Lore

"In the bustling cantinas scattered across the galaxy, whispers of AshCorp's latest breakthroughs echo through the air, igniting a fervor among spacefarers and settlers alike. The allure of laser-based tools, with their promise of efficiency and precision, captivates the imagination of all who hear of them. Sensing the opportunity amidst the growing demand, Vortex seized upon the chance to further cement their place in the cosmos.

Drawing upon their extensive experience and intimate knowledge of the market, Vortex Tactical brokered a groundbreaking contract with AshCorp, securing the rights to harness the foundational principles of the revolutionary gravitational technology. With unwavering determination, they channeled their efforts into their burgeoning Vortex Industrial division, tasked with bringing this innovative technology to fruition.

Over a span of three months, Vortex Industrial embarked on a relentless pursuit of perfection. They meticulously integrated AshCorp's patented gravitational technology with their own advanced laser systems, ensuring unparalleled performance and reliability. The result was a marvel of engineering—a suite of laser-based tools that not only surpassed expectations but set a new standard for excellence in the industry.

With production in full swing, Vortex Industrial wasted no time in distributing their cutting-edge creations to spaceports throughout the galaxy's coreward regions. Almost overnight, their laser tools became the coveted choice of spacers everywhere, renowned for their unmatched quality and effectiveness.

Today, as the legacy of Vortex continues to evolve, their indelible mark on the cosmos grows ever more pronounced. Through innovation and ingenuity, they forge a path forward, empowering settlers and spacefarers to navigate the uncharted depths of space with confidence and resolve."

Having looked at other mods like this, they all seems to be built around toolcore- and they all seem to have some issues. I honestly wonder if TC just needs more time to mature?


Appreciate the work you've done, and your response. It looks really cool when it fires up in its housing and animates. For me Cheetah's old laser tools is still the right balance for my taste. Sadly its wiiiildly out of date.

Thanks. I am going to end up recoding this entirely again. I made it in the weapons race as toolcore was introduced and honestly fell behind on keeping up with bugs. I'll remake it with the newest formatting and prolly scale back the sizing a bit.
A much lower power version would be on the list of things to do next as like another mod geared at that vanilla+ niche you mentioned.

Really great art and animations, and clearly alot of thought has gone into world building. Sadly I also get the stone duplication bug, which is worse than I expected as my ship cant chuck it out fast enough to take off.

I also find that the tools are wildly over powered for what I want. If you want to 'delete' an asteroid then this is the tool for the job. I suspect I could use the Grinder function as a combat weapon.

I think all I want is a multi tool, without any real bumps to vanilla other than reach.

Be carfefull, by using this for drilling. The FPS are dropping hard and the game freezing sometimes.

Hi, I like the look of your mod, but before I decide to use it or not I need to know, how big is your small grid tool, as so far all the block tools I have tried have always been a large block size?

So I tested it out, and it mined a lot of stone but not a lot of gold, which was what it was also grabbing, minor bug?

Really nice mod, ive run into an issue tho.
When mining something and deactivating the laser, it still produces ore without actually mining. Making infinite resources. This can be stopped by turning it off

I also have other laser tool mods using tool core and no other mod is having this problem

1.8GW on a small grid as max and 110GW for large grid
