Taartenbakker Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hey, I was wondering if it was able to change the laser focus for the laser drill to focus different blocks. I looked in the config and couldnt find it. I would like to be able to set one to focus certus quartz ore from applied energistics. Thanks in advance!

badkruka Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Use a white or many whites. For each focus lense you add will increase the chance to spawn that ore. So two of same will increase the chance more then just using one. http://wiki.technicpack.net/Laser_Focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taartenbakker Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 But does that work for certus quartz as well? It says white is for nether quartz and thats is a different kind of quartz I want to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirleader Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 From everything I've been able to read, there is no conclusive evidence that foci change the likelihood of obtaining Certus Quartz. One source did believe a white focus would work, but most discussions don't even mention certus quartz. That said, it will have the same likelihood of being mined as other ores, so at least you know you should be getting some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taartenbakker Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yeah thats what I figured and thats why I was looking in the config file to see if it could be changed. Since according to http://wiki.technicpack.net/Laser_Focus grey and light grey foci have the same thing happen. I was wondering if anyone knew if I could change the light grey to focus certus quartz instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirleader Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 One thing to keep in mind about those results (from the wiki) -- they were generated through sampling, so are the result of probability. The intent of the foci might not be the same, but the results were. I guess I'll have to do some more methodical sampling (if I ever get around to building a Laser Drill) to see if I can pick apart any singular advantage. As for changing the config, sorry I can't be of help there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taartenbakker Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Well thanks for replying and I will go do some testing as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badkruka Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Sorry missed that you where asking for Certus Quartz. I just put Quartz to memory when I was looking. But since Laser Drill creates all ores lenses are obsolete. If you have a fully automated powerplant that can deliver 200Mj/tic to the drill that > quarry since the drill will run 24/7.
