Overview

The FEL or Free Electron Laser is a large (7x3x3) multiblock utilized with the SILEX to produce various laser wavelengths needed for all SILEX recipes. To start it up, simply place a laser crystal inside the marked slot, and supply it with power, then just click the switch to activate it. You must place the SILEX at least 2 blocks away from activated FEL laser, or else Its going to melt, you can power up to 5 SILEX'es with one FEL, which is probably more than enough for all of your needs. In order to "cut" the laser (and perhaps protect the chests if you placed it in front of them for some reason), you have to use place any type of concrete on the laser. Glass on the other hand is going to let the laser through, while reinforced not, resulting in it being melted. Any other block other than concrete is replaced by fire, except for Digamma, which replaces it with Digamma Fire, and the block under it with Ash.

FEL Crafting Recipe

The FEL can be made in an assembly machine, with the following recipe:

Energy Consumption

Crystal Type Energy Consumption/s
Co²-Desh Laser Crystal 75 KHe/s
Bismuth Crystal 225 KHe/s
CMB-Schrabidate-Antimatter Laser Crystal 675 KHe/s
Spark Laser Crystal 2.03 MHe/s
Digamma Laser Crystal 6.08 MHe/s

Processing speed gets faster the lower you go in the table

  • Visible light and Infrared is used the most.
  • Gamma is very rarely used.
  • Digamma seems to just be a direct upgrade to gamma in terms of speed.
  • Ultraviolet is used for Schraranium Crystal processing.

Dangers

  • Co²-Desh burns you (Infrared)
  • Bismuth blinds you until you die (Visible Light)
  • Schrabidate-Antimatter burns you (Ultraviolet)
  • Spark gives you ~400 rads/s (Gamma)
  • Digamma gives you ~0.2 drx/s (Digamma)
    • You can die to a Digamma laser in creative

Trivia

  • Bismuth makes a rainbow beam.
  • Digamma laser crystal and 2 other things have a very specific number of 1916169, the reason why is unknown.
    • It has a meaning but you should not know why.
