Laser drills are pretty cool, they let you use power in order to mine ores automatically. There is one issue though. Laser drills take too much power. We only have one type of power generation right now, and that is the dynamos from Thermal Expansion, and while these are great and provide renewable energy, they only provide 80RF/tick, which means that to power a single laser drill, you need 256 dynamos! 4 stacks! That's a lot of dynamos! This really should not be this way, since MFR on its own is not usually a thing, and is normally paired with other mods, which generally include mods with better power solutions (think mekanism, etc.) So, when we have these MFR machines in b-team, we can barely use them since they take a huge amount of power. Its also not great for the server to have thousands of dynamos running, I mean, my faction already has more than two thousand dynamos setup just for laser drills. This just isn't how it was meant to be, and laser drills need to be buffed by lowering the amount of power they draw, or increasing the speed that they run at, because currently the situation is pretty broken.
