charge sufficient Florinol Battery capacity before a long excavation pass, aim at the hard layer from a safe position and hold the beam only while material is being removed. Use the closer Drill where reach is unnecessary so the Laser's high power demand does not burden routine work.
Limits and Verification
The official pages give no Energy-per-second figure, damage rate, beam range or width, upgrade table or efficiency comparison with the Drill. Power-hungry is qualitative, so this page does not turn it into an invented battery-runtime calculation.
