I found this fix in the comment section of the Hyperium Turret from a wonderful MIJAMIJAMIJA.
HOW TO FIX CRASH:
In big_mining_laser.rules, change the following code from:

TurretCollider
{
Type = CircleCollider
ChainedTo = Turret
Radius = 0.84375
Density = .75
}

to this:


TurretCollider
{
Type = CircleCollider
Location = &../Turret/Location
Radius = 0.84375
Density = .75
}

I repeatedly tried to use this mod, it caused my game to crash every time, could you fix this?

... nevermind, i'm blind-

What's it's power use though-?

@SkillT I put the original in as a dependency. It should prompt people to subscribe to the original, but a more obvious link would be well to do. Just easier. My mod is useless without yours, after all.

@Leona Hi i like that you did your own version of the Big Mining Laser! But it would be realy nice if you would link or comment the original in your mod description :) have fun modding!

@Shuri-sama I made a mod to buff this laser, to be more inline with the better mining laser's range.

@Kyle the Hat that is above my skills

How doable would creating a for-mining tractor beam that automatically targets the furthest object marked for mining within its range and pulls it closer?

如果你已经有我的采矿大修，不要使用这个！

I mean I have a mod installed that makes astroids have 9x times more quantity. So the problem there is that the single blocks of ressources have 9x more HP which results in mining times of 1-5mins depending on the size of the astroid you're mining. And that is at max game time boosting.

So I appreciate any mining laser that can speed up that process. >.>

@RubADuck also it does something with your brain if you have to wait at least a little for your reward. ^^ in think it feels more rewarding this way. ofc this is subjective

@RubADuck i play with my friends in a semi competitive way and omega strong mining laser would make it so that mining ist is way stronger than killing ships wich turns into a "hunt for asteroids" so yes depending on how you play there is such a thing as too powerful mining lasers

@RubADuck the mining laser can attack ships too. So a very overpowered mining laser would be tearing enemies to shreds too.

@Kazimir how can a Mining Laser be "powerful"? You just get the job done faster, which is QoL.

@Shuri-Sama that is correct. As Kazimir Iskander said im trying to keep the vanilla ballance. :)

@Shuri-Sama, the better mining mod replaces the normal laser with a ludicrously powerful one for no additional cost. This one looks more reasonable as a tech upgrade.

hmm with the better mining mod your normal mining laser get already better than yours.
