The Korolev Laser Drill is a End-Game activity that prospectors unlock by finishing quests for the Korolev faction.

Description

Called down from space and standing as a massive structure, the Korolev Laser Drill offers prospectors the possibility to mine letium and provides some of the highest vantage points they can find.

Features

The Laser Drill consist of 3 main floors, the bottom floor where you get onto the Laser Drill, the middle floor where the tip of the Laser Drill and the top floor which provides 360 degree view of the area.

There is also a small section between the middle and top floor where prospectors will find the controls for the Laser Drill.

Guide

In order for a prospector to mine letium the first need to clear the quest <TBD>. This provides them with a Laser Drill Beacon as well as the possibility to craft more.

After attaining a Laser Drill Beacon, prospectors need to visit the surface of Fortuna III and find a Letium Vein, a large green geyser.

Once a Letium Vein has been found, a prospectors can walk up to it and place their Laser Drill Beacon. This will cause a large Laser Drill to come down from the sky, making a lot of sound and visible throught the entire area.

As soon as a Laser Drill has been called in, prospectors should be aware that other prospects will attempt to take control of it for themselves.

When the Laser Drill have finally landed and lowered it's ramps, prospectors may proceed to climb aboard and secure the area. Once secured, the Laser Drill can be turned on from the Control Room between the middle-section and the roof.

When turned on, Laser Drill will ramp up and start drilling the letium using a high-powered laser that will desintigrate anything that it comes in contact with, including unsuspecting prospectors.

Every 25% of power used by the Laser Drill will cause it to dump it's current yield into 3 containers located on the drill as following.

  • Bottom floor, right next to the laser.
  • Middle floor back in the corner above one of the ramps.
  • On ramp between middle and top floors, right next to the control room.

At 0% remaining energy, the Laser Drill will dump the last yield into the containers before triggering a low-energy alarm. Once this alarm is triggered, prospectors have only a short time to grab the last yield and get of before the Laser Drill uses it's reserves to fly back to Prospect Station for refueling.

Loot

The yield dumped into containers mainly consist of Letium, but other minerals are also found such as Focus Crystal, Veltecite, Nickel and Titan.

Each time the yield is dumped increases the efficency as the top layers gets drilled away. A good total yield of Letium can reach up to 35 Letium Clot.
