Right now, there is a single RF-powered laser that consumes a modest 200 RF/t. The laser is creates is plenty for some applications, but in others you need to chain multiple lasers together. While this looks amazing, it causes some fairly spectacular lag.

The obvious answer is to make a bigger laser that draws more power, but that's boring. Instead, I recommend a laser that takes any number of input lasers, amplifies them, and turns them into a single bigger laser.

This new laser would have the following rules:

  1. Any number of input lasers can be shined on any face of the block, except the output side.

  2. Each laser must be a different color. This means that efficient setups will be more complex.

  3. The laser draws 200 RF/t for each incoming laser, the same as a standard RF laser. This means that each input beam costs a total of 400 RF/t.

  4. Despite doubling the energy cost, the laser would amplify the strength of the laser by 10. This means that setups such as tree farms which require strong lasers can be built with a fewer number of lasers, saving on lag.
