AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE

Notes

The Laser is a large, placed world object (5x4x5 footprint) used to destroy the incoming meteor before it impacts the world. It is crafted through its own recipe and requires a clear line of sight to the meteor, plus a significant power supply to charge and fire. A practical tip: because multiple lasers (commonly four) must fire simultaneously to stop the meteor, coordinate with your settlement to build and power them well before the impact deadline.
