The Dimensional Laser is an endgame multiblock machine that extracts fluid from a scanned chunk.

This page describes Voluminous Energy 0.5 (Alpha 2, for 1.21.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2). All numbers are the default values from the startup config and can be changed there.

Usage

Use a Fluid Scanner in a chunk to record the chunk's fluid onto an RFID Chip from your inventory, then put the chip in the laser. Which fluid a chunk has, and how much is extracted each time, depends on the chunk's climate (see the table below). After a start-up sequence, the laser extracts the chunk's fluid into its tank every 20 ticks ("Process Time") while it has power. An upgrade in the upgrade slot shortens the processing time (see Machine upgrades).

Energy

	Default	Config setting
Power consumption	1,024 FE/t	Power Consumption
Energy storage	Integer.MAXVALUE / 4 FE	Maximum Power
Maximum input/output	Integer.MAXVALUE / 16 FE/t	Maximum Transfer

Inventory

The "default face" is the side of the machine that automation (hoppers, pipes) uses for the slot by default, relative to the machine's front. It can be changed in the machine's IO settings.

#	Slot	Default face	Notes
1	Bucket input (fill/empty tank)	Up
2	Bucket output	Down
3	Item input	Back
4	Upgrade	—	Speeds up processing (see Machine upgrades)

Tanks

Tank	Capacity	Restriction
Output	4,000 mB

Multiblock

The Dimensional Laser needs a column of three Solarium Machine Casing blocks directly below it.

Crafting a Dimensional Laser on its own in a crafting grid returns a fresh Dimensional Laser, clearing its stored data.
