Advanced Mining Laser

The Advanced Mining Laser is described as a Mining Beam companion unit for mining advanced resources. It is a distinct technology choice when basic-resource gathering does not meet the stated need.

How it works

The source names the Advanced Mining Laser as a companion unit to the Mining Beam and assigns it advanced resource mining. It does not specify which resources qualify as advanced or provide unlock requirements, so check the current in-game blueprint description.

When it helps

If the resource you need is identified in game as requiring advanced mining, consider this technology. If you are gathering basic resources, the source instead assigns that role to the Mining Beam.

The tradeoff

The source states its advanced-resource role but gives no resource list or blueprint acquisition details.

Your next step

Look up the current blueprint and target resource requirements before installing it.
