- Heavy Tree & Rock Laser Cleaver (2x2): onboard equipment grid module that automatically vaporizes oncoming trees and boulders with focused quad green laser beams directly ahead of your vehicle:
- Ramming vs Laser Cleaving: ramming trees damages vehicle health, drains energy shields, and kills driving momentum; the laser cleaver cleanly obliterates obstacles ahead of the front bumper so you maintain full speed through dense forests.
- Specialized Obstacle Targeting: exclusively targets natural obstacles (trees, rocks, boulders, rubble) without wasting energy or beam focus on friendly structures or hostile biters.
- Two-Tier Priority Targeting: prioritizes obstacles directly along your forward movement path first (Priority #1), followed by obstacles in the immediate surrounding body zone (Priority #2).
- Stacking & Research Scaling: multiple cleaver modules can be installed simultaneously in the vehicle grid to tackle several obstacles in parallel. Damage and firing rate directly benefit from force laser research upgrades and Factorio 2.0 quality scaling.
