The only thing that really bugs me about the laser is that it can automine certus quartz. I don't like making that resource easily accessible. I wish PowerCrystals let me disable that, but I can't.

Why you care about certuus specific completely baffles me. There is nothing special about certuus that there isn't about copper. The laser allows any of them to be produced in quantities exceeding the intended design.

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth’s orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known the man.

Ladies and gentlemen, the internet has served its purpose. Feel free to power down your computers and breathe the outside air. Success has been achieved.

But, seriously, I'm going to have to steal that rainbow fall idea and build one for my daughter.

How long did you run those lasers for comparison?

I just liked watching ED struggle with all his ore generation while I always had 4x the sum of CQ he had because I hand mined once a week. I confess, that was fun.

Huh? I don't think the definition of metal is "not hydrogen". And are you saying only 1% of matter is hydrogen? Colour me confused.

I was using hyperbole to make a joke which didn't work I guess.

It's actually a little more complicated than that. Look at a periodic table. Hydrogen(even though it can become metallic under some circumstances), the noble gases, and the 12 elements to the right(and including) of the diagonal formed by Carbon, Phosphorus, and Selenium are the non-metals.

Still, the actual ratio is about ~0.1% of matter is metallic since hydrogen is ~75% of matter and helium is ~24% of matter all on their own. Carbon and Oxygen take up most of the rest of the matter. Everything else fits into the tiny fraction left over.

I hand mined CQ! Then I got bored of it and decided to do other stuff and let the lasers take care of it. Now we have a bunch just sitting there doing nothing.

rymmie1981 I'm still not sure what joke you're trying to make.

Well there's an argument that the laser shouldn't be providing "silk touch" ores, but that would apply as equally to coal as it does to quartz.

Keep in mind that MFR also has a machine for applying fortune to those ores, costing mob essence of course. I've never made one but it's there. (Instead I used TiCo or DC picks. Though that's kinda boring so I don't really use the laser very much.)
