Laser Power

The Aquatic Catalyst burns prismarine and fires it as a laser beam.

NauTec machines run on laser power, measured in AP per tick (AP/t). A beam carries two values: its power, and its purity. Machines use the power to run, and recipes check the purity before they start.

A beam only forms between two laser blocks. The sending block needs something on that side that accepts a beam (a machine, a relay, a junction, a lens), no more than 16 blocks away (laserDistance in config/nautec-common.toml), or 64 from a relay, with no solid block in between. Beams pass through water and through glass, so you can wall a beam in glass.

Aquatic Catalyst

Your first power source. It burns prismarine items one at a time and fires a beam out of one face.
