The Industrial Boring Laser takes tunnel boring to a whole new level. Capable of drilling a large diameter whole through solid rock at a rate of over 2m/s (the tunnel in the screenshot is 100m long and took about 45 seconds to make), this industrial machine can clear an entire ore deposit in under a minute or quickly create a large subterranean cave to construct a protected colony.

Features:

• Cylindrical form is perfect for easily navigating subterranean tunnels and it is short enough to be able to turn around in them too! • 16 laser drills *** This exceeds the block limit and probably won't be allowed in your multiplayer game *** • A large enclosed cabin • Four gatling guns for taking out drones, troops, trees, or just for funsies • A radar module for searching out ore deposits • Two mobile Constructors, an armor locker, an oxygen dispenser, two refrigerators, and seven cargo boxes • Two passenger seats • Plenty of lighting

Requirements:

Level: 20 • Iron: 1260 • Copper: 864 • Silicon: 667 • Cobalt: 64 • Sathium: 294 • Neodymium: 160 • Zascosium: 576 • Erestrum: 576

Notes:

• If you need to mine in a dense forest, you can use the gatling guns to clear the trees (unless they let you ram them down again - quick rant, but when my size class 46 capital ship went from full speed to stopped by hitting a tiny tree, I died inside a little)
